    Don't complain too much to the competition organisers or they might do away with the free entries completely.

    Also, it's not meant to be easy. It's difficult so people can't program a bot to do it. But i do agree with some others that it is in their financial interest to make the text entry easier than the online entry.

    Has anyone managed to enter this competition on-line today? I have tried filing in the form by typing rather than autofill but just cannot enter. Would appreciate any tips
  • Slightly too slow answering a Private Number call at 17:07. So hope it wasn't my chance.
  • That accessibility cookie only works for one or two entries. I've given up, it's easier to just do the bloody pictures.

    Yes, I've just found the same.
    I think this is explained by this note on the set cookie page:
    "Please note this redemption method is strictly rate limited, and you may need to wait some time before trying again if unusual behavior has been detected from your computer."
    Their system must think that trying verify identity for a page several times in a short period is 'normal' and could indicate a hacking.

    Very annoying!  Trying to do 8 entries on these comps takes 10 times longer than it did on the old system.
