Just curious as to why there are several GA's in the created section that don't actively show the winner of that specific GA. Is it because of the new privacy changes?

There happens to be one GA from the last week that I did that does show a winner, but the several before and after that one don't show winners.

Did I miss something?

This is what I mean; in the view created Giveaways area of your account

Received the gift/key but winners names don't show up. One dude does, and a bunch of previous GA's from years ago show winners, but several from this year don't and some do.

blatantly obvious ninja edit

Problem figured! Whitelist for all!

Unless they changed something, it only shows the winner after that person marked it as received.

I can see the names of your winners in your GA list.

Hey, you just made my day I think! I'll have to disable ESGST for a moment and check again.

I don't ever think of those things; just feels like it's the default situation after a while.

wasn't the script.. looks exactly the same with ESGST disabled. Oh well, there's other ways to see the winners; just handy seeing them all lumped in one area like that.

It's the same on my own GAs. I have to click on sent to see the names/e-mail addys.
Edit: Concerning the pic

It's the script, if not ESGST - then some other script. Because, you know, there is no "Winner" column on my giveaway created page at all. Some script added this column, but it seems it does not works well.

That layout is completely non-standard, so you've still got scripts running, then.
Make sure Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey/Violentmonkey is fully disabled- then, if that resolves it, you can individually check what scripts are running through it and find the one causing issues.

You (and the others who suggested) are 100% correct. (I know you know, but, recognition, right?)

Even after disabling the script in Tampermonkey and refreshing pages, it was still loading something. Tried on alt browser and it's groovy.

Thanks Sooth!

you can't see names till they mark wins "received"... unless you made those giveaways.

Thats something to do with one of your scripts.
I use easy steamgifts and some other i think (not really sure, theres a bunch here for steam alone) and my created page doesn't show names upfront, only by clicking on sent.

Any arbitrary change on sg or in the script could have caused that to not show/work as it once did.
Also some scripts use internal cache for stuff , i recall one i used to use that could tag users under a number of parameters and topics and whatnot- but it required processing data on the side to be loaded onto the script. Some stuff was loaded as soon as we opened a certain page (for example looking up each winner of your gas, idn) while others required to go the scripts settings and click on sync- pretty much like SG itself does regarding to the games we own on steam.

Check up your scripts. See if theres any settings to click sync. Perhaps it synced automatically but some change (script, sg, steam) butchered the auto-sync. Wild guesses here.

It's a bit strange that the one name shows up, but ones before and after don't. One thing I haven't tried yet is actually clearing the cache/temp etc, but this "problem" (if it can be called that) has been happening for weeks.

I'll go and try a sync, because thats something else that I haven't done. Who knows, maybe it'll work? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
