AARP Online Community and Discussion Forums - Re: This Site Has So Many Problems

I was happy (as happy as one can get when trying to earn points on this site) to see the Staying Sharp videos were back this month. We went from 24 pages back to 32. Those videos appear in the list, showing that one will earn points for watching. However, when you open the video, no red circle for points appears. If you watch it, you don't get any points. Almost all of them are like that, putting a big dent in available videos, again. Then, there are the videos that come up in Spanish, and there are a lot of those. You can't earn points for watching those. (Obviously it is not m fault they are in Spanish, or all of them would be.) So we can assume that nothing will be fixed/changed during the rest of the month, as the first of a month seems to be the only time anyone does any work on this site.

or how about the videos (but could be quiz or calculator) that says one title but when you click on it a different item comes up then says you already got the points yet there is no checkmark on your page for the one that is in the wrong place?!

@ridgeviewfarm , I wonder WHY Spanish videos DONOT earn points & I guess the Spanish Speaking members DONOT mind.

Anyway, to SAVE me time THIS MONTH, I had made a list of the videos that worked for me LAST MONTH.

Lol, was a VERY BORING and long project but one I am now glad I did.

This month will be a whole lot stress free as far as clicking on videos that has issues. Now I guess I am picking the NON Spanish videos and WAS only encountering ones with a BLACK SCREEN.

Lol, now to hope MORE donot end up with BLACK SCREENS.

Take care,

Nicole!

Lol Denese @WebWiseWoman , I am TRYING to save enough points for giftcards I need (Walmart,Amazon)!!! I am SO OVER the BORING OLD VIDEOS. Time to load up NEW videos that work. Would be nice IF they would load about 30 NEW videos EACH MONTH. As I had posted previously, I NO longer do the Sweepstakes or Instant Wins. Wasted so many of my saved points & was spending too much time on stuff that NEVER works. I will do the NEW quizzes when they appear. Yes, some can be "interesting" and I have learn't new info. But NOT "repeating" old quizzes = was nodding off from total boredom. Anyway my friend - HAPPY Thursday!! Nicole!
