Just so you know, the link in the email is stuck on repeated refresh, and is unusable.

Hi @rosiedoes, thanks for reaching out. We tested the link and it is working fine for us. Can you please check with the link on this post? What device are you using to check the link? Thanks!

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

@JuanCh Of course, always only for 1st world countries. But great news.

Level 7

Yep, same issue here, page infinitely loops and unusable on both Chrome and Edge desktop browsers for the UK link.

I am also having the issue.  The page continuously refreshes so I can't use it!!

Level 4
For Mac users, Safari works, so switch browsers and do it that way. Am now registered. Good luck.
Level 1

thought i'd clicked on a malware link!!! I suggest testing this first next time

 

Level 3

continually refreshing on chromebook pixel with chrome, pixel C with chrome and android with chrome. Might have been an idea to rest the page first. Suggest emailing again when there is a useable link!

Level 3

I'm using a Google Pixel XL with Chrome and the link is looping for me too...

Level 3

UK link in refresh link but also flashes the message "This contest has concluded..." Before refresh.

In case that helps those working on the issue.

Level 8

Good luck to everyone 🙂 

It's okay with me to let Italy be a Nordic country, if we can get just a bit of the same temperature here in Denmark, as you have in Italy 🙂

@LucioV

Level 8

Page is still continually refreshing, on Chrome on a PC, on Edge, IE doesnt work at all with Google Sites, and Chrome on my Android again doesnt work.

Level 3

Hi,

i would like to know for the Local Guides Photo Competition  does the phones have to be taken at the country you live in,

i live in the uk but have many photos from around the world, i like to contribute towards the competition, does it count.

Thank you 

 

Level 5
Thanks @Psamuwry that Safari tip worked; duly registered!
Sorry @MoritzT the shorter URL has no effect; registration page constantly refreshes.
So this is a Chrome browser issue then.
 
Level 8

Thato awesome! Best of luck to all the locall guides entering! 🙂 

Well, I'd enter but both my laptop (using firefox and edge) and my android mobile just throw up refresh loops. Tried both through the email and the links on this page.

 

(edit to add:) When you use a refresh blocker it works perfectly fine

Level 6

To fix refresh loop in Chrome install "Auto Refresh Blocker" extension. It helped me. Good luck.

Level 7

Also unable to enter 😞

Level 8

auto refresher didnt work on that page either
