    Lol - it's not just you.

    What also annoys me is when it gets bumped by people saying link not working for them but the thanks button has been ticked hundreds of times so surely if they tried again later....
    Thank you all who post.

    I have won twice from doing tickbox surveys a cheque for £1,000 and £500 worth of Hames the bakers vouchers

    received both of the prizes within 2 weeks of receiving the winning notification,

    best about tickbox is that they are easy to do surveys and do not take long to complete unlike some other surveys which are long and boring and can take anything from 20-40 minutes to complete

    Don't know anything about tickbox myself but it is on the Spammy sites list in the Comping Guide.

    is it just me or does anyone else find it a little annoying when comps are bumped to say they are game over - surely its better just to PM a board guide to get them moved :confused:

    i thought that was why we all had the 'expired' button now :confused:

    Not quit sure that the expired button is a good idea as it takes multiple clicks from different mse'rs to get the thread moved to game over

    it may take a lot of pressure off the poor overworked BG's but I fear that comps will not be moved to game over quite as quickly now :confused:

    not quite sure that I agree hjb123 I always thought that it was forum etiquette to warn other mse'rs that a comp has ended by posting that the comp was game over in the original thread so as to warn other compers not to enter and then to PM a BG to move to game over

    I also thought that this was done so that the BG's didnt get multiple PM' requests to say that the comp was over :confused:

    if only mse would implement a visible icon on the main comp page to say that you have already entered a comp then then it wouldnt matter how many times a comp was bumped! (if you saw the icon you just wouldn't go there unless you really wanted to)

    I may be totally grabbing the wrong end of the stick, but I think the BGs will still be moving the comps to Game Over when they reach their 'in title' expiry date. The button will just help us all to move a comp over when it has ended early or it was a guessed end date which was longer than the comp actually ran or on the vrey odd occasion when a BG might miss an 'in title' expired comp :confused:

    As I say, I could have it wrong but I thought the BGs would still be doing their mass moves to Game Over :)
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:

    I think Amilucky? realised that VG, but there are a lot which end early and which used to have a pm sent to a BG - these will be slower to be moved over with the new button :)

    Hi Im hoping someone can help me with this , Today I have sorted by date assending and have come up with 3 comps for ending 02/07

    I know this isn't right as I was looking last night and there were heaps more.

    Have they changed a setting and its the same for everyone or is the problem me?

    Not going to win anything this month at this rate :(
