[quote name='HighlightShow']There are some good prizes in this contest, but it takes awhile to load.[/QUOTE]
That's for sure. How long does it take to load the results? I got up and left my computer 10 minutes ago and it's still apparently loading.

Anyway, thanks for the link, OP.
 
My bandwidths are choked with downloads on my slow DSL and it takes no more them 10 seconds to load the page for me. Maybe it's your cookies settings?

This contest just does not like me, although it takes under a minute with minimal information requested, which is nice.
