    Had enough - bowing out of entering sweeps after 6 years

    (actually, it's been 6 years - couldn't edit the title) I had a good run but the past few years have seen sweepstakes I want to enter decline by about 70%. Here are my criteria for NOT entering a sweepstakes: ... sweeps prize worth less than $100 ... cannot be a prize I already own or have no...

    Rant: Anyone else noticed the quality and quantity of sweepstakes is going down?

    I've been noticing this trend for almost 2 years. I've noticed that Pinterest sweepstakes are practically non-existent, that Facebook sweepstakes have taken a big hit and that Twitter sweepstakes (to me - just IMHO!) have devolved into massive time-wasting Twitter parties that I refuse to enter...

    Any change of creating a new Instagram category?

    Just asking - I don't use Instagram and never will, but I keep running across them, sometimes in different existing categories. Just as you created a Pinterest, Twitter and Facebook categories I think it would be helpful. Thank you :-)

    ReCaptcha changeD to only one short easy-to-read word???

    Oh PLEASE let this be permanent!!!The captchas from the ReCaptcha company that I have entered today have all been short, easy to read and so far ALL of them have been exactly 5 characters.

    The following link is to a sweepstakes that requires you to watch at least one video IN FULL before the sweepstakes form pops up and you can enter your information. The problem is that it is a DAILY sweeps - why on earth would I watch the same video every day...

    Tip: What to do when your Roboform Toolbar is missing on a sweeps form

    I run into this problem from time to time. When you click on a sweepstake link to open the entry form, it opens in a new window without ANY toolbars displaying, including Roboform, in an apparent attempt to force you to manually enter the data, or at least cut-n-paste. When this happens to you...

    Daily Facebook Sweeps - has there been a legal change of some kind???

    When I bring up my daily Facebook sweeps, all of which I have already 'liked' the sponsor of, I am getting the following message: Skip or Click Like above then [CONTINUE] The CONTINUE is actually a button you can press. This has never happened in the past until a few days ago, and I'm...

    How do Twitter parties work?

    I tried a few of these and, in all honesty, I found them to be relatively pointless exercises. I'm glad they offer prizes and happy that people are winning them, and it would seem that your odds of winning a prize is far greater than in your typical instant win sweeps, but for me the constant...

    WARNING! I suspect new release 15 of Firefox messes up Roboform

    Just today I installed Firefox 15 and immediately began experiencing weird problems with filling sweep forms with Roboform (PRO, Version 7.6.3). Even with RF enabled, it wouldn't fill half the forms it had done so for before, and often it wouldn't display the drop-down list for Facebook sweeps...

    WARNING! ReCaptcha has changed their validation!

    Last year I posted about a shortcut for entering the company ReCaptcha's captchas - they're always 2 terms, and you only had to find the wavy, italicized or otherwise distinguished term and enter that one, and you also could leave off the last character. Well, today it changed - after further...

    Facebook Sweeps Question: Dumb but I'm asking anyway!

    When you enter some Facebook sweepstakes and submit the form, you'll see a pop-up titled "Post to Your Wall", with option to Share or Cancel.
