twinkle48_2

I am so cross, entered this a week ago and heard nothing so I cleared up and threw the wrappers away, I have just had a WEM and spent an hour going through the bin but it must have been before the bin men came. The moral of this story is.......don't do the cleaning it's bad for compers!!!

sueby78

I can't enter security code in .com or co.uk. Have tried cap locks on off/ refreshing etc but no joy ggggrrrrr

purplecatlover

cant enter the security code in firefox, but it worked no probs in ie tab.

linking to daily thread so gilla can add it since its a daily, 5 entries per code over whole comp and max 5 entries per person per day.

purplecatlover

careline people dont have a clue, kept trying to insist it was my firefox settigns preventing entry in firefox and said if i disable all security and allow all cookies while i enter the comp it should work....which would be acceptable if it was just me having the problem of it refusing to accept the captcha code. since its not just me, nor even just one or two of us, im not going to try disabling all security settings and putting my computer at risk to enter, esp as i have no problem entering most other comps in firefox, including the other mcvitites ones.

watch them ahve put a bar on me winnign anything now as she wanted my name and phone number when i insisted it was a website fault at their end since i had no problem entering any other comps, including other mcvitity comps in firefox with the same settings lol

ill take penguins back of my shopping list, too much effort to have to use ie everyday when its a flash site so wont store my details to save typing out all over again lol

raggamuffin

the only way i can enter this is in IE if that helps any one
