When viewing Ad's

ERROR MESSAGE WHEN VIEWING AD'S

There is a limited amount of clicks assigned to each
advertisement and when maximum clicks is reached,
the advertisement expires.

This is when you see an error message.

With so many members clicking on very few ad's
you have to be very fast and lucky to get the
credited from viewing the extra ad's.

For example:
An ad displayed with 200 clicks available
and 300 users clicking on them only the
first 200 users will get credit for them.






FAQ=>Advertisements=>Viewing advertisements

What is an extended view?

An advertiser chooses between four kinds of exposure:
Micro, Mini, Standard or Extended.

A micro exposure lasts for 5 seconds, a
mini exposure lasts for 15 seconds, a
standard exposure lasts for 30 seconds and
an extended exposure lasts for 60 seconds.
This time is calculated from when the
progress bar starts until it ends and the
click gets credited to the user's account.

An extended view advertisement is worth
more than a standard view one. You can
find values per click in our help page.

When the bar finishes loading you
will get credited and see one of these validations.

Try these troubleshooting steps one by one:

• Clear cookies and cache
• Restart your DSL/Cable Modem
• Try with a different browser
• Try clicking any link in the ad.
• Try after clearing your local DNS Cache.

  ( You can start Firefox in Safe Mode by clicking Start, selecting Run (or use the Start Search box in Windows 7 and Vista) and then entering the following in the text field: firefox -safe-mode)
• Check your firewall/antivirus maybe they block your browser or NeoBux.
• You should also scan your system for viruses, spyware, or other malware ( they can also cause trouble )
• Reinstall/update your Flash Player
• Reinstall/Update your Java
• If you use custom DNS ( like open DNS etc ) disable them and try again.
• Mini/Extra ads have limited quota and when the quota is finished it gives you error.

HTTP Error 404 Not found

I am in no way a computer expert, but after some searching, here is something that may help you...(not sure whether you're using Internet Explorer or Firefox)



For Internet Explorer...

From Microsoft Support (click here for the article):
"When you attempt to visit a Web site on your local network (intranet), Internet Explorer displays a page with the following error message: Error - 404 Requested Information / is unavailable. Failed to connect to server name of the Web server. reason: hostname unknown".

"This problem occurs when you add a forward slash to the end of a Web address that is specified as an exception in the proxy server settings".

Follow the solution in the article.



For Firefox...

"Open Tools, Options then click Advanced then Network. Click on the Settings tab. Check to make sure No Proxy is checked. If it isn't, check it then ok out of the Options. Restart Firefox. All being well it will now connect. If it doesn't, try turning off the firewall, then try Firefox again".

Click here.



Also from Windows Help and Support...(Click the Start button on your computer and click Help and Support, then type "Proxy" in the Search bar.)

Why can't I view some websites?

If you can access some websites but not all of them, here are some possible causes:

• Your browser could be attempting to connect through a proxy server. If so, try connecting with the proxy server turned off.
  
• Your browser connection settings could be incorrect. To change connection settings, follow these steps:
  
  1. Click to open Internet Options.
  
  2. Click the Connections tab.
  
• Your router could be attempting to proxy DNS requests and failing. Refer to the documentation that came with your router for instructions on disabling DNS proxying.
  
• Parental Controls, Family Safety, or some other parental control software could be blocking access to certain websites.

Also, maybe try restoring to the default settings of your web-browser and disabling any plug-ins (except flash player). And check your firewall.

BAD GATEWAY

BAD GATEWAY

Usually means maintenance is going on in the background.

The Neobux server resets at (00:00) 12:00am ET
(Easten Time US & Canada) for about 15 minutes.

If you get the bad gateway message
just check back in 15~20 minutes.

If you are renting...
Try again to rent at your next selected renting hour. Alternatively change to a new renting time.

Hint: You should choose the shortest bar on the global distribution graph, as you will have less competition with other Neobux users to hire new referrals.

Another user with my IP address has already seen the advertisement in the last 24 hours

RROR MESSAGE

from FAQ=> Advertisements=> Viewing advertisements

Another user with my IP address has already seen the advertisement in the last 24 hours
We only allow advertisements to be
credited using the same IP address in 24 hours.

Dynamic IP addresses are delivered randomly
based on a geographical location.
This means that the IP you have today may
have been someone else's IP yesterday or a
few hours ago.

Some other probable causes may be:
Some ISPs (Internet Service Providers)
give the same IP address to more than one
user usually by using a proxy.

You're using a shared network environment
(such as a school, an office, a cybercafe
or even a building's network) where all
computers share the same internet IP address.

You have an unsecured wireless network and
someone near you may be using your internet
access without your consent.

Available solutions:

1. You can ask your ISP for a unique IP to solve the problem 100%
2. You can try to reboot your router (or turn off your modem,
wait up to 1 minute and then turn it back on) and try again.
3. Make sure that no one else is accessing internet through
your router (use a strong password).
