I use opera private tabs for most things and viki. Privat tabs (check settings) have usually adblock and trackblock. Some webs ask you to remove adblock and you can do that within the dashboard, otherwise you can’t access website, the trackblock stays still on. Others ask to accept cookies but you don’t have to! It closes all when browser is closed.

Also you can do in command prompt (as admin) type:

ipconfig /flushdns
and Enter
it will also flush old cache from websites

btw viki uses also google services :wink:

thank you :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

@vikicommunity Thank You for putting the AUTOPLAY button back in the Video Player, it’s such a relief and a battery saver!! :rose::rose::rose:

I think my gift is lost in the mail as I haven’t received mine yet…
But did Viki even send them. I assume they did as we are already 8 months in 2020.

I don’t think so in my memory they said they would let us know when they send them, but I could be wrong.

That was months ago but maybe you are right.

I received the QC gift 2019 by mail.
Click twice on blue buttons.

It is a coupon either for charities, either for shopping.

If I had knew it was for charities, I would have created and contributed on other accounts.

I’d also like to point out that the money is given to charities that are not based in my country, so the mail saying “Your contribution to Network for Good is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.” means it is deductible for Americans only, not deductible for people living outside America.

This gift is better than last year and it was nice to think about charities. Hope this charity option could be maintained for next years.

Yes, nice thought indeed.

Suggestion: it would be nice if it was also possible to have it for Quaterly rewards so people can opt for charities or gift. It would give more meaning in what we do or motivate some.

I have started to hate the number 10 :disappointed:, it has always existed with exceptions here on the site, for good is not in my country and for bad it is included. What is the continuing problem of excellence here ?!

There should be equality among all Volunteers here, as it was before, before all updates and new matters :expressionless:

I do not know why this always happens, there is still an exception for certain languages after all the languages have been to this matter now and the next cannot be predicted :thinking:

On the whole, thank you everyone :hibiscus:

Maybe you can try to ask them, we never know! They might not have sent it already?

Also, postal services are not working really good in my country because of covid.
It depends on the company: private companies work (Amazon delivery with delay or not.), public companies don’t always work, they send you an email or a text and customers have to go to their hangar within 48 hours to take it back, or else they move it in another hangar in another city.

How do postal services work for you?

I think it would have been best to send a digital card info, except if there’s a problem with the digital gift card working in these 10 countries (pick between Amazon coupon and about 8 others? I know that Amazon doesn’t ship/sell in every country (Latvia?) so the gift card would be useless.)

They made that post today… Good thing I bumped this topic?!

Really?
Once again, a change of plan (by Viki pertaining to volunteers) without informing volunteers. Perhaps I’ve missed the notification. If I had known of the change to digital gift cards or to the inclusion of an option to gift-forward to a charity, I would not have simply opted out again. :pensive:

Nonetheless, good changes. I hope it will be brought back again and again, too. For this year, and henceforth.

Yes, there were 3 charities we could gift money to ($20):

  • Save the children
  • Doctors without borders
  • (Anyone remembers the last one?)

It might not be a lot of money, but it’s still something and if added together, it could help.

This is a genius idea, by creating subtitles or segments, we could also help children from a part of the world or it could have a positive impact in real society (other than on dramas fans). It changes a lot of things!

If Viki can give more early info for 2020 and if we can still have charity options for the Quaterly and Yearly gifts, that’d be great, we could plan our volunteering activity for the second semester of 2020 and next years, I’d want to invest myself more if we can have the double causes.

postal services are excellent in my country :+1:
Perhaps what you say is correct, although the probability is low :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: thank you, dear
