I've tried the alt +, but it won't save them when I hit save. That is why I was wondering if there is another way. Sorry, I didn't realize about the page refresh thing.

I'd be happy to write down the error code for you when it happens. It's not too often, so as soon as it happens, I'll make sure to get it to you. :)

Thanks for the quick input.
 
I see what you mean about the check all. For some reason it does not generate the same result as the mouse click and does not let you save. I'm pretty sure I can re-use the select all funtion from the expired my sweepstakes page and get an option going that can be used to check all for saving. Back to the drawing board. Right.. the Alt+/- is just a Roboform thing. Should have mentioned that. :whistle:

I see your point LIDARKSIDE , but when we try to do a change that benefits very few members, it becomes a "make work" type of situation, and we are all trying to keep up with all the new sweeps and admin works diligently on perfecting this site.

When I meet people and tell them about sweeping, the first thing I tell them is to plan on spending a LOT of time at first going through each category they are interested in so they don't miss good sweeps.

With the SweepsCheck (AWESOME tool btw) it makes it so easy to quickly go through a category and catch any you may have missed.

I see on the home page there is also a link to Browse Sweepstakes By Prize - I don't see Wedding as a search term, so I'll mention it to Ken and perhaps that will help?

How about having a user-settable set of prizes/strings show up in their pulldown?

For instance, Wii isn't in the list either. Something I previously was constantly looking for, though no longer am. Zune also isn't there, though I have no interest in that. Just a string I would think some folks would want. Hey, how about Simpsons... :)

This actually brings me to the next suggestion. How about the whole list being user settable, with you just suggesting what the initial set is, but allowing users to REMOVE some also? I never select Canada from the list. How about allowing me to remove it?

Also, why isn't "Automobile" in alpha order? Guitar and Video, too. Pet Stuff is also off by one.

Just some ideas to help you improve the site.....
 
Wolfie thinks Johnny is a computer Geek! :headbang: You and Ken speak a foreign language to me.

Hey, I have another idea. :headbang: I was wondering, if somewhere down the road we could figure out a way to keep a personal winners list. Maybe have a form for contest, prize won, year won and ARV. I like to keep track, but would probably do better if it was all here. Nothing that has to happen, just something that would be fun to have.

Thanks for considering.
 
We'll take all of these into consideration. Just one thing to keep in mind is that we don't want to make SA too technical in operation. This could scare people away from ever using the features in the first place.

We get allot of feedback email everyday just from the features that we already have and simplicity with any new feature will be key.

thanks for the suggestions. :)
 
Above all, I think creating inducements for site members to add sweeps would benefit the site more than anythingl. Also, the procedure to do so could be streamlined, as well as a way for them to track what they added. The Add A Sweep form seems geared toward site owners, although it is very easy to use.

Of course, this is less technical in nature and more of a content thing.
 
We can probably look into rewarding contribution of sweepstakes down the road. We need to get better sponsorship for the site so that we can continue to offer the site for free handling all existing costs first. :)
 
Hi Folks,

Just wanted to update you on SA Website updates. We had to put some of these bigger projects on hold due to the expense of needing some additional development help. We fully intend on getting all this done and we appreciate your patience and understanding in advance.

3 New Categories have been added to SA. DVD, CD and Kid Sweepstakes. We will start populating these tomorrow. New My Sweepstakes Lists for these have also been created. :wave:
 
I would like the option to turn of the email messages when there is a reply to a note. Plenty of times I receive an email about a note for a sweep I'm no longer entering or don't want to follow up on and it gets annoying. Turning the spigot on and off would be nice.
 
Do you mean in the forum or the comments for each sweepstakes in the directory? Thank You

I would think the comments, as I've had times where I haven't been able to unsubscribe or I get multiple emails if I click on notify me of replies multiple times for a thread that I've replied to multiple times.
