The site used to work just fine for me but now none of the Product of the Day Sweepstakes pages have any content in the main window except for the text. I have downloaded the latest Flash and it still doesn't work. I'm using Mac OS 10.4.7 and Safari. As I said, it worked fine about a month ago.

This Product of the Day Sweepstakes page (http://www.hgtvpro.com/hpro/pac_ctnt/text/0,2595,HPRO_20196_36676,00.html) will no longer load properly, therefore I'm unable to enter. It was working fine a week or so ago.
With all due respect to the webmaster, I must say that the LOGO is too vague with the partially complete outline letters, the REVERSE PRINTED HEADERS are too small and VERY difficult to read. The content layout is OK, BUT!!!!!, the number of pages that one must go through JUST TO REGISTER is ABSURD! On top of it all, this is, without a doubt, THE SLOWEST WEBSITE (Both HGTVPro and the Forum) ON THE PLANET! I have a 1.8gh dual processor computer hooked to DSL (so it ain't ME!) "Powered by eve...." AIN'T CUTTIN' IT! I suggest you change engines! I have been on here OVER AN HOUR, and all I intended to do in the beginning was enter the contest!
This is also posted on the Worthless Sweeps board, but it is not just about sweeps, its about a functional website. And since joining the forums I am happy to see that other folks even MAC users are having problems and are speaking up about the troubles.
Now, if only someone will take notice and fix it.
BTW, the login and registrations pages do not look any better than the old pages that worked just fine, AFAIK for at least a couple years tha I have been regularly visiting the site.
I don't visit much anymore, since the functionality doesn't seem to important to HGTV
........and its still screwed up. I cannot believe that they refuse to fix the site ( at least the registration and Log-in pages)or return it to the old design so they at least function.
CONTINUED "ERROR ON PAGE" and "JAVA SCRIPT VOID" messages.
It makes no sense to operate a page that does not work. I have even sent messages directly to SCRIPPS and they don't seem to care anymore than the PROADMIN folks do.
The site LOOKS ok, but the links still don't work properly, we are unable to sign in properly, the sweepstakes entries don't work properly, etc., etc., etc. Please see my posts on other threads regarding this issue.
I have tried FOREVER to enter the sweepstakes and very RARELY can get the submit button to work. I have decided that HGTVPro does not care enough about contractors and builders who would like to participate in the sweepstakes.
I see that there are numerous complaints about accessibility and the 'new' layout and they have been on-going for a long time. HGTVPro's customer/member care department is INCREDIBLY lacking in service. Why bother messing with it when you are dealing with a company/website administrator who cares so little...? There are plenty of other websites that include product sweepstakes that care more so I guess I will just start going to them.
LOVE IT !!! WORKS GREAT FOR ME !!!

Oooops is right, to quote the site.
