I tried last night and today to start on the sweeps that are expiring on Sept. 30 but nothing comes up. Anybody else having this problem?

Yes, I see what you mean. This seems to happen for the last day of the month, maybe because of the large number of sweeps.

There is a way you can see them though, just not all at once. When you go to Expiring Sweeps, September 30, click one category at a time. For example, you can bring up all of the One Entry sweeps, and when you finish them you can click on the next category that you are interested in.

This seems to be a recent change, so you may want to check with the Admin to see if he is aware of it, or has plans to change it, or if it is here to stay.

Good luck with your sweeping!

I've reported the problem to Admin for review.

When you are having a problem with the site, could you please give a detailed description of the problem you are having, list any error messages you receive and state which internet browser you are currently using.  All will help Admin diagnose the problem quicker.  Thank you.

Thanks, Wolfie.

The Expiring Sweeps for the last day of the month have not been showing, unless you go to individual categories, for a couple of months. I thought it may have something to do with the recent site changes, so I was waiting to see if it got resolved.

Another thing that has been happening lately is that I cannot go from Expiring Sweeps to the SA Forum by using the "Jump to" box. I also thought this was related to recent site changes, but I copied the error message and will bring it to the Admin's attention, in case he doesn't already know.

As for the expiring sweepstakes you may not be able to pull the entire list with sometimes over 1000 listings if your internet access is dial up because the page is very long. Its best to drill into the individual end of month categories links.

The jump to links for the forum have been fixed.  Smile

Thanks, Ken

1. Jump link to SA Forum from Expiring Sweeps now working!  Smile

However, the Jump link from several other places gives the error message. I just tried to go from the listing of My Sweeps and Jump to SA Forum, and I again received the error message...

Here are four additional places where I get the error message trying to use the Jump link to the SA Forum:
My Sweepstakes
Member Sweepstakes
Sweeps Search (I searched for Red Baron then tried to return to the SA Forum from the search results page)
Referral and Vote Requests

Here is the message:
Not Found
The requested URL /post/login.php was not found on this server.

Apache/1.3.34 Server at www.sweepsadvantage.com Port 80



2. RE Expiring Sweeps - Sept. 30- maybe this is not limited to dial-up users. I have cable, (Road Runner), and still can't get the whole list, only one category at a time.

OK, these jump to links are all fixed. The other fix is going to take a little more time becuse I need to add some code to the total list expiring section so it breaks the listings up.

Thank You,

Thank you!

Glad they work now, jumping is quicker than finding another way to get the forum.  Smile

Admin has reported that he is working on the problem and it is not a quick fix.  For now, please open month end sweeps one category at a time.  Thanks for you understanding and patience.   Smile
