Since it's a holiday weekend, probably won't get fixed until next week.

If the web designer does it properly, it shouldn't require multiple attempts to enter. Frustrating. Hopefully they'll get it sorted next week.
BTW - since you have entered, let us know if the daily log-in works or it bounces that too.
PS - Thanks to FrenchieFlyer for posting this. If by chance I ever can enter & win, I think the $$ will be for airfare vs. road trip
Cheers.

Yup, daily check-in worked fine. I clicked on the link and the form came up already filled in.

The fact that it only wipes out the password said to me this is a bit of a glitch. The form comes up properly; it just zeroes out the passwords when I click on submit, even though the one I submitted said it was 100%. The other data (name/address, etc) I've entered remains.
Just out of curiosity - why do you think it took you a few tries before you finally got it to work? What problem(s)/error code did you encounter when it didn't accept your entry the first or second time, as you mentioned it took you a few tries.
I've give it a try later in the week to see if anything's changed, but if not, life's too short & I'll move on & leave it to those who did get it to work.
Cheers.

I don't remember getting an error code. The form just wouldn't submit and the password line went blank again. I refreshed, manually typed in everything all over again, and eventually it went through.

A well-programmed sweeps shouldn't force someone to submit a form multiple times in hopes that it will 'eventually go through'.
Time to move on to a dif sweeps, at least for me. For those who have been successful in entering, good luck!
Cheers.

I have no idea what password I used so I just created another entry from scratch. There isn't a button to click when you need a password reminder as far as I can tell.

Just tried entering this one again. Still the same problem for me, so I'm moving on.
Good luck to the FTers who got their entries to go through!
Cheers.
