Thanks for clarifying! It appears you're right. We've never run a series of giveaways using the Gleam.io platform so apologies for the confusion.
I did find a quick work around for you, one which I think you may have mentioned before. After submitting your comment, reload the page, find your comment, and copy the link. I just tested this process out and the link was correctly populated.
I also noticed your Window's Context Menu is in Swedish. The AnandTech 20th Anniversary Giveaways are only available for US residents. I don't want to imply that you are not a US Resident, but I just wanted to double check and make sure you were aware of this requirement.
Gleam.IO doesn't affect your comment board, but yeah I assume giving a link to the forum profile and to the comment without mentioning the name of them is enough, but I guess it should be formulated like such, like:
"Please provide a link to your ... community profile" or whatever you call it and
"Please provide a link to your comment under the article" (then again as long as it work as it do now lots of people would likely provide faulty links, alternatively you could of course had asked for the user-name for both of them, I read the first one as a link to the profile may be enough whereas I read the later one as asking for both a link to the comment and a username, you may want to look into that in case you rely on the answer being one or the other because that may also lead to a bunch of genuine honest human replies which you may possibly take as faulty ones if the validity is checked automatically rather than manually by a human after the raffle/drafting has been done. (Maybe taxation is different for giving things away to US citizens / residents vs those who aren't too.)
It does work with a reload or change of which page among the comments as I've already stated but the preview of course should work too. I guess. Especially now when people will want to copy the link immediately.
No, I tried to find any limits in regard to region / who could claim / get any prizes but couldn't find any so I assumed it was open globally and hence have been filling in anyway. But thanks for telling me since that saves me some time then I guess
I'm not a libtard and if I lived in the US I would likely had understood your intentions with the comment without being offended by it
Neither regional exclusivity or possibly informing immigrants that if they aren't living in the US they aren't eligible for a prize are offensive for me.
. Though of course I too would had appreciated if I could had won things too! But there's always the trouble with shipping cost and paying VAT for both product and shipping cost and in the case of a computer case and such the shipping costs are massive.
Anyway thank you for the reply and hope you can find someone who can fix the comment section so the link become correct even in the "no-refresh" confirmation =P
