If I get a rejection I’d rather have a mail as the magazine just goes straight in the recycling

Yeah, in the modern world of IT and need to been seen as 'green' you would think that everyone would just get an electronic magazine, regardless of whether you're in or not.

To confirm.. When I log on to the registrations website with my laptop, I see a red box with the message 'this entry has been unsuccessful'.. I don't see the same message with my phone

Interesting - I have the withdraw tick box thing for VMLMLMLM but not for Ride London - for that there's a note to contact the organisers if I want to withdraw.

For now I'll assume that I'm not in, though.

The "withdraw" thing has been there for several weeks (and possibly longer) - I think it must relate to the entry to the ballot rather than to the VLM itself.

@Jangles - The should be no reason for the browser to give you different results based on which device you're using, are you looking at the correct year on your laptop?

As McGoohan has pointed out, if you look at the 2018 entry and was not successful then, you will see a red box with the "This entry has not been successful in the ballot".

As mentioned on Sub 3hr thread, I got in on GFA for next year, but didn’t accept and pay in time......turns out I put .com instead of .co.uk on my email! 😡
Fingers crossed for ballot now, but not sure if my heart is in London after this years blow up!

Shortlist for alternatives next year is MK, Abingdon or Yorkshire?

MK is a great option...Manchester, or Brighton too...I'm thinking I might go into Europe for a Spring marathon when I get by official 'Sorry' email.
