Giveaways that start hours late should be extended at the other "end" of the giveaway. Even though the next giveaway will start at the usual time, and for a few hours two giveaways will be running. After all, they do state, "The software will be available for download for 24 hours (or more, if agreed by software publisher)"</p> <p>I will pass on your comments to the GOTD team. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1813#post-11379 Tue, 06 Nov 2007 07:57:02 +0000 lwbjag 11379@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Is a "day" no longer 24 hours ? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1813#post-11378 Tue, 06 Nov 2007 07:55:01 +0000 lwbjag 11378@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Yesterdays game offer has already "expired".

Then, if you have not received "today's" GOTD email, just go to the bottom of that last email and click on the GOTD link --&gt; you'll see "today's" GOTD page. Whenever you receive "today's" GOTD email, just delete the older one. That's what I do, and I haven't missed a GOTD yet.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1813#post-11285 Sat, 03 Nov 2007 11:58:15 +0000 headman 11285@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>"Oh, no!

The past 2 days I tried to download the programs given and can't get past the setup. I download the the program, I extract all the files, I double click on activate, it confirms that I have activated it and then my IE comes up with GAOTD page comes up and says to sign up for the newsletter. After that I go back and double click on Setup.exe and nothing happens. I right click on the Setup.exe and click run as: and a dialog box comes up and says run with current admin, I click yes and then an error box comes up and says Setup.exe is already running. But I can't get to the installation part of these programs. Please help, am I doing something wrong? Or is there another way I need to be downloading these programs? Or am I destined to miss out on these great and wonderful programs? =(</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Lifestylesm </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1244#post-10071 Wed, 12 Sep 2007 13:37:33 +0000 alexiussg 10071@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>another AWC giveaway, perhaps? :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1244#post-10032 Tue, 11 Sep 2007 10:12:58 +0000 deltareb 10032@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>AWC just expired.
