Hi saraclare1,

This is hard to answer without more details.

Here are a few things I can think of ~

~~Occasionally, a sweeps will say that it does not accept certain emails, like hotmail or yahoo, for example. This is an exception, and not the usual case.

~~Did you double check your email address? If you are using a form filler, or copying and pasting, make sure you don't have anything like an extra space or extra "."


Hopefully other people will add their ideas and you will figure it out.

Don't know if this is helpful, but if it only happened in a few cases, you could take a look at the rules for those sweeps/contests, and see if they mention any email restrictions.

Interesting. Using IE, without autofill, I completed one of the entries with no problem.

Glad you have a partial solution.

Sometimes, when you have a problem using autofill,  you can try using autofill, then tabbing through the entry form anyway.

saraclare1 - I've found that when I post I'm having a problem to the comments under a sweeps that THEN others will post they too have problems, or they did, and how they resolved it, so try posting there too.

As to issues with sweeps forms, there are many reasons for them:

It *could* be that you have a popup blocker that blocks it, or Maybe you should update?
