That only works if you've actually visited the page of the giveaway. The "Manage Giveaways" page updates automatically when you click on something, meaning I can't back up. I tried searching for it, but no luck. It's probably from a forum posting long-since buried. P

As I mention farther down, I only keep my history for a day.

No, that one still has a week left and is easy to find.

It's not in my browser history. I only keep one day's worth of history in my browser.

Uh... No. It's a habit acquired through 35 years of dealing with computer hackers, ad-spammers, junk-mailers, et cetera, along with many years of being a computer consultant which results in a desire to keep everything running "clean" and efficiently. On top of that, you can throw in the knowledge that 90% of anything I might need to look up in the history is going to be less than 24-hours old.
If I had been willing to fill my computer with useless crap, however, I would still have had to sift through probably four-weeks' worth of URL's to find it.

I've got a few no-tracker/ad-blocker things installed, to boot. I rarely have problems, these days, even when the kids go net-surfing on my computer.
Speaking of kids, if I could just find a device that keeps grape jelly out of my keyboard,...

Go to http://www.steamgifts.com/manage/entries . Pick a private giveaway and click on "Remove Entry." Now, try to get it back without knowing where to look for it and you will begin to understand my problem.

This is certainly a situation which argues in favor of that. )

Nope. That only works if it's in browser history.

Sigh i'm stuck at the watering hole...
In case you really looking for group giveaway for metro - this one?

Nice try, but that one is public instead of private. Public giveaways can be searched for if you accidentally remove your entry.
As for the watering hole, you want a giveaway page.

I can't find it, either. I guess neither one of us will be entering that particular giveaway for Metro. P

I'm talking about the Metro Last Light giveaway I was in. I don't know what you're talking about.
Comment has been collapsed.
It was probably from Hallooween thread, check there.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, it wasn't. This giveaway had one day left on it, not one week.
Oh, well... Life goes on.

Something similar happened to me. I was removing entries to Terraria giveaways because I won it on one of the other giveaways, and at some point I missed a click and removed some other giveaway but couldn't remember which one it was since I wasn't paying much attention.

This was the one giveaway you would have won. The staff, sensing this, took appropriate steps to avert this catastrophe. For it is written in the book of Ceegee: "Lo, there shall come a wanderer from the Internet, and his name shall be that of Creation, but his actions shall be that of Death. For he shall receive without payment, and the Gods of Chance will grow wroth, and smite the Earth with everlasting loss. Those with ears to hear, heed my words."

Couldnt you just hit "backwards" from the page you were in? it will go back to the previous page which "Metro Last Light" giveaway was still visible in the list, giving you access to the giveaway page itself. I solve my problem that way.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope, can't do that. Hitting "Back" triggers a resending of the data, resulting in a simple refreshing of the page.

Look in your browser history. I've done this before myself.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, I did this once. Lost out on a private Tomb Raider giveaway.
I've learned that you should open the page in a separate tab first before leaving.

2,232 entries and no win! Seriously you think you could win that one?
Comment has been collapsed.
Surely you remember at least vaguely where you had found it before? If it was a forum thread search for key words and the title might pop up. If someone send you the link privately hunt them down and ask then nicely for it again. Or you could check your usual groups' announcements in case it was there.
If not... well, carry on. :)

I tried.... I searched through three pages of forum topics, but to no avail. ( I guess I just wasn't meant to win that giveaway. (Sounds familiar, doesn't it?)

OK, so I was trying to remove my entry from a giveaway (from the "Manage Giveaways" page) and there was a delay while the page updated. I was a bit impatient, so I clicked again. Still waiting... So, I clicked again, only the page updated and I ended up clicking on my Metro Last Light entry and losing that entry, as well.
dOh!
That was a private giveaway with only one day left on it, and now I have no idea where to find it so that I might re-enter...! Why did you do this to me, you clicking finger?! WHY?!?
I am a sad panda, now.... (
