If you’ve been playing for a while now you might notice a couple changes the next time you go to play. Since the promotion has ended we have replaced the old GRILLVILLE game with a newer, lighter version that no longer tracks gameplay statistics and no longer requires users to create an account and login. Depending on the browser and operating system you are using you may need to readjust your browser settings and clear your cookies and cache to continue playing the new version of the GRILLVILLE game.

If you are experiencing difficulties most likely you will need to clear your browser history, cookies and cache. The game works by using cookies to keep track of gameplays and bonus entries and it sounds like the system has gotten confused. Please try clearing out your cookies and cache and let me know if that helps. For additional help please visit our frequently asked questions page at http://www.shareyourville.com/faq.php.

FIrst I suggest you delete your Temporary Internet Files, Cookies and browsing history from your browser. Your previous entries are still recorded in our back end database. From the (usually top right) of your internet explorer browser, click on TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS > GENERAL (tab) > under BROWSING HISTORY click on the DELETE button. Check the boxes next to TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES, COOKIES and HISTORY and click on the DELETE button.

Next, click on the PRIVACY tab to adjust your (TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS > PRIVACY) and change your security settings to MEDIUM or LOW. The medium setting has been found to work best for most users but if you are still experiencing problems you may want to try the low setting.
