    Could you tell me the difference between using "Thanks" and "Enter" on a thread please?

    hiya, i use the 'thanks' button to thank the op for finding/posting the comp,
    specially the ones that require answers & they put the answers on for us :)
    the 'enter' button will show you you've entered that comp when you go back on the main board as you'll have a green tick against it, so you don't have to go back into that particular comp (unless you want to)

    "Enter" gives you a green tick so that you can see at a glance that you have entered the competition. "Thanks" gives a thankyou to the person whose post you've clicked. The thanks button disappears after you've used it and, back in the days before the Enter button, it was the only method we had of recording that we'd entered a comp.

    also, if you've 'clicked' the thanks button, if you win from the comp you can go to your profile & find 'all posts thanked by ..
    sometimes help searching for the comp, specially if the search is playing up :)

  • I started with a lot of other brands such as Panerai, IWC, JLC, Franck Muller and AP. Realised that a lot of these are fashion and marketing driven groups I moved to select Pateks and Rolex Daytonas.

    Just a heads up to everyone that uses Facebook to be careful what information you give and allow others to access when you are entering competitions from this social networking site

    Hi guys, i read the most of the thread this afternoon and downloaded roboform, entered a few comps but it keeps hanging my google chrome, does anyone else find this is it just chrome?

    Dont want to buy it if this keeps happening, its made browsing a real pain this afternoon but it is great when it works smoothly :j

  • i have issues with it in chrome. its ok for the odd comp entry on chrome, which is why i keep it there tbh, i use firefox to comp (i liek the extensions and prefer it to chrome) and have no problems at all with roboform in it. i do have chrome open all day and logged into facebook, but end up hitting the exit button to force it shut and restarting it a few times. i wouldnt have paid for it if i was only trying it in chrome, but think its well worth it for firefox.
