Hi,

We are still working on this change. It ended up being a little deeper that first thought.
We also have to make sure that we don't sacrifice performance with any changes.

Hang in there! 

Hi,

Just an update. It is taking much longer than expected to do the My Sweepstakes custom categories change. In the meantime we have been making some other smaller changes. You will notice a new easier to use tabbed search box on most of the SA pages. There was also a forum software upgrade to the most recent version. There have also been several bug fixes. The most recent being an email reminders fix.

We'll try to do a better job at setting expectations going forward and we appreciate your patience.

I see what you mean. It only seems to happen on the main page search box. The smaller search box that appears in the new section and in the categories does not seem to have this short delay. I'll check it out. Thanks for the heads up. 

This has been completed. 

Thoughts of adding a similar one to same place.

Giveaways?

Some people post things for free, typically codes for say 48 Hour XBox or something else.

Sometimes I'm not sure if some of the things people post are meant to be given away for free or not as you can't always tell from text.

Cool fixes. Thanks.

If you search for the letters ARV you will get all the sweepstakes that list the value in the description or you can use this link below:

An autosave would require the page to reload every x minutes or so. I think some members might consider that a nuisance. As for the check all or uncheck all you can do this with your keyboard. Press ( Alt + ) to check all and (Alt - ) to uncheck all.  I can look into putting some javascript on the page that would do this also, but the keyboard combo should get you going with that for the time being!

An update on this features list: We are having a difficult time with the custom my sweepstakes categories. I may have to consult with someone to get this completed. We have also had some bugs along the way that we needed to fix. Big on existing features need to take priority over any new features. 

When you get an error from using the save can you write down that error and the time that is occured and send it over? Thank You.

I've tried the alt +, but it won't save them when I hit save.  That is why I was wondering if there is another way.  Sorry, I didn't realize about the page refresh thing.

I'd be happy to write down the error code for you when it happens.  It's not too often, so as soon as it happens, I'll make sure to get it to you.   

Thanks for the quick input.

Wolfie thinks Johnny is a computer Geek!     You and Ken speak a foreign language to me.

Hey, I have another idea.     I was wondering, if somewhere down the road we could figure out a way to keep a personal winners list.  Maybe have a form for contest, prize won, year won and ARV.  I like to keep track, but would probably do better if it was all here.  Nothing that has to happen, just something that would be fun to have.

Thanks for considering.

Above all, I think creating inducements for site members to add sweeps would benefit the site more than anythingl. Also, the procedure to do so could be streamlined, as well as a way for them  to track what they added. The Add A Sweep form seems geared toward site owners, although it is very easy to use.

Of course, this is less technical in nature and more of a content thing.

Hi Folks,

Just wanted to update you on SA Website updates. We had to put some of these bigger projects on hold due to the expense of needing some additional development help. We fully intend on getting all this done and we appreciate your patience and understanding in advance.
