Amah, the speed problem will be addressed as Randy indicated in the apology, so accessing the various pages will be easier/faster in the future.

But - FT is not responsible for the content/posts on any of the forums, so it's up to you - not them - to bookmark the sweeps listed in that forum & figure out close dates, etc. Not sure what ISP you use, but w/ AOL for example you can put it in 'favorites'.

Also, wish you the best on hopes of winning something for your 50th anniversary! If that's your goal, you might wish to subscribe to some sweepstakes newsletters etc rather than just rely on FT.

When search is operational again, some sweepstakes places are mentioned in one of the threads or you can just pull up for the last few months & try to find it there. Or you can just post a thread asking folk to let you know what they subscribe to using the problems with search as the reason. Cheers.
