Having problems getting pirates codes

[cteddiesgirl]

I'm having problems getting any codes from the POTC game and the Narnia game. I have been able to get a couple of codes for the lampost, but everything else comes up as HTML.

That what it says instead of the code. I haven't tried playing any of them games in quite a while, so I have no idea if anyone else is having the same problem or not.

I did download the new IE7 a couple days ago. And it was only after that that I tried playing the games again.

Could there be a connection?

I am having problems with both IE and Firefox to give codes.

I'm having the same problem, as well as two friends I spoke to on VMK (though of course they couldn't say what was coming up in the code boxes).

I actually managed to get a couple ice queen thrones as well (which is what I was trying for) but 95% of the time the codes back up as HTML and when clicked changed to things like BG IMAGE and other useless stuff. Never got any pirate codes, I wanted to get some extra dead man's chests for my ride, but of course they're not tradable...

Yes, me too. I have been trying to "farm" the pirate codes and for the last two days, and get either "error" or "html", is the search for Sparrow costume over? Arg!

I just went and checked it out as I haven't played it in a while.
I just played Narinia and at first all I could get was the throne. Then tried again after a couple times I was able to get all...Shield..Lamp Post..Map Poster.. Pin...But I played it enough to see that it still messes up and sometimes all you get is just the html thing? So I don't know...but I wondering if they are just having problems?? As I was able to get several each of them..with some problems???

I'm wondering if they tried to put in some sort of timer like they have in Yeti to make it so you can only win a code once every few minutes. I haven't tried playing the game from the beginning screen to see if that makes a difference. I also haven't tried to play Yeti to see if that game is having trouble giving codes too.

I did try the pirates game from the beginning, even without the flyingdutchman link, and it still didn't work.

And I was getting it on my first three or four codes for Narnia, even though I hadn't played in forever so I was going a normal pace and reading everything to make sure I did the right ones.

I have not been able to get any codes from Pirates for many days now. I also am getting the html error. I am using IE version 6.0 so it is not a 7.0 problem as far as I can tell.

 

[cteddiesgirl]

OK. I'm happy to hear that it's not just me.

But unhappy that it seems they are having problems.




YAVN!!!!

Don't download 7 yet. They changed it so that it's like firefox and use tabbed windows. But, there is a bug in it. Sometimes when you go to open a new tab, it just closes the entire window.

 

[Dagny]

Yup, some people at my office downloaded the new IE version.... it has been definitely problematic. They ended up uninstalled it and putting version 6.0 back on.

Ok, I'm using Firefox, which is automatically updated whenever an update is released.

Another tip, replace flyingdutchman with davyJonesOrgan in your link. It's an even shorter short cut.

I'm getting codes, pretty consistently with every time I open a new browser. I also get codes at other times but get more html errors than codes.

I use Firefox and I'm still not getting any at all...

Ditto

Well, I did update Java fairly recently. That was suggested on this board because it is supposed to fix the "Contact Us" problem.

what link might you be speaking of?

 

[qruthie]

what link might you be speaking of?

I sent you a PM.

 

[ShelbyMarie]

Sad and depressingness...

I've tried like...seven million times, and well, I get maybe one code.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH ::screams at computer::

I love you why aren't you working for me?!?!?!?

::falls over out of chair::

I guess I'll switch back and forth between Safari and Firefox to see which one will work better I guess.

Any suggestions?

Pirates seems to be working again. I haven't gotten the html error at all tonight. I also haven't gotten another Sparrow suit but I'll keep trying.

 

[Laurabearz]

I sent you a PM.

[cteddiesgirl]

Yay! Pirates is working again.
