Am I in Plus Contest? by prashker on 03-28-2005 at 05:27 PM
Ok,
First of all I signed up for that contest 1 week ago and hav been sending this link to all my friends http://www.msgplus.net/download_contest.php?id=179 .
But today to get that I needed to go to the contest page. It said I was signed up for the referal link. But it said "sign up for contest".
I cleaned my internet stuff,cache,cookie,etc.
So how can i get that page back to saying. YOU AHVE ALREADY SIGNED UP. Or do i have to enter again and lose my referals?
Thanks In Advance SonicSam

No you are still in the contest its because you cleared your cache cookies to get your referrer link again go to the button right hand side of the page and enter your email. You don't need to sign up again.

if you wanna see your referrer page again, visit http://www.msgplus.net/contest.php and enter your msn passport in the box in the middle of the right column

I wish it would tell you how many entries you have in the contest, or how many times people downloaded Plus from your contest link.

Use proxies to download Plus! a bunch of times with the same referrer link?
* WDZ reads the contest page...
quote:Oh... installing is required? I wonder how that works... O_o
Each and every time someone downloads and installs Plus! by using your link

Maybe, when your/our firewalls pick up something being sent, it just tells the server that a Plus! has been installed in someone's PC.
