Oshawott Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 These past few days I've been having issues accessing surveys on mypoints specifically while using Google Chrome. Many survey links send me to blank pages that won't load properly, and in rare instances where some pages do load, the pages won't accept my information such as my birthdate which I'm suddenly told isn't valid. Now at first I assumed it was just a problem with their site, but these problems don't happen when I use Google Chrome's Incognito Mode. Also somewhat related, but I noticed last night that some CAPTCHAs on other sites don't work properly either when I use the regular Chrome browser, but work just fine when I use Incognito Mode. I've tried clearing my cache and cookies on the affected sites, but that doesn't resolve the problems. Is my version of Chrome just glitchy or what? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy21 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 I've never had a problem with Chrome, at least not so far. I always try to have the most updated version which may or may not help. I always thought Google Chrome was the browser of choice for surveys, but maybe not anymore? I've hathemselves asap! Microsoft Edge and Firefox in the pSt so almost exclusively use Chrome. I hope your problems resolve tthemselves asap! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
episemion Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Never have used Chrome unless a site required it. Used to use Edge , but now use Firefox as it is faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFriday Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 I have problems using Microsoft Edge to do surveys. It seems like Edge crashes on me too much. I still use it to search on the internet though so I can get my Microsoft Rewards. I seems to do best with Google as far as doing surveys, and I never have any problems with Chrome. I did a Forthright and a YouGov survey today on Chrome. I just cashed out on Forthright for a $29 Amazon GC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jberri12 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Here are the typical steps to resolve browser issues: Restart your browser. Make sure you use "exit" and open a new session. Don't just close the browser window. Make sure you are running the latest version and/or there is no pending update waiting for a browser restart. (step one should fix the latter) Clear your browser cached files and images Clear your browser cookies Uninstall and reinstall the browser Based on the description that it works in incognito and not in regular mode, one of the steps from 1-4 should correct the issue.

I really liked Firefox but had problems using it. I switched to Chrome and haven't had many problems, not yet. Guess it all depends on a lot of factors as to which browser works best.

Oshawott Posted January 26 Author Report Share Posted January 26 An update: After about a week of switching to using the Firefox browser, I eventually resumed using Google Chrome again out of curiosity and the issue that I mentioned was finally resolved, on its own apparently. It's been almost two weeks since I sent mypoints a help request ticket about the situation, but of course they never replied. Now there's an issue of them not paying me despite it being 7 days since I requested a cash out, and all my previous cash outs have only taken 2 or 3 days at most. I'm really starting to regret joining that site. It's nearly impossible to get a response from them when something goes wrong or even just when asking for clarification about minor issues... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you resent? They are usually good about payments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
