 		Is this a US only or a no linux deal, because I definitely can't see a game and contest link Sad there are links for collection, gallery, tell a friend and where to buy, did I miss something?

Wow, that's odd. It's possible I suppose. But odd, considering the storyline is based in Paris. You'd think they'd do an international game. The Official Rules won't be up until tomorrow either, so you can't see whether it says US only yet.

I think it might be your computer monitor resolution, because there is a newspaper in the bottom right hand corner that when clicked on is the link you want. My screen is only showing a small corner of the newspaper, so I figured my resolution was set wrong, since it is not showing the whole thing. So I am suspecting you are missing or not seeing the newspaper in the right hand corner. The links you talk about (collection, gallery, tell a friend and where to buy) are at the top, while the signup link is bottom right hand corner - newspaper with headline.

Go here, then find the newspaper link:

 		Is the newspaper anywhere near the privacy policy link, because it isn't happening, i tried resizing the window to the recommended size and nothing, not that I'm too bothered but it is annoying when your choice of operating system affects what games you can take part in, The Search for Bourne being the prime example.

I'll try a different version of flash tomorrow Evil or Very Mad

I'm in Canada, and I can see the site just fine. However, my eligibility for the prizes is... nil. Only U.S. players can win prizes.

Yes, actually, because my newspaper is half missing, the privacy link is on top of the newspaper. I played with my resolution and found that if I put it on 1280 X 1024 I can see the newspaper just fine. I don't like it though, because it is hard for me to read the text at that resolution. So I am convinced that is the problem on your monitor.

 		Weird, when I signed up, that newspaper wasn't there. In the top row of buttons I have Game & Contest right in the center between Gallery and Tell a Friend

Aw, yes it is unfortunately US Residents only. They updated the Rules page.

Hmm my monitor is already on 1280 X 1024, but there isn't room for anything underneath the privacy link, accept for a few pixels because the window ends.

Do you get to see all of SJP's legs, I'd guestimate that the image of her holding the Covet bottle is cut off at the top of her calf's.

Maybe it some quirk of using linux and Firefox and the various addons I'm using.

 		Well I know that F11 (full page) helped me to see all the site, maybe it can help those of you having problems

 		I wasn't quite as bad off, I could see the newspaper, but on other pages I'm getting a jumble at the bottom or stuff pushes off the bottom of the screen. Can't highlight and force the image to push up. I found killing some of the toolbars made the pages display better. The "Prize Details How to Play" links on the bottom are on a different layer = always right at the bottom of whatever screen you are on. If the rest of the page spreads down that far, they are on top of each other. Ick.

And now to suspicious nit-picking. If Melisande is in Paris (where she moved back to, where SJP is in jail etc etc) how come her profile pic is not in Paris (my guess is NYC, but it just doesn't look like France IMHO). Well I could be wrong, but with nothing else to pick over, this is mine!

 		Game Started
I guess everyone is trying the same angle as me - trying to log into myspace with the password given in the clues. I just keep getting a message:

"This account has been locked for 15 minutes due to excessive failed login attempts. Please try again later."

Going to bed now - will have to try tommorrow.

 		Didn't they know that hacking into myspace accounts would be a bad method to play this game. I got a locked account message as well. Does anyone else have any leads?
