normally the ones that dont work , or dont pay out , im not too fussed with , 

however , these ones for these videos here dont just do nothing , they take my tab out of fallensword and first go to       a.jumponfire.com/click      then to b.v11media.com/click?k=9fcd2442c79fd4d4baa6bab5143bf707&o=71942&uid=99d6b63aa3c4582260f3c5eed08bfe99&subid1=201w6z38FhvtfMHn01G4xe1vdydD000.?

so i am more worried of being hijacked than of not getting the shards , anyone else getting the same issue with these three video rewards ?

ok ,.  an update to this at this stage is that 2 out of the three video rewards which were kicking out to an outside of fallensword site , still did kick out to those sites , but this time they actually loaded , played and paid out on those rewards , they were the contiki challenge one and the toyota camry adverts . the other one either vanished or didnt show up when i went back to check them just now . either way , i am still a bit unhappy at an advert which takes me away from the fallensword site without my choosing to do so . like i said earlier , im not usually too worried if this or that video reward doesnt payout , what i am worried about is that i am visiting a site i never consciously chose to go visit , it just seems a lot like hijacking to me and im worried it could be used to infect my computer . thoughts anyone ?

Me too. Especially considering I have to disable my script blocker to view the videos at all because of the way they script them. I definitely do not like it when I click to view a video, and rather than pop up in a video window like many do, they do a redirect to a funky URL.

I don't like being redirected either ... it should stay in an in-game window.

given that we are providing HCS a income stream by looking at these video rewards , i think the onus should be on HCS to not allow advertisers who use the advert to hijack the browser and take you to a separate website . too many of these websites infect computers .

completly agree..the other forum thread "offerwalls", also discusses this..but the cows seem to be ignoring this issue..bad for the game..bad for newbies to see..can cause players to leave the game..issue needs to be looked into..

There are "videos" on the supersonic page that, when clicked on,show a seperate screen with what appears to be a video in-screen - clicking them just takes you to a new page where there is no video and no shard credit.

excellent...Hoof needs to address this...new players use the vids to get started with some fsps...dont need them getting a bad first impression...

I'll tell you all right now, the videos on the supersonic page do not pay for the most part.  Only the vids from the box on the sidebar pay.  Of those, any that require you to visit another site will not pay, just refresh and move on.  This includes the social theater ones where you watch a video, then continue to the next step... the last step never completes... Again, it's a hassle, but just refresh and move on.  Just on videos that do pay, I'm averaging 5 dots a day.  Just a drop in a bucket, I know, but it finances my daily needs, which allows me to spend more of my real life $$$ on other things.
