    It's not obvious that the text "Join our weekly mailing" is actually the placeholder text of a form input field, instead of just informational text. That may be what's tripping you up, Dizzie.

    And there's really nothing on the page to consistently visually identify certain text as links, as the all three colors of white, black, and grey colors are used for both links and regular text. Even interactively, sometimes hovering over a link changes the text color while at other times it doesn't.

    We have not had any issues yet across dozens of registrations. Make sure you check the waiver below the name box. It may be related to the DNS propagating today. I will talk to my tech team tomorrow.

    It sounds like you are viewing the older site as the color scheme has changed and is working well. Try again tomorrow.

    Re: New TAS Sweepstakes: Hires Music Streaming System with KEF LS50 Wireless II speakers

    What I found yesterday was two input field boxes (name and email) that did not work. Clicking on the agreement link took me to an advertisement.

    Today I do not see the contest. The top of the first page is about the Sony SA-Z1. That was there yesterday too but so was the contest announcement.

    I'm still seeing the same website as yesterday at The Absolute Sound - High-performance Audio and Music Reviews.

    I have gotten that several times but I could not enter data into the "Your Name" and "Your Email" blanks. That is why I started this thread.

    I sometimes also get what NekoAudio posted. There is no mention of the contest on that page.

    Re: New TAS Sweepstakes: Hires Music Streaming System with KEF LS50 Wireless II speakers

    The contest form is a temporary overlay?

    When I accessed the website via my cellular connection on my phone, I get the same website with the pictures I showed above, but for a split second it showed the contest entry like in the image posted by Chris. The entry form went away pretty quickly though and I have no idea how to get it back. Reloading didn't make it show up again.

    The contest overlay did not show up on my desktop computer, using multiple browsers including one that definitely wouldn't have anything cached. Or when I tried a second desktop computer that is not used for web browsing.

    The contest uses Welcome Mat technology by Sumo. It is specifically designed to go away after the first visit.

    The goal is to not annoy visitors with a constant pop-up.

    We have not had any issues with the sign-ups. We are approaching 1K sign-ups.
