Hello Sweepstakes Plus Members,

We have finished the development work on the Sweepstakes Plus Mobile Responsive upgrade. This upgrade will make the Plus site ( Sweepstakes Plus - Largest Premium Online Sweepstakes and Contest Directory ) Mobile
Compatible with Tablets and Phones and improve security/compatibility as the SA site is now.

*We are scheduling this switch over for the first week in January. This will give you the remaining time in 2015 to use the old format.

We also have a few new features to roll out just after this major release. We recently added Local and Instagram
Sweepstakes for Plus members and we are already seeing greater frequency in wins from these new categories.

We appreciate your loyalty and we hope to continue to improve Plus so that it gives our
members an advantage in winning to bring them more wins.
 
This Plus site Sweepstakes Plus - Largest Premium Online Sweepstakes and Contest Directory upgrade has been scheduled for next Wednesday, Jan 20 at 3:00 A.M. EST. Please Do Not post bug or error reports until we report that the upgrade is 100% finished.
The site is very similar to the SA site in look and feel with the exception of all the added features, Custom My Sweepstakes, Personal Sweepstakes, etc. Lots of work and expense has gone into it and we hope you'll like it.

Thank you
 
custom sweeps

can not access after first page-it says page can not be found when I try to get on #2 page
I am speaking of the custom instants I have 155 can only do 20
 
We are still rolling out the changes. We'll have a look at this soon.

Do not like this new format....why miss with something that worked perfectly well....I have been with you a long time, but unless you get rid of this miss I will be looking for a new sweepstakes web sit to work with.
 
The is "The Last" comment I will be making on the new format. Any further negative comments will be deleted. The new format on the Plus is the current format for the SA site that has been tested
and modified based on many member's feedback. The format is actually a whole site code change which is more secure and dependable for everyone.
The old site format and code base was actually built in 1997. We cannot continue to modify it as it is too vulnerable and costly maintain. The new format is also mobile friendly which
makes the site more accessible to all devices ( tablets, smart phones, etc ) . We'll produce a video explaining how the menu system works shortly.
 
This problem should now be fixed. Thank you

We Cannot code a site with thousands of daily users for each individual person's tastes. This is very time consuming, expensive and taxing on the servers performance. We've been literally working on this upgrade for almost a year starting with the main SA site. We are a very small home based company and some of these things that are being asked for don't even exist on the big directories like yahoo and google. We do the best we can with what we have and will consider what you are saying.

You can delete this but I am going to write this. The My Sweepstakes customized section is not what I want. I had them in the order I wanted and now they are scattered across a page. My brain doesn't work this way. How can I put them in a list form. It is already bad enough to try and read the entries for the regular entries for the sweeps which are all bunched together and don't always include how many prizes, etc. Even though I put most of mine in roboform bookmarks I still go through the list to check the dates. I didn't know this was coming. I would like to be able to put mine in list order. This are not even alphabetical. Is their a way to move the customized categories in my sweeps around? Hope you will reconsider this section for the plus customers. I would have liked to have provided feedback. Must have missed that this was coming. I hope you read this before you delete it.

A big thanks from me too - I've been exploring and navigating around - haven't come across anything weird - it is fast and I feel better knowing that updating in this way also makes things more secure. I like the way Local sweeps are now too! :cool:
 
Can you tell me where the "save sweepstakes" button is? I always clicked this after I have check marked all the sweeps I wanted to save.

Thanks

marly4,

First, select the category (custom or default).
Second, look on the bottom left. Click on "Add to My Sweepstakes" for each sweeps you want to save.

Unfortunately this is not working for me. I move to my category, and click the entered box, and it still is not showing up under my sweepstakes. What do I need to do to fix this?

I am not having a problem. Here is what I do:

1. Select category (custom or default).
2. Click on "Add to My Sweepstakes" on the bottom left, for each sweeps I want to save. (Make sure you do this for each sweeps as you enter it - it is not the same as having one Save button at the end of a page.)
3. Check Sweeps check (to show the date I looked at the sweeps - this does not save the sweeps to My Sweepstakes).

GOTCHA. So instead of just moving to the category, and then clicking 'save my sweepstakes' after I've finished adding them all, I have to move to the category, click the check box, and THEN click on add to my sweepstakes for each one? Seems like a lot of extra steps, but I know i'll get used to it soon enough. I've never had to use the 'add to my sweepstakes' button because I've always used custom categories. Ill check it out and let you know if it doesn't work.
