I luv this new version…gud work…hats off….but if u have changed the look n feel….why not add some basic points too…
first – add an option to see which of our friends are online..
second- status track for prizes and gifts.
third – contests being played now as u see in youtube the videos being watched right now.
fourth – increase gifts which can be redeemed against prize points.
fifth – if a contest has expired…it should be removed instead of displaying the message the contest has expired
sixth- their should be an option for loyalty or get points by inviting friends too….
seventh – grade the members according to the no of contest they create and paly or on the basisi of how old they r on ur site…u can allot the members cool nick names.
eighth- U can also add an option of themes…that is users may select in which theme they want to view c2w….the present on or the old one…
ninth – if u change the theme next time….try smthing with black color as background..
tenth- their should be an option on the home page…about the contest with prizes ending on the current day..
eleventh – prizes should be announced on the same day as they r announced to be.
twelfth – last but not the least….if u want add a box to the home page which displays orkut user of the day selected randomly or by any criteria u want.
but guys …i would say…its the best change i have seen for any website…grt work ….awesome effort….u have suddenly got better than the best…hats off again…God Bless….
October 21st, 2008 at 11:21 pm
It’s cool!But it would be better if the background was more colourful rather than being white!Also,we could have a list of our recent profile visitors.Looking forward to the new c2w blog design!
Regards,
Oindy:)
October 21st, 2008 at 11:23 pm
ya thats true…oindy….recent profile visitors wud be great….plus if an option of bday of frnds or users of c2w gets displayed on the home page…we can wish our co members in this way….
i too think that black background would have rocked more than this one…
October 21st, 2008 at 11:24 pm
but still …this is the best changed i have ever come across on any website or at c2w…
October 21st, 2008 at 11:49 pm
Its Gr8.. Colour FOnts Theme Used is Gr8 too..It would have been good if u would have added feature like Not Played Contests and c2w Banner could have been More graceful if Some good Picture(s) were in the Background ..ELse is gr8..
Thanks
October 22nd, 2008 at 12:43 am
Looks nice, but as Oindy said it would have been nicer if the backgound would have been colourful rather than white!!!
October 22nd, 2008 at 12:47 am
One thing I would like to suggest to c2w team is that would’nt it be nice if we could add images as our answers. Plz think about it. Secondly, to give a international look, you should add the option of language selection (i18n) in your website.
Eg: Japanese people can see contents in Japanese & create Japanese contests etc.
October 22nd, 2008 at 12:51 am
LOOK NICE,BUT PROBLEM IS THAT .NOT ACCESSIBLE IN
Mozilla Firefox, ERROR COMING ……….
Server Down for Maintenance

i just love the new desing. and i love the white background. we indians love colors in everyhting, but the white background gives it a more international appeal.
one thing that irrirates me all the time is –
when we are adding questions to Quiz/twister etc, we must be shown as how many questions we have added so far. it creates a lot of problems when there is a contest where we are supposed to add certain number of questions..
one more suggestions, there should be a way to see who played our contest and who rated it.
just a few thoughts
anyways! C2W Rocks.
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:41 am
hi……
shocked to see new skin
very attractive theme but dont u think there is missing something.everything looks so blank blank.
pattern for “PLAY” option was previously better to use.
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:43 am
too good design.. especially the green colour gives a very fresh feeling.. but just that background being white gives it an incomplete look.. else its awesome.. gr8 job!!! cheers!!
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:46 am
make it more social dear………..
like we could add friends only at approval of user (not like that we just add him and he appears in our frnds list)
users profile must be updated so that we could know more about our c2w friend and interact more(today,we even dont know that to which place they belong to)
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:49 am
1 more suggestion……….
there should a corner for best creators of the day on the homepage.their names and contest should be displayed there.this would really encourage every creator
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:53 am
also there should be corner on homepage which could give information and daily updates to users.and profile of all c2w team member should be there so that users can contact you easily
this way the blank blank background will be filled in better way
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:59 am
as c2w is prize winning site,it should attract the users,but i dont think this theme would attract them.
you should have used brighter colour,attractive theme.
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:07 am
finally 2 suggestion.
1. c2w homepage should change with every big occasion.like on diwali,there should be lights,crackers,colour on homepage.on christmas,red colour theme.
2. there should be a digital display on homepage showing increasing no. of c2w users so that every one may know progress of our site.
regards sidsrk7.
i am dedicated c2w user and i clearly say what i think is going wrong so sorry if i use hard words anywhere.
i only want c2w a better site
October 22nd, 2008 at 10:19 am
the background should not be white it should be colorful with various themes for making it creative
October 22nd, 2008 at 11:00 am
New theme is very attractive. Thanks for it.
Few suggestions
There should be facility like if i want to send message to all my friend i simple choose send to all friends.
While deleting message, there should be facility like delete all or selective (Check Box)
October 22nd, 2008 at 11:02 am
New theme is working fine with Google Chrome browser!!!
October 22nd, 2008 at 11:16 am
Really a cool. My suggestion is to change back ground colour and make a some light other colours instead of white.
October 22nd, 2008 at 11:20 am
i jus love it…i have a great faschination for colours but the new design looks really sleek and i think it works well..everythin looks neat and clean on the website..so great work..
i had given this suggestion in suggest2win and i wish u guys wud do something abt it..it wud be really cool if wud display only the contests not played on every person’s profile..that ways its easier to play the contests rather than hunting for what we havent played..
October 22nd, 2008 at 11:30 am
1)New skin is cool, but would be gr8 if ya add some more colour, though cool it is appearing incomplete.
2)Can add any light bright colour like baby pink or bright yellow or blue to compliment light green ( which is current new theme colour)
3)New skin takes time to show images and video, while playing, try to work on it
October 22nd, 2008 at 11:30 am
4)If possible try to add one more caption of users online
5)As in Home page you guys have mentioned Latest Winners, add Best Creator
Regards
Pooja
October 22nd, 2008 at 11:32 am
6)It becomes really time consuming when have to share refer friends and users our contest, if you guys can add some feature or button like forward to all, it would be great.
October 22nd, 2008 at 11:35 am
7) one more thing like you send mails informing about new contests with prize and prize points, same you can add in home page and also it should be shown in everyone’s profile so that we dont need to evrey time in play then click on prize or pp, it would give users a quick link to daily added contest to pp and prize
October 22nd, 2008 at 11:41 am
9) if its not possible to show all online users what u can do is just using a smiley or different colour show in friends list whose online and whose offline
October 22nd, 2008 at 11:57 am
new design is cool but it would be better if u can add a bit of colours in it… too much whiteness is appearing… and one more thing try to have have different flavours for different season as it is diwali time u should try to make it more colourful with images of diya, cerackers n all
October 22nd, 2008 at 12:10 pm
ya its true,
c2w great openings @ international level
if we add some attraction ,
it marveles like , special taggs ,
spacial games , is somthing special.
October 22nd, 2008 at 2:19 pm
Looks Fine, but WORKS TOOOOOOOO SLOW……
October 22nd, 2008 at 2:21 pm
I THINK U SHOULD ALSO GIVE PRIZES TO PLAYERS WHOSE CONTESTS HAS BEEN SELECTED FR PRIZES
October 22nd, 2008 at 2:45 pm
good…but i feel it was better before….lck of colorzz…..
October 22nd, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Top scorers and latest players should be reintoduced….plzz
October 22nd, 2008 at 2:48 pm
its very nice, cool. there is too much whiteness, some brigtness is lacking. Some colour needs to be added.
I suggest you to add the following features in the site:
1) List of contests that particular user has not played
2) some incication so that user can know which of his friends are online and
3) after log in the user’s profile page should open instead of home page.
thanks and regards
October 22nd, 2008 at 2:49 pm
It looks incomplete somehow….
October 22nd, 2008 at 2:49 pm
it is very cool .put some background color…
October 22nd, 2008 at 2:50 pm
4.background colour to be added…
October 22nd, 2008 at 2:55 pm
A better presentation will 100% attract more users….lack of colorz may shoo away the users from the site…previous design was much better..really
October 22nd, 2008 at 3:29 pm
Seriously i m not happy from the new avatar of C2W, last look was good. from my point of view user will definetly get bored of this look, as it is basically white, we indians are not habitat with white, we need some colour in it, secondly prize point games is not easily notifcied, first one was better
October 22nd, 2008 at 3:32 pm
it look like a blog, just the skin had changed and some matter, but there should be some new kind of presentation, from my point of view fonts are little smaller.
October 22nd, 2008 at 3:35 pm
the site has become little slow, may be beacause of flash, the contests took a lot time to open,the site of bright colour, not of dull colours, the C2W logo should be colourfull man.
October 22nd, 2008 at 3:44 pm
in category section there should be hollywood too.
October 22nd, 2008 at 3:50 pm
one more suggestion for the message section, there should be select all button, to delete the scraps, as if i recevied 200 + message in a single, it is too difficult to delete one by one and it totally waste of time
October 22nd, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Suggestion:
The Interface is good! But just the colour co-ordination should be changed from white.
October 22nd, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Suggestion:
The “Play Channels” and “Categories” should be moved from the Bottom Right Corner of the Webpage to any other location for easy browsing of the Contests.
October 22nd, 2008 at 5:52 pm
i think in the home page there should be a indian flag colours as we r indians we will always happy to see them u should colour green orange and white
October 22nd, 2008 at 5:58 pm
there should be more prizes adden in every week in redemption page
October 22nd, 2008 at 7:39 pm
10) my one more suggestion, in unapproval contest, we are not allowed to delete undesired contest which we dont wanna publish, please add or activate delete option, as it becomes very messive, and even after requesting our unapproved contests are not been deleted.
11)also give a option select all/delete selected, so we can delete all unwanted msgs in one go, like mails.
October 22nd, 2008 at 7:42 pm
please add atleast one colour, i know u guys are going international but dont forget Your INDIAN USERS, new skin looks BLANK, may be continuation of same skin colour may loose ur indian users
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:32 pm
I think its time to change the blog template also.
October 22nd, 2008 at 8:44 pm
while sending message to users indvidual, there should be send message to all friend, means bulk message (to all the users)
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:59 pm
MY LOVE UPDATED.GREATTTTTTTTTTTT
October 22nd, 2008 at 11:36 pm
Sorry since u have introduced the new version of contest2win I am not able to open the prize point contest, let me know why? sometime not able to open the website too. Please help me, it will always shows this message, server down for maintaince, so how long it will take to be normal.
October 23rd, 2008 at 8:35 am
I have got lots of things to say . Firstly thje colour white is good with green but the grey colour in the page is not at all appealing . it should be changed to some appealing colur say brown or … Next the play channels dont look good at the bottom . It seems to have no meaning yaar . If u ask me I didn;t see it at all . Only after reading one of he comments I saw that.Next on the home page or anywhere else where you place contests Instead of always mentioning if it is a quiz or a hangman ,give a small background box with the colours of the contests as you already have for each. The links placed in the play page like prize , prizepoints, tag etc… is not actually needed . It is not giving a decent appearance . it just looks like as if it is dumped cos of noi space and throughout the year you need to have a background behind the title contests2winand should be kept changing with seasons like eid , diwali , new year , rangoli..etc . Give more colours attraction appealing may be the orange colour was good in the last skin you could have a combi of orange and black . Win needs to be put in a box . It looks idle if placed plainlyMore will be told to devil.
October 23rd, 2008 at 8:38 am
The play channels can be put up in the empty space in the title background in extreme right
October 23rd, 2008 at 10:42 am
yesterday playing on c2w, my headache started cause of colour (white background,too bright and eye distracting, i dont think i will be able to give time in c2w as before, unless, some colours are added, its damn bright for eyes.
12) none of ur campaing adds are appearing, flash, work on it.
13) you should also make a banner and scroll top/best creators of the months ID names, this way creators will feel good, and other or new creators will also work hard so that their names appear in c2w banner. This will be a gr8 boost for users
October 23rd, 2008 at 10:49 am
It is good change but background colour is dull. It is better if background change.
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:05 am
The new skin rockz but we can make C2W much better !!!
1.You can add cash prizes to be redeemed by prize points
2.You can create a contest similar to play2win but i must be like this – the highest player of the day wins the prize
3.You must give chance to other users to create daily polls.
4.You can give prizes to the best creator of the week
5.the new skin of crossword is nice but it is difficut to write in it and most of the users are facing problems regarding it .
6.You must make a limit of contests created by each user per day (lets say 5 per day)
7.You must increase the things to be redeemed and add some big prizes like cell phones,ipod,playstation etc.
8.We can see that most of the users are making fake iDs and giving votes to their own contests so we must ban their all iDs.
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:28 am
14) Some months back u also kept an option in every play channels, that while creating we can choose the expiry dates of our contests, please activate it again.
15) One change in community also, as of now i feel its not organised, winners of 17 oct. is shown and afters 2-3 winners, winners of 18th oct, and in between again of 21st oct is shown, this is been practised since many months, try to organise it and show latest winners or current date winners, so that it becomes easy to check
16) in community u guys show recently logged in but only 12 ids, instead show all, and give a caption below “view all” though, even if ya remove recently logged option from community, doesnt makes a difference
October 24th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
The blog is looking damn cool . May be the c2w site could also use black for attraction
October 24th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
wow its cool and sleeky looks is amazing and feel like hanging more on this site. its so stylish and comprehensive but thumbs up image of previous was better.
October 24th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
plz darken the bacckgrounfd of hte box containing details of the prize and date to be won…its light and so a user cannot maybe read it sometimes
October 25th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Awesome look. Great appeal even for international audience. However, need to fix the bug of keeping played and non played contests bifurcated. Its many a times irritating that u click on the contest and it says that u have already finished the contest, then again browse for another contest and try to remember that its played or not. Overall 10/10.
October 29th, 2008 at 5:46 pm
Wishing Happy Diwali To All C2W Team & All C2W Members and Congratulation to all because of C2W Going To Become International.This New Design Is Really Cool & It is working Finely But I Have Found That Most Time It Shows That
Server Down for Maintenance.
We’ll be back in a brief moment. … Click on the link below to have a look. http://blog.contests2win.com/So You Should look on this problem &this design is better take have a Look on this
C2w.com users come from these countries:
India94.2%
Pakistan2.4%
United States1.1%
United Arab Emirates0.1%
Brazil0.1%
so You should Advetise for c2w in some networking site like Orkut.com,myspace.com etc
C2w.com has a traffic rank of: 25,382
C2w has getting lot of response for more response you should keep contest on orkut because when you shoild keep contest like
Get Paid for Orkutting – Create and Win!
that will help to know all Orkut Users About C2W
& You Should Release More Apps On Orkut so that helps to know all members about c2w
October 29th, 2008 at 5:59 pm
i Have One MOre Suggetions Recently I have invited My some friends to c2w he had signed up and started playing contests.but that time he had some problems in playing some contest so he told be problem & Asked Me Who Is Admin,manager etc so i have told him about c2w team.Instead Of Giving Usenames Like Devil,maniac etc You Shuld Give C2w Team Members POst That what is it Admin,co-Admin etc so new comers can solve their prolem by asking you
October 30th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
THE NEW LOOK IS NICE BUT YOU CAN KEEP A REFERRAL SYSTEM IN WHICH 1 CAN INVITE FRIENDS AND IF THE PERSON INVITED SIGNS UP,THE INVITOR SHOULD BE GIVEN PRIZE POINTS
November 2nd, 2008 at 11:50 am
I like the new version but its OK i prefer the old one as it was colorful and bright. I want that c2w should make some additional changes like:-
first – there should be an option to see which of our friends are online.
second- there should be prize point for surfing the web site a very important need so that user don`t have to wait for long time to redeemed prize (EVEN IT IS BENEFITED TO USERS WHO HAVEN`T WON ANY THING YET)
third- there is one another this which is necessary that some of the user don`t receive there prize it can be a cause of delivering at wrong place or wrong person in this case when the courier people deliver it they should be verifying the person by this id like colege id,school id,driving license etc.
fourth-when there is and users birth upcoming or any birthday that should be highlighted on c2w front/main page.
fifth- there should be messenger for c2w people to chat with them
sixth- the crossword is difficult to write in it and I am facing problems.
seventh- the contest are taking time to loading a contest.It need to fresh up once or twice.
November 8th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
make a ikon in the profile page from where we can send a single message to all our friends in a single click..by tat way we can more publicize our contest as well as time would be saved
November 8th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
the new version of c2w is all set 2 go international so try to make it huge by increasing the winning oppurtunities…u can introduce prizes such as best contest of the month.. it will really make the user of that contest proud and satisfied..
November 9th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
the amount of contest that is being created in c2w is huge and its become difficult to attach prizes to many of them.. so i advice you to allot a category of must play contest also along with prizes and prize points..those contest that fails to reach to prize or prize points should be alloted in that column and you could add monthly prize for user who play all the contest.. by that way creator as well as players will be happy..think about it..thank you.
November 13th, 2008 at 11:24 pm
mujhe ok ok laga…still not bad…gud 1 for a change
November 16th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
you can give prizepoints on birthdays of the members
January 25th, 2009 at 9:52 am
I believe you need to make more attractive theme. Do more work on logo.
