I try to be open to change and understand that it takes awhile to get used to new things. However, the new format is hard to read. If anything I wish you had made a separate category for rafflecopters. I refuse to enter those but most of the time can't tell that is what they are until I have clicked on the link. I can't tell with this new format when one category ends and another begins. Also, as I don't get to enter the new contests everyday I had to go back and look at each day to see if I had entered those yet. Used to the dates changed color and I could tell. There is no time on the entry dates so on the 24 hour entries you can't tell when you last entered. Everything is too spread out. Do you not have to save your entries any more? I am sorry. Wish someone had asked me before they changed everything what really needed to be changed. I was totally happy for the most part with the way it was.
 
My Sweeps not working right in new format Some of my daily sweeps are being dup

Some of my daily sweeps are being duplicated on later pages and apparently taking the place of other sweeps that should be on that page, because I have the same amount of sweeps as before, but dups of about 10 or 12 of the same ones. It happened on the first day of the change, then 2nd day was ok, then 3rd day it did it again. Anyone have this prob also?
 
I wish the comments section in each sweeps was in better order...all the dates are all mixed up and it's harder to read the last post unless you scroll up and down and check the dates.I wish SA could have kept that part the same.

I logged into SA & checked comments on a few IW's - looks like it's oldest to newest? Actually better IMO - many times I've had to re-post because people wouldn't read previous comments, maybe now they will!

I want EVERYONE to UNDERSTAND that every page on SA was re-done regardless of whether it worked or not because
every page had issues in the code that could have been a server security issue. Which means if we didn't do this
we could have had a real big problem where the site was down for days.

In this case you are right. It should be sorted by date and it isn't. We'll fix this.

Also, if these problems are too much to cope with while we are fixing them try upgrading to Plus as it's still using
the old format. Sweepstakes Plus - Largest Premium Online Sweepstakes and Contest Directory

I just wanted to say that at first I too was wondering why the change but I can understand the needs for updates due to security. The first day of the change I didn't have time to explore the new site and get use to the new format.
Today,i sat down and took my time. I was able to find my usual daily sweeps under the right category. I even checked to make sure my new daily entry's were saved and they were. So while change is difficult I just wanted to let you know that not everyone hates the format. Thank you for all that you do here at SA - the best sweeps site ever.

Yes, I am still having this problem and have not seen it addressed. I have at least 20 duplicate sweeps in My Sweeps and have the same number of pages as before so I'm sure I'm missing some, but I don't know what. I tried deleting one of the duplicates but both disappear.
 
Trouble with new format

Is anyone else having trouble with the same sweeps being repeated on more than one page, i.e. on my daily sweeps, 4 sweeps on page 2 are repeated on page 4. Of course, if I try to enter them again on page 4 I get the message "you can't enter this sweeps more than once daily."

The comments order and my sweepstakes notes colors are the only remaining bugs. They should hopefully be fixed today.

Please watch this video for help on navigating the new site: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1ixrNgLx4s

Anyone else who posts unhelpful comments like "change it back" will be banned from the forum. We've have
been making the changes that members requested and don't have time for that.

Clearing my cookies and rebooting helped. Sweepstakes I have not been entering all week have re-appeared! Thanks.
