Disappointing that the PER offers didn't actually seem to be available in June - possibly my work laptop though!

I got them to work but I had to use the promo links if I searched normally they wouldn't come up

When I searched, it defaulted to May and as soon as I changed the date, specials disappeared!
 
re: Happy Hour returns

VA wonderful job with having so much variety to choose from - lets hope it stays like this
 
re: Happy Hour returns

Happy hour was yesterday?! I thought it was Friday. And no email love either from VA.
 
Re: Happy Hour returning soon

Until the arm chair experts get some experience their comments are worthless. Amazing how the smug who have no idea have to open their mouths. But then that ego centric world view probably explains why they think it's AESummerT.
A few people here could/should remember that on a variety of topics :!:

Very disappointing to not even get an email about it.
 
re: Happy Hour returns

My email did not arrive until after the event. Is this VA's "fault" or is it my browser or just slow transmission ouitside the VA server's control? (Apologies...I am not an information technology guru.)

I received the email at 2.41pm. I have no idea about how senders or telco's or servers or mailguards distribute email.
 
re: Happy Hour returns

It was good to have variety and once a week could be a good idea.

But at the risk of sounding negative the specials were not that special!

A Header analysis shows was first processed at 2:40pm, but spent 84 minutes after that trying to escape VA's mail server(s):
