I saved using the "backup" on OLS for the first time, then I noticed it wasn't working...that's the only thing that I have done different lately. Not sure if that ha anything to do with it. It's finicky now on the ones it picks and chooses to save, but it always is on my page one of the dailies.

I started having this trouble when I would delete temp internet files. Wouldn't work after that for a bit, & then would work again. Comes & goes still. Why are we not getting messages back about the problem? I have pm'd Brent, no response. When you send a support message, you can only have a quick little message or it won't go through. Why do we have to pay the $30 if the site can't get maintained correctly? Not like it's happening to just one person here & there. And it comes & goes. I am going to ask for some refund if it doesn't stop. The $30 isn't just for the sweepstakes, but for the whole thing to work & get the support you are paying for. Once or twice, not a problem, but to continue & more & more people are having same problem - then fix it. You can't take the money & run, or can you?

Thumbs down Frustrating
Sometimes it saves; other times, it doesn't save. Just hope I have disqualified myself from any sweepstakes because of this. I sure don't know why it hasn't been fixed or why people who have emailed the OLS staff haven't had the courtesy of a response.

Deleting temp internet files tends to stomp all over your cookies, too. I would expect that you would have to log back in to OLS after doing that, above and beyond whether the system manages to keep a short term memory of what you've done recently. And yes, it IS perfectly possible to "take the money and run" -- but not likely. Particularly with the economy showing dim faint signs of recovery ("the sun will come up, tomorrow...") and of consumers starting to have a bit more discretionary attention span to spend on looking for and productively responding to product promotions... Bailing out NOW would be criminally stupid, let's just say...

I'm now having the same problem. It's been going on for about the last two or three weeks. I have not changed anything, upgraded or deleted anything on my computer, and not doing anything differently than I've always done. Some days it saves to MySweeps, some days it doesn't. It's really frusterating.

It's not lighting up when I go on forums that I even clicked on it, it usually turns red, The site is so slow since last week, takes a long time for the next page to come up, it took forever to post this note. I don't know what happened last week when I couldn't get on for over 2 days, but I wish they would fix it. This is like having the old call up internet. They probably are doing something, we just don't know it.

I know you pay OLS to save your sweeps, but considering that feature seems to be hit or miss for some of you. Have you thought about saving your sweeps elsewhere? (Roboform pro, or bookmarks, etc)? Until it gets fixed, if you save all of them to something like bookmarks, then you dont have to worry about duplicate entries.

Sorry I cant help with the actual problem, just trying to think of a temporary way you can save your sweeps until its fixed so you dont DQ yourself or miss out on any sweeps.

A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why.

Is anyone that works here actually reading this so they can fix it once & for all? Hasn't been working again since Feb 4th. That was the last save that worked.
