It says I already entered?

Canid · 09-01-2018, 10:06 PM

Hi, I posted in the test thread for the August giveaway, and when I went to enter the real raffle, it gave me the error:
"You have already entered this raffle. Good luck!"

Please help?

Craig66 · 09-01-2018, 10:08 PM

Yeah I got the same thing. A message i had already entered. ??

Oh well...

Good luck to all.....

Me three...

MatKus · 09-01-2018, 10:10 PM

Same here.

Or is writing in test thread blocking me from entering raffle?

Come on, I had to wake up so early in sunday morning, when i should sleep for next few hours... and i'm not sure if i will have time to sign in later on.

I even went back to get a screen grab.

I got the same message, maybe we can get in the next one. Wonder if it has to do with the test thread, I entered to test there this afternoon.

@Adam heads up

Ditto. Seems a anyone who entered the test thread got flagged as having entered into the actual raffle. I'm
sure it will get sorted.

I did't get a chance to disable the test thread in time, so we will have to count the handful of posts there as valid entries. I have merged them with the first raffle thread. Remaining threads will be unaffected and there will be no changes to the number of entries.

Well, even though that reduces the odds of winning, i’m glad I can give that refresh button a rest!

Thank you very much Adam.

phoebus · 09-02-2018, 04:02 AM

Adam, does an entry outside (now) the first 80 prevent posting in later threads?

08amczb · 09-02-2018, 04:14 AM

Thanks Adam! This made my entry much easier.

alvaro_garcia · 09-02-2018, 04:32 AM

Same here and Adam replied fixed it by merging the test-raffle thread entries into/within the first real-raffle thread.

I woke up early this morning just to enter in the raffle and got the same message. Wrote to Adam and he fixed it.

Good luck!
