So I pay you every month, but I can't enter unless I also sign up to your newsletter. Seems a bit off to me.
Just sign up for the news letter.
You don't have to read it and you may win the whole thing just like I did last year.
Seems worth it to me for that much free stuff. 😎
@branes - Good news. Apparently we can do it so that subscribers can enter without having to be signed up to newsletter 🙂 (We will update the info above when we can)
Ah, excellent stuff...thanks.
Ah, bollocks. I was going to entre but, after being in the planet for over half a century it turns out that I'm a robot. Who knew!
Nope, this is a "you" problem, not a "me" problem. I can't have got it wrong that many times. At this rate I should have got it right once by "accident"
I also can't register as the security thing seems to not work & it's not yet clear how I can enter the Megasack without registering for the newsletter as was suggested above.
I get the below message when inputting the code.
I think this is a great competition though, even if I’ve never won anything 🤣.
Me too. I signed up for the Newsletter & entered the anti-robot code but got the following message:
There was an error when sending a confirmation email for your subscription. Please contact the website owner.
The email used was the same as used in my account.
I was using Microsoft Edge & a Windows desktop PC.
It worked for me yesterday.
Well I say it worked but I was still getting the very light grey text in the box so i couldn't see what I was typing problem.
I did get an email asking me to confirm I'd signed up to the newsletter so I'm presuming it worked.
Robot thing won't work for me either. Tried it 3 times, never actually know if these things are case sensitive.
Its a stupid way of doing it anyway, other places just have a tick box, why do you need to use this stupid method when others seem ok with just a tick box. Or at leats keep it relevant and have a picture with some bikes in it....
I too got the knock back message on my iPhone using my subscription email. You have to be in it to win it so clearly I am going to win nothing!
Thank you for running this again
I have just tried to sign up and am also getting the error code
(I think I am already on the newsletter list, but couldn't see another way of entering the draw)
Yep i'm getting that ^^^ now as well. Then it says to wait 8 minutes before trying again.....
I'm assuming that once I get through this rediculous firewall of security there will be an obvious button that says I can actually enter the bloody thing??
I can't even find the relevant page to enter 🙁

Ah - this is unclear!
I'm a member and long-standing newsletter subscriber, but I don't see anything on the website (usually a 'day 1 Megasack video' and a random question to answer in order to enter!
Do I need to re-sign up to the newsletter?
Captcha issue should now be fixed!
You can try your entries again now, unless you are actually a robot...
Now I just have to tick the CAPTCHA box rather than enter a code. On submission the form just clears so I don't know if it's been successful; 15-20 minutes on and there's no confirmation email, should I get one?
-- Edit --
Scrap that, the error's still they (but no code entry).
Still error message here (IHN's red text) on attempting to sign up (3-4 times now, some with a capcha and some without)
I'm already signed up anyway
Stu, have you actually been able to enter ?
Yeah not a clue. I've bneen signed up to the newsletter for ages. Do I need to sign up again? Do I need to sign up every day for an entry?
I guess if anyone does manage to enter they'll be in with a damn good chance of winning.
Captcha still broken. Doesn't even give me the characters to copy. This comment box isn't showing what I type so that's fun. Or maybe it's very light grey on white, nice.
There was an error when sending a confirmation email for your subscription. Please contact the website owner.
Is this working yet STW? No video to click on...?!
[Mod] it's being worked on, will advise when fixed.
This is not the day 1 competition. This is just the info story telling what's coming this week. The Day 1 video and question will bepublished very soon. We are just checking everything is working.
.......
Be ready soon. An email service provider is the problem. Your newsletter registrations are making it through but at the moment the confirmation emails are not getting sent. I am watching carefully and no one will be missed out in the draw because you don't get a confirmation email from us. I have you.
We are just checking the email confirmation system in the actual competition form is working. Should be a go in a few minutes.
Ok. So, the video is up ...
I've answered the question.
I'm already a full member, and a newsletter subscriber (this is the "Chipps' weekly word" (albeit it hasn't been weekly for some time) right? I don't need to sign up again do I?
There was an option for extra entries by referring a friend (which I've not done).
So, I'm entered into today's draw? And am I automatically also entered into the Megasack, or do I need to do something different/extra?
