Me neither

Don't think I'll bother anymore...just too frustrating!!

BearsBlueGirl

I used your twitter search engine coversnail and just put my twitter name in to see how many of my tweets actually show up and of the 17 tweets I did today (which all show on my profile page) only 1 actually comes up on the search!!! This makes me wonder if there's much point doing any twitter comps if my tweets are not going thru ?? Over the past month I've RT almost 600 times...how many went thru I wonder?:o

It's all really frustrating and I may just give Twitter a miss and just stick to the "normal" mse comps.

OK, I'll stop whinging now...well done to all the winners and see you on the boards tomorrow,

night,

Blue xx

FAQ's

1. How do I enter?

A. You need to Retweet the competition message when it appears on http://twitter.com/hmunitedkingdom , you'll be given a ten minute warning beforehand, there are two methods, either:

a) click the retweet button below and to the right of the message, AND THEN CLICK YES!!!
b) Copy the message & paste it into the Whats happening box on your twitter homepage

Either method works and people have won using both.

2. I got the message "Retweeted by You and 32 others" so that means I was 33rd and have won...right???

A. No, not definitly. You might have done though. These numbers don't reflect the actual time your retweet has been logged by Twitter, you may have been around the 30th to click the button but your retweet still has to worm itself through the system and be logged. In the retweet melee it might get delayed or lost:(

3. How do I know that my Retweet has been recieved?

It looks like lots have people have retweeted but it hasn't been logged by Twitter, to check go to the Twitter search engine: http://search.twitter.com type in your Twitter username and giftcardgiveaway, if there are no results or todays entry is not on the list it hasn't been logged:(

4. What can I do if my Retweet hasn't been recieved?

A. First check why this may be:

a) Have you created your Twitter account in the last 24 hours? - If so then your Retweets won't be shown on the search as the system hasn't recognised you yet, best plan here is to copy and paste as this will be more likely to show.

b) Is your Twitter profile set to private? - You'll need to go to your Twitter homepage, click "Settings" in top right corner, and look at "Tweet Privacy" If the tick box is ticked then you won't show up in the search or be entered.

c) If none of the above applies - Bummer! You've been unlucky and your tweet is lost, it happens, Twitter is rather unreliable at the best of times. Doubly unlucky if its happened twice in a row, perhaps your best bet is to copy and paste next time - its much more likely to show up, try practising doing it quickly, you could still win, remember people are clicking the Retweet button instantly but it doesn't get logged straight away, you still have a chance!

5. Do I really have to sit all day watching my screen for the comp to start, it's sunny outside!?

A. To be safe yes....If you want somewhat of a life you could possibly sign of for SMS alerts, see here for details it'll cost you 1 text message to validate your phone but recieving them is free.

6. I hate this competition/H&M/Twitter I want to wring their puny annoying necks!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

A. To be fair its not all H&M's fault, missing retweets are a Twitter problem. They made a mistake the first day for sure and haven't acknowledged that yet but they 'seem' on track now. They've chosen an unstable medium, Twitter, to host their competition and the messages saying "you and xxx number of people" have got people upset as it seems for all the world like they've won, but these number are irrelevant really, only the time Twitter logs thats you've retweeted can be checked. But if you need a local hitman to take down these incompetant corporate monsters, then feel free to look one up

Got to be honest :eek: Over the top post somewhat?

LUCKYCOMPER_2

Has anyone had 2 DMs saying they have wonMonday and Tuesday? That is, have we an answer on whether you can win more than once? I know you can only win one gift card per day, but can you win on two days?

LUCKYCOMPER_2

I think coversnail post is extremely helpful actually, and so do a number of other MSE'ers.

I actually find it very useful and informative and answers a lot of my questions, so no I don't think it's over the top especially when you notice that over 26,000 people have looked at this thread!!

I completely agree with you - so many people have been asking questions, it's so kind that they took the time to write that post:A
