I tried to complete the quiz and couldn't submit my answer at the end, the system just didn't react to a screen click. So I started again with IE and it worked, I'd used Firefox originally. This may be the solution to those who are having problems submitting their answers.

Bad coding, Gigabyte, anything of this nature, including the forum, should run on IE, FF, Opera and Chrome. >:(

Hi GigaCDC

It's strange as I normally use Firefox for any forum operations and don't have any problem since Feb 2008.
Also I received around 70 replies for this competition already and nobody complained about any problem while submitting the answer by private message (PM).

Anyway I will check, maybe something wrong happened with the server yesterday afternoon.

Thanks for information.

Wow I am like the others it's unusual to actually win something.  About a month ago I bought a UDP3 to replace an ASUS board that has decided to go flaky on me.  It is my first Gigabyte board and I was looking around for support forums and found these.  Gigabyte does not make it easy to find them.  I found the contest kinda fun even better when I found out I had won.  Now to figure out what to do.  Thinking I'll upgrade my sisters PC with the UDP3 and grab a cpu and memory and put this prize to use.

FYI I am an old fart and the reflexes and eyes are not what they used to be.  I do blow at twitch gaming.  I have things that twitch whenever they want to and in places I never knew I had.  But it's all good.  I remember when we had to download uphill in the snow at 300 baud.

 ;D

There is big change :o about the first winner.
After checking with Tarkus it appeared he is from the USA (Kentucky), while this competition was only for UK & IRL users according to basic T&C's.

@ Tarkus - I'm sorry :(, but the rules can't be changed back.

So we had to to pick up a new winner of GA-P55-UD6 and it's now Decimator

Congrats! :)

Any reason why I wasn't picked as the winner?

I paid well over the price of the board in bribes to some Nigerian who contacted me saying he works for Gigabyte and if I sent him a fee, he could arrange for me to win.


Should I ask for my money back?

I understand and I wondered about it when I saw this is a UK site.  I blame the eyes, yup the eyes have it.  Congrats to the other winners.  Now back to my normal luck.  I'll still be using the site as it seems to be about the only official Gigabyte forum with real activity on it.  If anyone knows if there is a US version of these boards can you post or PM be a link.

Thanks,

 ;)
