SA is easy to navigate once you get use to the forum and how things work. After you get to the main forum page you will see a stack of topics at the very top of the page. These will take you to any place, just about, that you could want to go.
Home ~ will take you to the main login and logout page. You can also see the sweeps there by entry frequency ~ you can access the sweeps from there if you would like to. You can also access them from the top of the page just like on the forum.
Going back to the forum pages and the tops of the pages ~ you then will see New Sweepstakes after Home. The New Sweepstakes forum is for sweeps that have been added just that day. Most of the time all sweeps are added by 2:00. This is where I go daily to entry my one time entries. Since you can only enter them once ~ I enter it and hope for the best. Anything new will be New Sweepstakes.
Next is Expiring Soon ~ sweeps that are ending soon. A lot of people like to enter sweeps right at the last minute and make a habit of getting in just one more entry. It works out really well for several of our members.
Expired Archive ~ those gone but not forgotten sweeps!! Look here for prize info ~ as well as using the box down under the top part of the page where it says Search Sweepstakes. Search Sweepstakes can hunt for key words if you trying to search for a prize!
Online Lottery ~ daily free lottery plays.
My sweeps ~ this is one of the best features of this site. All you have to do is figure out which sweeps you want to save off of a pages listing. Then you click "add to my sweeps" and click save at the bottom of the page. When your sweeps expires it will automatically pop up and tell you so you can remove the ones that did expire.
Forum ~ goes to the forum of course You need to learn how to come and join the conversations. We have a bunch of fun. Just click a main thread and then click the little thread of your choice. You can either post your on thoughts and comments, or ask question! When you click onto a topic you will see two ovals at the top of the post ~ one says "New Topic" and the other says "Post Reply". If you want to ask a question click new question and start a new topic. Or if you would like to add to the current topics click the "Post Reply" and talk your heart out to us!! We like for people to join our topics and chats! You will find out that this is a very friendly site!!
I will touch on a couple of other things quickly ~ Free email ~ a wonderful idea for a sweeper!! You might want to start a new email address just for sweeping. That way you don't have a bunch of junk mail in your regular inbox. SA offers you an email opinion at the top of the page also!
You also have the Daily entry~ weekly entry ~ monthly entry ~ one time entry and instant win links on the top of the page. These links will take you to all entries in that catagory. You can pick and chose your sweeps and save whatever you like!
The Green People ~ On the forum page down at the very bottom is a list of people that are on SA right then. You will notice the "Green" people, they are moderators. If you have ANY problems feel free to contact any of these people to ask a question. If they can't answer it they will find someone who can!! You can click there name down at the bottom of the forum and it will bring up a page where you can PM (personal message) them. You will have to type a subject in the subject line, and then write your question or comment in the box and then press submit. You can also PM from a members post at the bottom of the post is also a oval with PM on it!! You can PM any member, not only the green people!
I hope this helps answer some of your questions! If you have any more feel free to post in the newbies question sections!!
