They seem to have changed the format so that now they tell you which ones to enter! It's no longer set out as pages, for example, 1 - 13 but as 7 or so competitions on one page which as you enter them you are then presented with more to enter but if you reach a stage where you don't want to enter what is shown then that's your lot. I hope I'm making myself clear - it all feels a bit mad! Has anyone else found this?

At least one of the other sites has been doing that for months, I suspect they will all end up that way.0

Just had a further look and they are not nice especially if you only want to enter a few but from the index page you can still select each page but it means each competition you want to enter must then be opened (and closed) in a new tab.0 -
Thanks mjm. I'm already questioning whether it's worth doing them but doing every one in a new tab? Not going to happen! This might be just the push I need!0

The way I do these this is not a problem. I open a click to win page, for example, That's Life. I keep that page open as my working page. So in this case it is page 1 of 13. Then I go through that page and click on the ones I want to enter with my mouse wheel. This opens each one I click on in a new tab, but my working page stays open. Then I do the same with page 2, and a few more pages, until I have a good row of tabs to work on. Then I quickly go through the tabs one by one entering each comp and closing the tab. When I get back to my working page, and carry on from where I'd stopped. I hope that makes sense. I'm probably making it sound more complicated than it is. Try it to see if you can make sense of it. I think it's the quickest way to do the CTWs, and it doesn't matter what format the landing page takes, because once you've entered you close that page anyway.

Also the closer ones seem to hang on 'processing' for ages since that site changed. All these tweaks are really slowing things down.2018 - £562 2019 - £130 2020 - £276 2021 - £106 2022 - £1400

This is exactly how I was doing it when they first started, I now do it slightly differently which I find is a bit quicker. I do the first one and then it takes you to the ones it suggests you enter, I enter all the ones that I want to enter in turn until the ones presented are ones I don't want to enter. I then go through each page and open each one that is left I want to enter in a new tab, when I have all tabs open I then enter and close each tab. This way you don't need to open and close as many tabs and makes the job slightly quicker. I hope I made sense, I know what I mean anyway0
