How can I see MakeUseOf Giveaway codes?

Benjamin Trotter asks:

When I go to the Giveaway codes page on MakeUseOf’s profile, I can only see a white page. I have dumped my cookies and cache, and restarted. Still the same.


Browser: Chrome 22

Most of the time, I just get the giveaway code from their twitter stream.

This usually happens if you have active a adblock add-on, which blocks the page scripts…
Try to deactive this add-on. Or another way, is to subscribe for the updates via mail, and you will get the new giveaways news via mail, and along with them the giveaway code!

Weird… I use chrome and haven’t had a problem. I use ad-block as well but have an exception in place for the MUO domain. Anyways.. Good luck all :)

no browser works on Facebook for the giveaway codes. its most likley facebook changed something and MAKEUSEOF has not changed their app code to fix the now broken code. i havent been able to enter the iphone contest :( .
frankly this giveaway code stuff is from the 90s which most other sites have learned to get rid of since it doesn’t work for the intended purpose. (other sites will end up posting the code anyways) and frustrates people when there are glitches.

why do you cause many to have to “jump through hoops,” such as Facebooks Twitter stream, or Googles Plus to access a giveaway code, when many don’t use them ???
