Recommendations for alternative comping sites
In light of the most recent change to these forum pages, and with many users finding this site becoming more and more incompatible with their comping hobby - does anyone have any recommendations for other comping sites? I'd love to know which ones are the easiest to use and which ones have most comps listed. Thanks in…

Am I the only one who likes the new layout
I must say it looks good to me, just hope it works as good as it looks then we might get a few people returning.
Paying postage for prize
Hello All, hope everyone has had a chance to enjoy the sun this weekend!Been searching through the forum to see if someone has posted this before (as I'm sure they must have but I can't see anything) so here goes: I've won a small prize from a small business and they are asking me to pay postage.I can do that of course but…
Page is squashed
Hi Can someone point me in the right direction pleae. When the forum changed a couple of years ago and the pages was "squashed" there was a setting you could open up and had the paged stretched, I cannot remember how to do this or what the download programme was. If someoe could remember please lcould they post up here .…
Good news for 'end daters' - New date sorting tools!
At long last we have tools for sorting by date order! I've just had a quick play, sorting by date order puts the oldest ones first. The 00/00 (enter details once to be in every weekly/monthly draw) comps are at the very end, those ending today come just before them. We can't yet order them the other way round, but it's a…
Clicking links now requires an intermediary confirmation page?
Is this just a setting I've somehow flicked on/off on this new forum software, or is this another "Change"? Now when I click any link in the competition forum that people are sharing, it's taking me to an intermediary forum page that states the link again, and requires me to click that before it continues to the page,…
Slow auto-fill advice
Hi all I have only had my laptop a few months but the past couple of weeks my autofill has been so slow to appear that I have usually typed in nearly all my details before it pops up when I am filling in comp forms so comping is taking me much longer than it used to. I just wondered if anyone else has ever had this issue…
Controversial
I know this is probably very controversial and I'm likely on my own. But I feel there is so much negativity on this forum at the moment. People want things to change but they are leaving or threatening to leave. We need to stick together, yes. But I feel we also need to thank you the MSE team for still giving us the…

Advice for clarity on prize
Morning All,I had the great luck to win a duvet set and throw recently and the prize has just arrived.It doesn't include the pillowcases which I thought was implied in duvet 'set'. Is it worth following up with the prize giver do you think?Don't want to sound ungrateful! (But I also really would like the pillow cases :D )
Anyone had to chase prizes won with Money magpie?
I won an immune bundle over a month ago, MM took details to pass to the company but nothing arrived yet. Emailed MM at beginning of this week, but no reply yet. I suppose they could be waiting for an answer from the prize company but I haven't had any acknowledgment they received it. Wonder whether anyone else has had to…
Advise on claiming prize
First I 100% apologise is this is not the correct place to post this question. I won a prize on Instagram a few weeks ago. The company asked for my name and address on DM. But I noticed after a few days they had not looked at the message with my address details. Few days later they posted to say they would be taking a…
Same competition - multiple sites..
Can we create a forum rule that when a competition is run across multiple sites, that there is ONE post with links out to each site. It's so annoying having to scroll past the same (often lots of different competitions) thing lots of times. I appreciate everyone who posts, but this would really help tidy up the forum.

Where to post - Win a house (£2)
Hi, As this comes within the MSE to pay comps amount as okay for post, text, and phone competitions, but is an online competition can it be put on the main competition forum? I've seen that this has been done before, but don't know if it was in the above sub-section or the main one with a being a pay to win prize draw.…
How many characters can you put in a subject line on a new thread title on the comps board?
Just thinking that it would be a good way to get round the missing hover preview that everyone complains about. It would be a little extra work for those that post the comps but everyone that uses the board would benefit. There is no need to type 'Win' every time, all the posts are to win something, it's what the board is…
LikeWow comps problem ..
When i enter a competition for this site, it accepts the answer on enter now, then it comes up thank you for entering but underneath, Oops .. Unexpected error occurred. So, I don't know if it has gone through or not. I have asked Likewow on their Contact Us form on the site & messaged them on Facebook but no reply so far.…
Winners not drawn
I've come across a website for a large store's local community page on Facebook. They have been putting prize draws on and only getting about 20 people entering. I was going to start posting them on CT, but looking at some of the prize draws no winner has been chosen. The two I can see that have been drawn are for a sofa…

I just work my way through the entry options using the Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest etc. entry option. Recently when I enter one…
