Hello,

For the past few weeks we have been working on some new tools that will help
speed up sweepstakes entry. To address this you will see a new menu option
in category pages, search results, expiring sweepstakes, my sweepstakes, etc.

The menu option is called "Advanced Options" . If you click this link you will
get a drop down menu.

The first few menu options called SweepsPop will work together and enable
SA members to quickly launch all the sweepstakes on a page in a new window/tab
or allow you to select individual sweepstakes to "Pop" open.

This is how SweepsPop works.

1. Click the Advanced Options link.

2. Click "Enable SweepsPop Boxes" .
( This will add a check box on the current page for each sweepstakes listed on the page ) .

3. Click "Check all SweepsPop" .
( This will check off all the SweepsPop boxes on the page)

[glow=red,2,300]* This next step is only to be used if your computer is able to handle multiple windows open at the same time. This may slow older systems down or possible make your web browser unresponsive. Please use at your own risk. [/glow]

4. Click "Launch SweepsPop" .
( This will open every sweepstakes that you have checked off in a new window or in a new tab if you
use the Tabs feature in the latest version of Internet Explorer or Firefox ) .

Additional SweepsPop Options

1. Uncheck all SweepsPop - This will uncheck all the SweepsPop check boxes on the current page.
2. Disable SweepsPop - Will make the SweepsPop functionality disabled or disappear for the current page.


New SweepsCheck Features

On the Advanced Options menu you will find (2) new SweepsCheck features.

1. Check all SweepsCheck - This option will check off every SweepsCheck box on the current page.
2. Uncheck all SweepsCheck - This option will uncheck every SweepsCheck box on the current page.

* These options can become particularly useful for daily entry sweepstakes.

We hope you like the new features. By the Way... they are 100% Free as always!

Can't wait to try them out. Thanks for all your hard work. We all appreciate it very much.

I know you don't want to hear this, but I didn't receive any of my reminders today. It's been a while since I had this problem. Just for info. I'm always tempted to stop using this feature, but it is so convenient.

TY - can't wait to check it out.

If you have a Yahoo email account, Yahoo was incorrectly blocking our email today> I already requested they remove the block. Usually takes 24-48 hours.
 
Re: New - Advanced Options Feature

I tried it out. :sunny: Seems to work okay. I can see how it could be useful to open up several pages at once, but if I tried it with my dial-up and this dino-computer I'm temporarily using I would be waiting all night for those buggers to load!

I do LOVE the "check/uncheck" feature for the "Sweeps Check" thing. The only thing I would change is to make it "Sticky", ie: when you use it, it automatically makes the page renew with that reflected. Right now it doesn't work that way.

In my case, when I was goofing with it, I accidently hit "check all" when I didn't mean to. So I hit "uncheck all". Yet when I hit "Save my Sweeps" it reloaded with everything checked. Bummer. So I had to re-"uncheck" and "save" again ... THEN it came out right.

It has always done this, but I usually take the extra time to work around it. But if I lose my dial-up connection and if I forgot to do that I end up with a real mess that I then have to work with. :error:

Awesome. It works great for me. :sunny:

Thank You!

Glad everyone is liking the new features. We have yet another option that I have in the works but I am researching to make sure it is feasable. We also have several bug fixes in the queue.

For the comment above.. I have been tryng to figure out what you mean. I invisioned that the new check/uncheck all options for SweepsCheck would be used on the daily sweepstakes or instant daily sweepstakes pages. I could not think of a reason why you would want them auto checked. The default is uncheck for a new sweepstakes. If you could clarify that would be good. Thank You.
 
Re: New - Advanced Options Feature

I love this feature. When I tried it this morning, it only would open the first sweeps on the list. Am I doing something wrong with it? They were all enabled, and all checked. But only the first on each page would open. Thanks!
 
Re: New - Advanced Options Feature

:laughing: next time I need to remember to get the codes before I use sweepspop.

Lisa I had that problem until I added sweepstakesadvantage to tabs. I don't know if you know how to do that. Also I had to allow popups. I hope that helped you.
 
Re: New - Advanced Options Feature

Now that I got firefox working SweepsPop is great! Love it! Saves a lot of time...

Ken, I will get back to you on that via a PM in the next couple days. I don't want to 'kidnap' this thread for that. Thanks.

120 dailies in under 30 minutes. I think I'm happy! Maybe, now, I will win something.

Are you working in firefox or internet explorer? You need to make sure to enable the tabs options. Someone else will have to tell you how...because I'm not sure, but I know that is probably what the probably what the problem is. I didn't have it in IE and I could only get the very first one to open, but when I got firefox operational and I had tabs working then it would open them right up!
 
Re: New - Advanced Options Feature

Another note, while I am thinking of it...if you get to a point on your dailies or one time entries where the sweepspop boxes disappear then go ahead and enter those and then go back and get the rest. I think you must run out of tabs or something. I usually have to stop around 40 or so and enter those and then go back and enter the next set. It is SO wonderful though!!
 
Re: New - Advanced Options Feature

I use IE. You have to allow popups from SA and all will be good! :sunny:
