I don't erase the emails, I archive them, and I make sure to save the links for the program site, pointer to the wikifortio download, and the wikifortio url as well. and the original archive, etc. for any file I download free.</p> <p>I'm trying to replicate a bug in the catalog program I use for data DVDs that occurred before I kept a way to download another copy for study. </p> <p>but it makes for a fair log of what didn't happen. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1813#post-11381 Tue, 06 Nov 2007 11:03:43 +0000 lwbjag 11381@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks ...

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". A new game offer has already been posted.<br /> Yesterday's offer was posted for less than 24 hours. "Late" start. "Early" end.<br /> It appears the time every game offered lately has been "unpredictable". 8-( </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1813#post-11356 Mon, 05 Nov 2007 10:14:25 +0000 topofall 11356@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Lee, the problem is not sorted! Email is arriving a day late and the 'give away' page is not coming up with the days give away until several hours into the 24! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1813#post-11355 Mon, 05 Nov 2007 10:02:39 +0000 lwbjag 11355@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>"New" game of the day email arrived 45 minutes ago. "Crusaders of Space".<br /> I thought the offer had been repeated due to the late posting of the game yesterday. Proceed to download page ... The offer had expired. ... What's up there?<br /> "Game Giveaway" takes an extended "vacation"... Now is very late updating offers. Offers are not "new", but a repeat of previous offers. -- Very good ones; but, repeats.<br /> I'm not telling anything that is unknown. I AM grateful for the games.<br /> I would like to see repeats of some of the software offers. ... Maybe swap teams for awhile? LOL<br /> BTW. Is there anyone moderating the discussions on the game forums ???<br /> I am VERY OFFENDED by the remarks of #6 -tbenson. !!!<br /> It's Monday ... Hope everyone (except tbenson) has a great week ! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1813#post-11354 Mon, 05 Nov 2007 09:23:33 +0000 PortlandMark 11354@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I'm not able to find GGAOTD for some reason... although I *have* been able to see that I'm missing good games. GGAOTD isn't on the GAOTD page, and though I can find GGAOTD through Google, it takes me to a list of the last several days games, with no opportunity to find the current ones. Help! Thanks in advance. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1813#post-11297 Sat, 03 Nov 2007 18:05:07 +0000 Lee 11297@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>The problem has been sorted. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1813#post-11292 Sat, 03 Nov 2007 15:56:47 +0000 Suze 11292@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Here's a suggestion for not missing a GOTD: subscribe to the daily email from GOTD, and do not delete it until you receive the next day's GOTD email. 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!
