    I believe it is a choice.
  • I can't get off the page that says "Refresh this page when the clock hits zero" and no amount of refreshing will get me off it - ho hum. We've been here before with these types of promotion. They open up the site to a high volume of traffic with seemingly little or no thought to how it will work in practice when huge numbers try to access a site all at the same time!

    Yeah I got it to work but whether I will be lucky I don't know.

    Do you mean you managed to submit it completely or did the connection time out after you managed to fill in the form?

    You wasted your own time. No-one was holding a gun to your head demanding you try to get a freebie. Get a sense of perspective.
  • Tried on the stroke of noon. Filled in the form which appeared instantly. And then .... network timeout!

    "Could the server be experiencing high demand or a temporary failure? Try again later."
  • I wonder how many people got to fill in the details... Their servers crashed at 12:00
    Why do they do these promotions, if they can't handle the traffic???? Such a stupid idea. Waste of time.

    but why tell us 12 and not..'try closer to 1 when the website stops crashing' (even though we knew we had these prbs last time !)
