Nothing is messing up on my end on the GSN site. Sorry you are both having problems. And I know how much everyone loves GSN Tech's advice, but clearing your cache's will be the best place to start.

You're so right Lelee and that's usually the first thing I do when I encounter a problem on the GSN site. A lot of times that's all it takes to set things right again. Wish it had worked this time! But unfortunately I'm currently working on day 4 of being totally shut out of the Oddles Bonus Trivia.

You can also try restarting your Flash Player.

Dang it! I guess it's my 'puter after all! Lelee, after reading your above suggestions I got to work checking out everything. My cache was fine and so was my browser, however, both my flash player and Java needed updating. But here's where I now think the problem lies ... I'm still using Windows XP and since Microsoft no longer supports Window XP it wouldn't let me update Java. It shows I have Java 6 but online it said Windows XP users can update to Java 8. However, every time i tired to update it my computer would freeze and I'd end up having to restart it. After 3 such attempts I finally gave up. So everything is now up to date except Java and since I STILL can't submit any Trivia answers I guess it must be Java that's causing my problem. Last night though I was on my ipad and decided to see if I could submit Trivia on it. Yep! It worked like a charm, so at least I have a means of submitting the Trivia answers now! Yay!!!
Thanks for your help on this one, Lelee, much appreciated! I'm not computer savvy at all! What little I do know I have learned out of necessity, through trial and error, so any and all computer tips are always welcome!

All Windows Operating Systems are still being supported by Windows, there just won't be as many updates to the older systems. I don't know why you are having this issue with Java, but it's not because you still have Windows XP lol. I still have Windows 8 & have no intentions on upgrading to Windows 10. Java is still working just fine for me & doing the updates like it should. Try going to Java's website & reading through the 'Troubleshoot' suggestions or Frequently Asked Questions. Perhaps someone else is having the same problem & was finally able to figure out a fix to Java.

sorry bout that doubleduece- I hope you didn't catch any virus- I recently re-installed my browser (Chrome) & fixed mine- that should work... I also use the "create a restore point" manually for an easy fix IE: Create a restore point : " A restore point is a representation of a stored state of your computer's system files. You can use a restore point to restore your computer's system files to an earlier point in time. "
I got old systems, even old cell phone: LOL

Geez Louise, I wish I knew more about computers!!! I have been tinkering with this Oodles Bonus Trivia problem for days now and STILL can't SUBMIT the answers on this PC! Ratz and double Ratz!
Lelee, I did as you suggested and checked out Troubleshooting and FAQ on the Java site and did all I knew how to do. But (being the computer dummy I am) there's a few suggestions on there that I myself am afraid to try to do. Knowing me, (from past experiences...lol) I would most likely just make things worse! If I don't get it resolved by next weekend, my oldest son and his family will be coming home for Thanksgiving and while he's here I'll get him to take a look at it for me. Thanks for all your help, Lelee! Much appreciated!
Vee, the "create a restore point" you speak of...I remember having to do that one time a long time ago on this very computer, however, my youngest son was on the phone with me talking me through the entire process, so on my own, I wouldn't know where to begin. But here again, while my son is here I'll talk to him about that as well. Thanks for the good tip, and thanks for reminding of this. Oh! And I still have a flip phone! LOL

I also love System Restore- one time I borrowed my son's computer and "Oops, "I clicked something wrong- so I used the Restore, and it was all ok!the Help & Support in your Start menu will walk you through it, step-by-step.type in 'restore' in the [search __________] & that should be easy enough... Before you start System Restore, close all programs. Once you confirm your restore point, System Restore restarts your computer. Click to open System Restore .. < you will see this link Try using restore points created just before the date and time you started noticing problems...System Restore automatically recommends the most recent restore point created before a significant change, such as installing a program. You can also choose from a list of restore points. Follow instructions, don't worry when it reboots- it should come back good as new! ....,, Get those Oodles!

I have a random question about last night Monday Jan 11 just after midnight when I logged in to GSN I saw an ad to earn $1.00 credit (into bank) every time you played a cash game. I clicked the details and it said limit one account per player, only for new players who have never made a deposit before. I think they are trying to get more people to join World Winner side- then today I look and the offer is gone. Anyone else see it?

incucrash, I don't know if it's the same one you saw last night or not, but sometimes yesterday, during the day, I did see an ad/promotion about 'credits' and the one I saw said "Today Only" on it. However, you said you saw it right after midnight, so this is what makes me wonder if was indeed the same one or not.

I did see it incucrash. There was two of these blue promotion boxes on the top of my Active Promotions, but I had no idea what it was for exactly so I didn't click on them. I figured maybe they would explain it on the blog today but they never did. After just reading your post I went back to look at it on my My GSN & both those promos have been deleted for me also. Both of the promos were for earning $1 but they were both different. Now that they are mysteriously gone, it really makes me wonder what they were. Guess I should have clicked on them when I saw them this morning right after midnight.

WHY GSN ? (this is a player from GSN. She used to play in Bingo America with me) from Barbara Hon Cook Today at 11:43am
HAPPY DAY ALL!!!! This will be my last day on this site, as I have finally used up all my oodles and still have 5 1/2 million tokens that I wish I could give away to one of you players. As I have stated before, GSN does not care about us players. I notified them over a month ago and several times since about things that do not work on this site for oodles players and they just thank me for the time I wasted. All the videos that we have all watched and got no oodles for and the hundreds of them I told them about that gave no oodles, their only comment was "SORRY"... I know they only want the sponsors money and do not want to offer us players anything worth playing for.... They like the $$$$$$$ most. Just this morning my adblock counted 20 ads just to open the MY GSN page...now that is cash in their pocket that they want and nothing to offer the players......Yes I have played a long time and seen no improvements to this site, they have only taken away the fun part of this gaming site. I am sorry I had to vent this last time, but I sincerely thank all who I have encountered and hope all the best to all........memaw44
her online name is memaw44
