What kind of comp was this,started at 11.00 and done with by 11.30..yeh gives everyone a fair chance dont it.

Don't worry. Most of the people who were playing along with the competition couldn't see the codes anyway so you probably wouldn't have won anyway

Couldn't see the Santa either, though the reindeer are visible - and I've never visited the Blog page before.

Please could the guys running the promotion comment on the lack of visibility?

Hi everyone

Santa was the toughest to find - in the blog's source code.

It's not a cache issue. I just fired up a device that I have never viewed the blog on and there is still no sign of santa

I deliberately used a separate browser installation with a verified empty cache as I wanted to avoid any caching problems. I saw no sign either, even when other claimed they were there and quoted the codes they saw.

Had the same for the reindeer. So it was not just the santa one.

Can only think that there is some transparent web caching for some people on the ISP level (thought I know not the case for me), or the MSE servers were not serving out the updated pages for all requests. Odd.

So it wasn't actually displayed on the page, it was just in the pages code?

And the mysterious reindeer that weren't there when people first visited the page when the competition opened only to magically appear later on in the competition?

Hi Everyone,

We'll be messaging the winners shortly.

For everyone wondering about the location of Santa, he was in the source code of the Team Blog as you'll see below.

Thanks for playing and Merry Christmas from everyone at MSE.

Of course, why didn't I think to look through lines of code for a competition to spot pictures.


Great comp guys....
