Take a Break Puzzle Magazines ANSWERS DISAPPEAR

Hi,
When logged in and complete the answers on Take a Break Puzzle Magazines comps I submit them and get the message "Thanks for entering our competition". All good.

However, when I log in a few days later the same competition has no answer entered so I can re-enter the answer and submit successfully.
I assume you should only need to enter each comp once?

I do delete cookies on a regular basis so I dont know if that is the reason.

Puzzler comps seem not to have this anomaly.

Anyone know if the submitted answer is stored by Take a Break Puzzle Magazines after the first entry even though it is subsequently not shown as entered?

Thanks for any info.

  • It doesn't save your answers for these. You cannot be disqualified for for answering twice but it will only accept your first answer, so if your not sure if you've entered it is ok to do it again just in case

    hi, rules as taken from the mag/thread..

    8)
    T-A-B do not show that you have previously entered a competition (after you have exited your current session) and there is nothing that stops you from entering again.
    The terms state
    "we will accept only one entry per registered user. If more than one entry for the same issue is received, we will accept the first entry only".
    This means you will not be disqualified if you accidently enter a second time, and if you are unsure whether or not you have entered, or whether your entry has been accepted,
    it is OK to enter the comp to be certain.
    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png
