Competitions Discussion Thread Part 10

Has anyone in MSE actually won the Optical Express free Laser Eye Surgery monthly competition or is it just a con to get people into their shops (when you enter the comp you are required to attend a free consultation so they can check you out to ensure the op could be carried out on you).

Am very curious to know :rolleyes:

There has been some talk recently on mse about some of the sites not liking entries from mse or compers

call me paranoid if you like but I think that there are some sites out there that do not like mse or any of the other comping sites and filter out and discard certain entries by the referral link

if you enter a comp using the traditional method by clicking on a link and then click on tools and then page info at the top of the browser it will show the referring url as being from mse

now for the good part I have come across a way of hiding the referral link that shows that you have come from mse it works in FF not sure if it also works in IE

if you are entering a comp from mse just left click on the link with your mouse and drag and drop it into the address bar it will automatically go to the web page but best of all will not reveal the web page that you have come from!, this will work on any link including hidden links and even the post's where it say's click on the pic to enter just drag and drop the picture into the address bar!

hope this of use to someone

May just be me but it doesn't seem to work in IE, shame...

Apparently you can also hide the referrer in IE by copying and pasting into the address bar although it's a bit more awkward than in FF

left click and highlight the url then right click and select copy shortcut then paste the url into the address bar
