Link keeps refreshing for me too. Trying on a Mac, in Chrome, in the UK.

Let me know if there’s a fix!

We are always out of all Contest …

Same here, using chrome on a Surface Pro. Only tried the UK link.

Link keeps refreshing for me too, I’m on Google Chrome 58 (stable) on Linux (debian variant). Tried from this site too and just keeps refreshing.

Yep the link is just refreshing constantly. Tried on Chrome on my Android phone and on my Chromebook.

@JuanCh I’m using Chrome on an HP Pavilion. I’ve reopened the browser without success, email link still reloading, and I’ve tried the one in the article, which is doing the same.


Definitely having issues in the UK, Chrome on a Mac

Refreshing for me too on my Toshiba laptop, both through the email link and this article.

Using a Chromebook Pixel on beta channel & the link (e-mail and here) is a stuck refresh loop in both normal and incognito mode. Also on my Nexus 6.

Hi @Samcat , @JamesLaneMe @rosiedoes @DurhamLad @AirCooledCafe

Thanks a lot for your feedback, we are looking into this and we will update on this thread when we have a solution. Thanks

Using Edge on Windows 10 and the page for the UK keeps refreshing. Can’t enter the contest =(

Hopefully, this will mean fewer people enter.

Same here UK page keeps refreshing in android chrome.

Same for me - Google Chrome Version 58.0.3029.110 (64-bit) on Win10. Same behaviour in IE Edge.

Same issue on chromebook and samsung phone page reloading itself.

Does this link work for the UK contest?
