Have Duplicates/Disappearing sweeps issues?

http://www.sweepsadvantage.com/forum/questions-and-answers/76797-sweepstakes-not-always-saving.html

Help! I have been having issues for awhile with the entry date appearing to save but then not being there when I go back and look. Also, I have noticed some of my saved Instant Win Sweeps go away at times too. Just today some showed up that I last played 7/24/15. I had been entering them daily. It's like they come and go. Does anyone else have this issue and what can be done to fix it?

Some of the sweeps are repeated in the daily sweeps, early on, and then later towards the end. iIs this just me or everyone??? Some examples are: Morris Jeep, the Simply Gluten ones, the HGTV Mortgage one, and a bunch of others.

Today all my instant sweeps are rearranged and repeat among the pages..missing some,too..what happened?? I clear my computer every morning so it's not me..My dailies do the same..repeat among the pages, but if I try to remove the duplicate, it removes it completely.

sweepsadv {our admin/owner Ken} asks that you;

If the problem happens again please do the following as I have a highly technical group testing this and none of them can reproduce the problem.

While the problem page is up with duplicates using your keyboard press (Ctrl + U -> Save As)

Save the file and email it to me: [email protected]

*This will allow us to see the code behind the problem.

curmudgeon suggested a workaround tip

Do you know how to use Bookmarks?

If so, then Bookmark all of the duplicates and enter them every day in the future from Bookmarks. Put the expiration date of the sweep as part of the Bookmark description. After you've Bookmarked them, delete them from "my sweeps". Clear your cache, cookies etc., and restart your computer. If you've deleted all of the duplicates, your missing sweeps will reappear. I've done this twice and, each time, all of my missing sweeps have reappeared.

spooner gives this tip;

I have found that if you perform a sort by expiration date you do away with the duplicate problem. Has worked 100% for 2 weeks now.

I had the same problem, but it went away after deleting all of my expired sweeps.

Got DUPES/DOUBLES? Admin/site owner {Ken} says:
"There are No Duplicates in the Database. The problem is Cache somewhere either with the ISP or Your Computer. Might try using Google Chrome. We are unable to reproduce the problem
with 3 different web browsers and using the accounts that say they are experiencing it. Deleting the expired My Sweepstakes forces the cache to update on the client.
You might also try switching to Opendns.com for DNS as some ISP's use outdated DNS servers."
