Problem with Sweeps Links
- Thread starter sweepsadv
- Start date
Hi, I don't know if this is related to the firewall problem or a change in policy but I'm getting Access Denied for Facebook and Creative sweeps. Probably others like Instagram sweeps too. I'm not a Sweeps Plus member but I thought I wasn't able to access only the local sweeps, not many others as well. If you could clarify, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
gecina, You may have already figured it out, as you posted about this also in another section of the forum---
---to clarify, in Sweepstakes Advantage and in Sweepstakes Plus, you have access to the same sweeps. The difference is that in Sweepstakes Plus, some of the categories are different. There are separate categories for Twitter, Facebook, Blog and Local Sweepstakes, for example.
As Ken has been posting, last night's bugs are being worked on and some are already fixed. Just be patient...getting there! You can check the SA Facebook page for updates.
+arrtup3, I'm sorry, I didn't figure it out. I'm just going to New Sweeps in Sweepstakes Advantage and I used to be able to click on the individual sweeps listed under Facebook and Creative but now I can't. I get the Access Denied and subscribe message. I understand that I can't access Local Sweeps but I thought all the others were not denied to non-plus members. So I'm sorry, it still doesn't make sense to me. 
This seems different from the bug that's happening today (I saw that too) but I'll be patient and see what happens.

SweepsPoP doesn't seem to be working too?
It's okay, no need to apologize. What I meant was, maybe I was giving an answer you no longer needed. One or two other people have posted the same thing about Access Denied, so I think it probably has to do with the bugs. Ken posted that the sweeps links are fixed now and "we are working on the others." Not sure exactly which "others" but hopefully they are the ones you mentioned.

I'm still getting Access Denied for facebook and creative sweeps. I used to get that with the instagram sweeps before the current bugs so it may be unrelated. But after the current bug, I have access to instagram sweeps but lost access to facebook and creative. Are they still working on it, or will they be after the weekend?
exstra, no one has been told they have to pay extra for Facebook or any sweeps. What we do know is that there are things which went wrong due to the host, and that they are being worked on.
As far as we know, things are still being worked on. Thank you for your input.

Having the same issue as others have posted, I'm getting access denied for almost all the sweeps links, especially the "new sweeps" links. Just wanted to inform you. Thanks.

I get "access denied" for facebook posts also. Thanks for posting as I thought it was my computer that had the issue...

I'm not having a problem logging on to new Facebook sweeps.

My mistake. I can log on to the list of new Facebook sweeps but the individual sweeps are access denied.
We are still fixing bugs on the SA site having to do with a forced upgrade by our hosting company. This upgrade is causing permission problems for facebook and creative categories as well as blank description problems. We are working to correct these today.
The Sweepstakes Plus site was upgraded by our hosting company late last night and we are busy fixing the remaining bugs on the Plus site today.
You may see some blanked out listings on the expiring sweepstakes page or the login/logout may appear and disappear. We are working on this.
