I may be wrong here, but I think there might be a problem with the display of the ScoobyDraw banners.

I had initially used Firefox to view the site today, saw the banner for the PSI3 monitor and clicked "enter".

I went back to Safari, as it's my normal browser and continued browsing/posting. I noticed that every once in a while, instead of there being a banner there was just a blank white space (alas I didn't view source and see what it was meant to be, sorry).

I may be wrong here, but I'm guessing it was trying to display the PSI3 banner but could not do so. I'd guess that to register you have entered there is a cookie and/or something serverside being saved. Thus when I'd been in FF, the cookie had be saved locally, but something server side might not have been set, hence when I go to Safari it gets a tad upset.

Now for the tricky bit. I've just seen the GlobalGathering draw has gone live and I'm guessing that's been done very recently, as you did mention another draw going live today.

Since I entered that draw in Safari I am seeing the GG and PSI3 draw banners correctly, so I'm assuming that whatever wasn't set initially due to using another browser, is now set.

 

LOL
you think too much sometimes Markus

There are no cookies, its all taken care of on the server side.

The white space might just simply have been a failed attempt to load the banner. If the server is very busy it might take a few seconds to load, or could of course fail altogether, although I would expect this to be very rare indeed.

Ok, scrub the cookie idea. Might simply be a load issue at my end.

 

We've just made some changes to the code to make it a lot more efficient, so it should load much quicker now.
