oooh announce it to be open at 6pm, open at 6:04pm-ish oof. Was fun trying though haha

But.. I think those 2 mods at the top should have their entries revoked! That was indeed cheating since it wasn't open yet...

Well thats annoying - looks like the entries are there but here in little old NZ, despite constant refreshing I never saw the button go open.

When submitting for the raffle, I've clicked "Submit Reply" but I kept getting a "Sorry! This thread is closed!" page. I kept trying and then it said that all entries were submitted. Did I already enter then or did I miss out? It also kept saying closed 5 minutes after 11:00 PM/2100 UTC which is 7:00 PM/1900 for me.

Uh Oh, I see two entrants on a closed thread. And both entrants are moderators.........
Yep, I refreshed the page exactly at the time, and it still said locked, and had the two entries.

Have just reloaded and it is now displaying 50 entrants (and closed). I think the mods need to have are rethink about this type of comp in the future...

It certainly was a frustrating experience with only one and then two posts while staying closed to me getting a post in.
Certainly makes me think I will not bother trying next month.

It does kind off suck, it seemed to open around 7:05; which means I was mashing the F5 key for five minutes straight.

Never opened ? But there is only 2 entries ? Both are Moderators !!!!
That was what I saw, kept refreshing and reopening and eventually got a "post a reply" window (three minutes or so after it was due to open) but by the time I posted all the tickets were taken.

I'm assuming the software was swamped by responses, well at least I've saved the accountant the $400 import duty by not having the potential to win....

Good luck to those who did enter, congratulations to the eventual winner, and I look forward to seeing the images.....
