Rafflecopter Problems

Options
I've done a few rafflecopters tonight to mix things up a bit, but the last few struggled to load and then when I've reloaded the page for whatever reason it hasn't kept track of the entries I've made?

I think I'll give up for the night now, but does it happen often or just a one off?

Or should I clear my cache etc to help it along?

Thanks in advance :o

    Yes it happens more & more. When I started to enter them & list them about 7 months ago they were really reliable, but now it seems at some point in the day they start to play up.

    1, They don't load
    2, They don't connect to Twitter to tweet
    2, They don't remember you so you have to sign into them on every RC you enter

    One or more of the above happen every day.

    Some of the blogs have started to use Gleam Widgets, there are a few Gleam widget daily comps on the daily RC thread. They always work like a dream. I am hoping more blogs will start to use them.

    Personally I just "drive by" the RC comps. I also "drive by" the FB share comps.
    At any one time there are thousands of comps on this board so I just feel that it is more productive not to involve myself in comps that I do not get along with. No offence meant to anyone of course as they all add to the mix on here & seem to suit others.

    I don't always enter Rafflecopter but haven't experienced any of the problems described above and although I don't always enter them, I probably enter 3 a day on average. What maybe helps me is always having my facebook and twitter accounts logged in, in separate windows/tabs. In fact I've never had to log-in to rafflecopter again since I first set it up 6-ish months ago.

    I never have to log in to rafflecopter as I'm always logged into facebook etc already.

    I did do the few Gleam ones I was interested in before I gave up. Will try again when I have a spare moment, its just easier to do a few of the at once so you don't have to keep adding your twitter handle/facebook name etc :)
