ALL Rafflecopters are clearing entries today

Just done a few Rafflecopter entries -- then refreshed the page and the Rafflecopter reloaded and cleared ALL the entries I just made.

Tried several different comps and they all the same --- so not much point doing the Rafflecopter entries today until the problem is sorted

    Yes,

    Some have malfunctioned. Some are saying you have already tweeted when you haven't & some are resetting them self back to 0 entries.

    It will be interesting to see what the bloggers do, I am unsure if our entries have been recorded even though the RC is saying no

    A lot of problems with rafflecopters recently, even if the rafflecopter isn't showing your entries they will be on the spreadsheet, but it doesn't help you remember what you've done, I had a whole raft of entries apparently vanish a while back and never return, I assume they were on the spreadsheet, but I'm only doing closing rafflecopters and one time only at the moment.

    I usually enter my own rafflecopters a couple of times to check it's working, then I delete my entries - I'm certainly not going to win, last time I did this it seemed to delete my entries from other rafflecopters too. Won't be doing that again. If I win I will disqualify myself lol

    Do you perhaps wish to conduct an experiment?

    If you are currently running any Rafflecopters which have a daily tweet entry, post the link and then I will participate. Then you can tell us if

    1: The daily tweet entry is recorded, and
    2: If I abuse this malfunction and claim to tweet more than once, are they all recorded.

    I can't post a link to my own comp here. It's not allowed.

    I'm still entering & listing the RC comps & keeping my fingers crossed they are being received

    Rafflecopter has been a pain in the neck many times but this is a total fail.

    Some blogs have all ready changed to Gleam Widgets but someone said they are a lot harder to figure out how to run one

    You are not allowed to post it as a competition, but it should be fine to post a link in this thread, as its relevant to the topic, and will help clear things up.

    p.s. If you are not comfortable posting it in the thread, you can PM it to me, and we can post the results here.

    It would still be breaking the rules CrackEdd to list it on the forum
