    I made a bit of an embarrasing blooper with Skinny Cow last time they did one of these prize a day things, I entered my email etc, pressed submit and then thought that had automatically entered me into the draw that I had clicked on. It was only when I did different competitions on the site afterwards that I realised that you got a confirmation pop up.

    I had done the whole months worth (of ones I wanted to enter) but hadn't actually entered a single draw, I was only logged in :o:o :rotfl: :rotfl: I remember writing about it on a thread and someone else admitted to doing exactly the same!! :D

    So just incase anyone makes the same error as me :rolleyes: .... the first box is for you to log in and does NOT enter you, click again and you will receive a confirmation saying "thanks for your entry!"

    Hope that helps any of you that don't get a confirmation and don't know why!!!
  • the accessible version worked right away, got the confirmation email right away!!

    I always found the Skinny Cow website terribly slow to load or actually do anything....until today!
    I found the accessible version....there's a link at the bottom of the page and it loads wonderfully!
    Most people probably already know this :o but I hope this helps someone :)

    Think this has helped quite a few of us, all reporting success at last, cheers.
    One thing I've been pondering on tho'... How on earth did you discover this clever trick?

  • I registered through the 'accessible' version of the website as the java one wouldn't work for me. I then entered the competition on the java version. Soon got my email through to validate my account.

    Thanks OP! :p

    My problem is slightly different - I always use a false dob when entering competitions, and I must have entered this one differently to all the others.

    Ah the perils of telling little white lies!
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Yay just used the accessible version and got m email confirmation straight away. Thanks Grannybiker :D

    Amsquared - click the 'daily prize' link in the menu banner at the top rather than the 'click to win' button. You should get a confirmation then :)
