Cannot open new contests

Post by marie meijer »

Contests opened fine this morning but not in the afternoon or evening. Perhaps overloaded with many members trying to play new contests at the same time? I tried logging out and back in several times. Blank blue would show up for each contest and quickly revert to the flag background. Any one else having this problem? Any suggestions? Perhaps it's for the BEST! T Y! (group challenges and forum are accessible)

Just read this message and solved my wife's problem.  When I bought her a tablet for her birthday last year and read the reviews the major complaint was the browser.  Several people said Dolphin had cured the problem, but it made no difference on my wife's tablet.  Pages were taking forever to load, if ever.  I ttried a couple of other browsers but nothing worked.Then I signed up for a free month of NetFlix on my PlayStation.  I had noticed that NetFlix was already installed on the tablet so I decided to try it.  You could have knocked me over with a feather when the streaming video ran perfectly.  I had always figured the browser was hogging all the memory, but when the videos worked I knew that the tablet should have been able to work on the internet, I just needed to find the right browser.My daughter recommended that I try Safari, so I tried to get it at the Amazon App Store but Safari didn't show up in the search results.  Opera Mobile did though.Downloaded it, went to the contests on this site and it worked perfectly.  I told my wife I had take care of the problem.  However, when she tried it the next day, it ran other sites okay but VideoPoker.com was as bad as before.I decided to report the problem on this forum and while I was scrolling through the topics I saw your answer: problem solved.  Kudos Webman.

My bad Webman.  I think I have it figured out: multiple accounts on the tablet were causing Opera Link to be turned off every time either one of us (I was also unable to play the contest after the first time) tried to play.
