Tell Oneworld how to improve 10year competition

[albatross710]

Saw a promotion in the Qantas infligth magazine to go to a Oneworld site and enter a suggestion for improving their services over the next ten years.

I've tried in a couple of different browsers but the 'security graphic' doesn't load for me to type the special characters prior to Submit.

Has anyone successfully entered?

10 years

Not showing for me either.

That's a rather sneaky way of ensuring you don't have to pay out a prize!

Not showing for me on IE8, Firefox or Safari

Not available for me either still....

Two ways to try and contact them:

postmaster@ oneworld.com
webmaster@ oneworld.com

One or both of these addresses should end up with a tech person who *may* care.

It is working for me no on Firefox & IE 8 .

The issue is that the captcha image is missing from the oneworld website (The one that should be loading for me is http://www. oneworld. com/ content/captcha/ 1258883193314.png (spaces added!)) but it's not available on their website. They are using other captcha images as well which don't exist on their website.

So oneworld will have to resolve it.

 

[Mal]

And I've just emailed webmaster @ oneworld to report the issue and see if they'll fix it.

For the rest of us Mal, how come some of us can access the site and not others :?:

It's not accessing the site - it works fine. The issue is around seeing the CAPTCHA (Or in novice terms an image which shows some letters/numbers in a jumbled and difficult way to read. Captchas are used to prevent automated systems from entering competitions etc.)

Hopefully OW will get back to me at some stage...

 

[Batesy]

I e-mailed them last week as well with no response to date. I stll could not get this to work last night.

I think I know what you are talking about.

 

[albatross710]

Yep, I have now entered as well.

OT: Re CAPTCHA I was reading the other day how some systems are now using the CAPTCHA method to assist computers convert unrecognisable characters to text. Randomly, the system presents unknowing users with a block of characters from a document that the computer is unsuccessfully performing OCR which the computer itself doesn't know the answer. The computer records the answer but presents the unsuspecting user with another option which it can this time verify and the user assumes they made a typo on the original.

The system then presents those unverified characters to a few more unsuspecting users and gains enough consensus on what the characters actually are. The system has gained knowledge on interpreting new characters.

All about using other people's power!
