    I can't wait 12 months for the next prizedraw!

    A glitch in the system somewhere seems to think that the next draw is in 366 days!  Unless Lee hasn't told us something.

    Draw date?

    Dave.

    Am I ready? I was born ready!

    It might be more practical to start a new topic any time the countdown is working correctly Laughing

    Seriously, it works for me too - tried two different machines, two browsers and even my Nokia E90 (on which it doesn't display anything Wink )

    I am assuming your statement "Seriously, it works for me too" means you are getting what I am getting ?

    If you still have the problem, then you must be going through a "Proxy Server" located at your ISP (Internet Service Provider)

    The proxy Server details would have previously been entered into your browser as should teh page below shows for Internet Explorer

    Yes, both in Firefox 3.0 and IE6.

    Seeing that it is JavaScript and uses the basic date and time functions, and thus is executed completely at the browser end, it will of course show potatos if your computer time is set incorrectly...  Wink

    Milton.  Make sure your PC clock is set correctly, including the month and the year.

    Poor me, never win owt!

    My computer tells me it's the 6 March 2009 GMT+1, and it's still 365 days and 12 hours left to the next draw...I know that we sometimes are a bit behind in Sweden but this is silly...Wink

    Have to check it from my Firefox comp then. May be that this old IE06 is the reason.

    It must be the IE06, as my Firefox displays merely 24 days left!

    If the problem only happens with Internet Explorer Version 6.0, then I suggest they may be a problem with the Javascript plugin.

    You may wish to remove it and reload it.
