Green ticks
Since the forum update, (using IE11), when entering competitions and ticking the green tick. it now shows immediately. Before you had to refresh before the tick appeared. Much better!
How do I track comps on multiple sites

Wrong prizes?!
I was just wondering what you think about when you receive a prize that is not what you thought it would be and what to do. I feel mega ungrateful emailing and saying it’s wrong but at the same time it’s not what was advertised?! So I won a Joie car seat and pram, and it arrived yesterday and i don’t have a pram, just 2…
Referrer control - Firefox
Morning Has anyone that used referer control (green logo) on Firefox before the update last year managed to find a decent replacement yet please? I know that and ref control became incompatible with the new version but I'm kind of hoping that may have been rectified now and somebody more techie could point me in the right…
advice needed please
I've got myself into a bit of a bother over entering competitions. Initially , I was entering via mobile, then I tried lastpass, and, roboform, but if I'm honest I've had problems with both. I guess I started back to front, in that I started entering competitions on Firefox which saved my logins. Now, even with roboform on…

Low entry site
I've won twice from this site. Nice friendly owner and not many participants at the moment. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post a link to it. Cash or food/amazon prizes. A goat named penny is the name because I'm not allowed to post a link. I've been comping for years so I'm always on the lookout for fresh sites :) and…

Green tick problem?
Hi everyone, I have noticed that over the last week or so, it’s not letting me click the green tick to show I’ve entered something? It shows up, I click it, but it just comes unticked straight away! It’s making it very difficult to track what I’ve entered :( Is anyone else having this problem or know how to solve it?…
What type of comp do u want to really really really win?!?
We all have prizes we would love, BUT Do you have a type of comp that you want to win!? It could be you want to win a rafflecoptor, it could be a woobox, or is it site specific? That spin to win driving you mad!?
