Can't wait ...
... for some of you people to see the new Facebook layout :D :D :D :D :D :D
Is the revamping of the site now fully complete?
Apologies if this question has been asked and answered before but I haven't seen anything on the subject lately. Do we know if that useful feature whereby, if you hovered the cursor over a title, it gave you a thumbnail description of what the comp was, is going to be brought back? I'm sure I can't be the only one who…
Tampermonkey script for shinier comping
For ages now I've used a Tampermonkey script to adjust the competitions page to streamline things, just a few little quick tweaks to make life easier for myself, and with the redesign I decided to expand it out a bit. Still nothing too major, but enough I figured others might be interested. The full feature list is: * Left…
Back and everything has changed- Help please!
Hello all, used to be a regular comper but over the last few years I just haven't had the time. Now, like everybody else, I appear to have spare time.But I have come back and everything has changed! So questions: 1) I used to just click on a link and it opened as a new page. Now it just seems to link so to get back to the…

I can't thank anybody...
I'm logged in but there's suddenly no 'comp-liment' button... anyone got any ideas? Is it a settings thing?

Weird post today
An envelope addressed to me with EMPTY EMPTY typed as part of my address, envelope seal unstuck and no contents. Has come from The Delivery Group. Anyone received anything similar ? Hoping its just junk or a sample and not a cheque etc :/ very puzzling
Re: this weeks real people
Hi everyone, hope you’re all staying as safe as can be. Just to update you all, I managed to get this weeks issue of real people but as my daughters in labour at this point I won’t get to post it just yet. As I can only stay with her whilst she’s giving birth, when they kick me out after babe is born I’ll go home, recharge…
Let's bring out some smiles and laughter!
I'll start! https://youtu.be/OxOJ7hh3H-I had me in hoots!
NHS APPLAUSE - PLEASE JOIN IN
Hi everyone, I'm sure you, just like me, have loved ones, family & friends working in the NHS & appreciate all that they are doing, risking their own lives to save others, during these worrying times. At 8pm tonight the country is attempting to get everyone outside their house, staying safe of course, 2 metres apart if you…
Turning off Skimlinks
Anyone else having problems turning off skimlinks in their profile? I untick the box and save, but it just appears again.
So another EOM approaches, what's been fixed?
I promise I have looked at Site Feedback and "How Do I?" thread... Since search was finally fixed, (After an ridiculously long and frustrating period IMHO, but aware that Oi be just an 'umble comper!) nothing else seems to have happened to return us to anything like the efficient comping section we enjoyed. We still, (I no…
Mag Dailies error 500
Any body else getting error 500 when you have logged in and try to enter a comp. Just wondering if they have been shut down due to the ongoing problems.
Is it worth it?
Not sure if this has been posted before, but is it still worth entering competitions, are the people in offices still there to draw the winner, are they still able to send out the prizes? What do you think?
Been away for a while & it's all new! How do I
Put the compeiitions into date ending order please - I just can't work it out! Thanks - Rab x
delete please
delete please
THANK YOU
I want to say thank you to all the posters of competitions on here, Its a awful time right now and will get worse. This is helping me and no doubt others take there mind of things. Also big thank you to all workers (NHS and everyone else) that is keeping the UK running.
Postal competitions
About to enter some postal competitions. I have a load of index cards that I used to use in my study days. Although they are ruled/lined do you think they would be okay to use as postcards (although a bit flimsy).
