Important The site has upgraded and you will need to re-register to enter. I have updated the entry link below. Hopefully the problems mentioned will now be resolved.

Please note: There may be some issues with registering accounts. On the log in link there is an option stating ‘No thanks, I like typing’. I suggest that if you are unable to create an account, you enter by this method until the problem is resolved.

In addition I have been made aware that some entrants are being denied access altogether. I would suggest that you contact Real People directly if this happens to you.

Anyone else having issues signing up, I don't understand the error Im getting:

"
Unable to add to mailing list.
ERROR: List [REALPeople] not found – lists must be created online before they may be used via this interface

"

crispydragonfly

MrsEmma, it seems to be a common problem.
"There may be some issues with registering accounts. On the log in link there is an option stating ‘No thanks, I like typing’. I suggest that if you are unable to create an account, you enter by this method until the problem is resolved"

I can only suggest you try that option

MrsEmma

Thank you, that worked

Getting error 404 after clicking link on first post?

Hi Comping King. I just had a look and they have changed the link to:
http://comps.realpeoplemag.co.uk/puzzle/135-47-2014

You will need to re-register too. I hope this helps and will sort out the longstanding problems.

2 - ROULETTE - £250 – PHARRELL WILLIAMS

I think you've made a mistake with this one. 'Pharell Williams' can't be the answer that's left as he's the artist 'Who sings the first line of the Children in Need single, God Only Knows'. After answering all the questions I was left with 'Kilimanjaro'.

I've PMed crispydragonfly.

Thanks Midnighter. That is correct. I had the answer marked correctly on the puzzle but was obviously suffering from Pharrellitis last week


I am so sorry to those who have already entered. OP now corrected.

The website has recently been updated and it appears that some accounts may have been deleted, mine obviously had as I was unable to log in with my email address or username but was able to register again with the same email address

crispydragonfly

Scorpioangel, the OP has the following note and the updated link

"Important The site has upgraded and you will need to re-register to enter. I have updated the entry link below. Hopefully the problems mentioned will now be resolved."

I BELIEVE (just an assumption based on problems on this site and feedback from another user on here and certain people winning multiple times) this site had a problem with people entering multiple times and so have changed to try to prevent that and stop the cheating. If you look at previous winners on the old site there were a couple of people who won nearly every week - which given the number of people that enter competitions is almost (but not quite for the pedantic ones) impossible.

Hopefully the rest of us will have a chance to win now with our one entry (following the rules of the competition). The full rules have also changed now so they can exclude some people from entering. Some people SHOULD in my opinion be denied access.

Good luck to all who play fair and follow the rules
