Nice! But i don’t know where i can put the answer.. There is no box in punchtab.
you need to skip a few options before it appears
I did everything, still not working. But thanks for this giveaway! for now i hope this is enough.
I answered in a PM on facebook, hope its ok!
nope, won’t be counted. Enter using at least your email in punchtab and you will be entered, comment not longer needed
Yep you will be fine, the comment option has been removed 😀
Hi Andi,
I´ve enter the contest and there is no comment box in the punch tab box to comment…. in fact I cannot edit my empty comment….
Can you check it?
Thank you!
Same, I can’t see any comments box as in previous giveaway. Check it, Andi.
In punchtab enter your email
then you will have some options to choose
the first is add to your timeline if you don’t want to just skip, then you will see a box which asks you to enter the answer this is the comment box.
there is no box in this step
Still not working here 🙁
9 steps but no comment box to enter the answer.
it is step 2
Step 2 is the youtube video
#2 was a twitter share.
Well the box you are looking for is the one in the image above. Perhaps it shows at random but each time I checked it is step 2.
But, it can’t fill the answer:(
Ok, saw that one, but there was no box to enter the answer, clicking on the text didn’t change a thing either. Also using firefox.
Don’t worry comment is now longer needed, Punchtab seems to be broken for some.
Thanks Andi, tweeted the answer to @gizchina
yes this step but u cant type anything dear
its like comment box not working at all tried all ways
There is no such thing to put the answer!
Check the updates, you no longer need the comment
I’ve the updates, but still confused. I couldn’t find step 2 as described abv. so, how can i put my answer Andi?
You, don’t need the answer any longer
Ok, thanks alot Andy
i have only 8 steps
how come 9 for u
neither here
nor here 🙁
yes, there is no comments box. in step 2, i cannot find field / comment box to type the answer..pls recheck Andi
200 entrants have found managed to comment so far, not sure what the issue is.
Comment now no longer needed check updated rules
Updated the giveaway, if you choose at least one of the options then you will have been entered.
Gizhina
No box in punchtab, My comment is empty, how can i edit it? I don’t want to lose this opportunity
Step 2 is where you will see the comment see attached
I tried so many time but no comment box appearing can I answer in tweet ? using hashs ?
Yep
andi for me to there is no comment box to enter the answer
Seriously Andy, there IS NO comment box here. The widget’s javascript is obviously wrong and doesn’t show up.
See the updated giveaway rules, just choose any option to enter and you will be in with a chance.
ok cool, thanks!
UPDATED: Just choose at least one of the options from Punchtab and you will still be entered. The more options you complete though the more chance of winning. Currently 227 correct answers 😀
Well I think I didn’t noticed that comment box and have skipped it… so now it is saying “Congrats you have earned 1 entry for your comments” even when I did not post any comments… so how am i going to edit and Post my answer there???
haha lucky you 😀 Updated the rules now so that as long as you have entered your email you are entered in the giveaway.
thanks mate 🙂
woe saved me also.. because i didnt get comment box itslef……:)
This definitely is not an easy contest 😛 . The answer is not the problem , but the entering
thx for for the amazing giveaway!. How can i verify that my comment was send? I know it says : thx for your comment… but i had an error while click that send button due to the disqus log on. So i had to log out from disqus, but i’m not sure i sent an empty field or the complete answers wrote.
if you entered your email that is counted as at least one entry 😀
thx!
Hi Andy, i just clicked on done on the comment section because it was not showing the area for writing comment, although i have completed all the other entries, so am i still eligible for the contest.
yep, see the updated rules
Ok
Andi, I cannot edit the empty space with “LEAVE YOUR ANSWER TO THE IOCEAN X8 GIVEAWAY” to enter my answer. The space is locked and cannot be edited.
ANDI THIS IS SO NOT FAIR.
See the updates….
So how should this crappy PunchTab work? I enter everything, press the button and nothing happen. Just like last time I tried to use it for something. Seriously I don’t understand why good sites like this are using this “tool”.
so we can easily store all entries and choose a winner.
Yes, that should be the point. But without entries it won’t be easy.
Seems there are more people entering without issue rather than the other way around. Anyway I have updated the entry details
yep, guess punchtab is broken 🙁
Thank you Andi :-bd
den wher to enter the answers dear
thanks mate,i couldn’t input the answer.
Andi do I need to click the DONE button before I can edit the empty space to enter my answer? Please reply ASAP.
read the updated rules
Pleasure, hope it is all fixed for everyone now
Thank you very much your flexibility 🙂
Well I did all I could in the Punchtab box, earned 7 entries, but no option to put in the answer so I guess I’m entered. 🙂
No place for comments
read above
i noticed my adblock was blocking everything , now i see the punchTab
I’m having a problem with the “Become a fan on Facebook…”.
I can’t see anything to become a fan of. There’s just a white box beneath the text I quoted above 🙁
yes me too…no click button under the become a fan on facebook..its blank.
+1 same here
me too
this is not needed to enter. Please read the entry details again, only the email is required the rest is up to you
Yes how to enter the ans Andi….
punchtab sucks…can’t enter the ans anywhere
Andi,
I have now 6 entries….But didn’t enter the answer anywhere…
Exactly similar last week couldn’t get any window or box to enter the answer…
Even now (screenshot) attached…no box to enter the CORRECT. ANSWER…
Am I still in the contest ????
“Become a fan on Facebook…” is bugged, you cannot click anywhere and you can’t obtain the entry
As per below.
Step 2 and Step 8 screenshot
Dear.Andi I had only a total nine entries,because in 4th step it just didn’t gave me any options to like the fb page of yours.But,I didn’t gave a like button before for your fb page,then why such error happened?Also,I no where found a option to enter the right answer,but I did entered my mail id as you have suggested,Is that ok,Andi?
I hope to win,I really can’t withstand with my very old phone Nokia 5230.
Anyway,thanks Andi for giving us such a great opportunity.
Last but not least,All the very best to my contestents!
i have got only 8 steps and no comment box to enter my answer.. is there a problem?
punch tab section is cleared except youtube video section because it is ban in our country so andi where i sent the fill in the blanks parts answer ???
It doesn’t shows any place to write the answer ._.
No spot for answers Andi
tnx Andi for this giveaway
have now comment field to put the answer =( hope it is not needed
The Facebook’s step doesn’t work…
Now this is so not fair … I am already a Gizchina facebook fan and I was denied that entry. Now I have 7 out of 8 entries. Not good.
OK just saw the update. Thanks Andi
shahjee1992@gmail.com
same problem as simplyshriek… step 2 says i won an entry for tweet but no comment box to enter the Answer. i kept going back and forth, still cant find an option to answer.

keren ditunggu kehadirannya di indonesia
I hate these giveaway contests … Because i never win… but i feel like such a greedy bastard!!! because i end up getting tempted and go for it again and again… SO basically i never win but end up over burdening my conscience with guilt for wanting things and end up self judging and self criticizing for being an GREEDY A$$HOLE..!!! While when i have never won anything in the first place… How depressing.. !!! T_____T
can’t enter as nothing happens when i click on enter now 🙁 trying since 3 days.
Do you have ad blocking software installed? Try and uninstall if you do.
there’s no such thing installed, i’ve entered in the previous giveway sucessfully :/
5000 entrants so far! this is turning out to be one of the most popular giveaways so far. Please remember that the updated rules only require you to enter your name and email address and that is it! (you can add more chances of winning by performing the other options but this is not necessary) Good Luck!
all steps worked fine for me, donno what people are on about! BUt i didnt have to put the answer anywhere?-or did i miss something ? :/
Wish me luck,, 🙂
Wish me luck,, 🙂 .
> This step requires a Facebook login
Contest for a facebook morons. Dammit! 🙁
Andi i am stil unable to enter the competition. Tried on my laptop and cellphone 🙁
