It's never happened to me but I took a screenshot of all my "friends" just in case. Hopefully no one changes their picture :)

The little icon between the smiley face and the envelope. Looks like a globe with a pop cap next to it.

time has resumed its shape. All is as it was before. Many such journeys are possible. Let me be your gateway.

Did you win them early on in the contest? I won the moon shoes on Sept 7.

Yep, it just happened. Tried to do a contest just now on Facebook and noticed I was logged out. I never log out, so I knew it was a bad sign. Soon as I logged back in I was told I was locked out yet again.
I thought it was going to make me do that stupid photo verification again, but it was the text verification. Luckily that was quite easy and I am back in business.

Hope everything is fine now and I don't find myself locked out yet again.

I'm not locked out but it refuses to let me view comments or like posts. No idea how to fix.

Is it just me or are blog contests taking FOREVER to load these days? I'm ready to stop entering them. My computer seems so slow AFTER entering them too. I only enter momvsboys and frugalmom...maybe a couple more. It's so annoying!!! It's like there so much crap and ads to load it takes so long especially during daytime hours. Maybe its my old mac but I feel like I'm back in the 90's and on my parents dial up.

Nah, they're websites are extremely bloated. Then they add in these huge background images for some reason that have to download and take more time.

ok, I don't know what contest triggered these emails that I have just started receiving, but I'm not impressed. In the last 3 days I have deleated over 4 or 5 emails everyday from women soliciting for on line sex....anyone know what contest triggered that?.. I only enter contests from this site or some that are on my fb news feed....
