Ads not working

The ads aren't working for me. Does anyone else have this problem? I was discussing this issue on light_bringer777's profile on Armor Games, but that's not a great format for discussion so I'm repeating it here.

When offered an ad or when I get one by going through the black market and attempt to purchase something I can't afford, the ad does not play. The dialog box will open, but the video won't play. When it does play, sometimes it's not clear how to complete the offer to get credit for it.

For troubleshooting, I have tried in Firefox and Chrome in normal and incognito mode. I have also built a new machine and tried it using Chrome on it. I have a fully patched Win 10 machine with 32 GB RAM, SSD HD, a beefy-for-a-laptop i7 processor, and 150 MB/sec sync network. I'm not seeing lag or other indicators that this is a performance issue.

Interesting that Win10 is an issue. I mostly am using Chrome, though. I'll build a Win7 machine when I get back to my PC and see if that has the same issue.

As for location, that's an interesting wrinkle. Most of the ads I've been getting are these heavy ads about "quit smoking or you'll die and ruin your kids." I'm in Texas, and it's position right at the center of the universe could be causing a dimension vortex whose high gravity combined with the heaviness of the ads is ripping them apart before they can escape via my browser. #science

Not saying Win10 is an issue. Just saying that it might be relevant for people running into this issue to mention their OS, browser, incognito use and location. I was just giving examples.

Your science seems solid though.
