Posting comps - should I put the end date in both title AND date field?
Hello! Apologies in advance if I'm being a bit thick (it's been a very long week!) but I just tried posting a comp and got a bit muddled by the new date field. I initially thought it had been introduced to save us having to write the end date in the title field, but it clearly hasn't. Am I right in thinking I need to add…
ITV comps (Lorraine - Tipping point etc )
does anybody do these comps now we have to pay
How many postal entries?
Sorry if this has been asked before but Ive tried searching. How many entries can i make by postcard for ITV and Gadget show comps.It states the phone and text entries but not postcard. Thank you
NEWBIE
How do I find the latest comps to enter and how does this work? Thanks in advance:)
End date
hi all, I took some time off after the site was redesigned. Is there now a reliable way to find comps ending on a certain date? If so does anyone have a link or instructions. Also I used to be able search by end date and have 200 per page so anything like that would be awesome would love to come back!! TIA
Free car competition, reluctant to post on the main thread, could someone take a look?
Came across this on facebook, but I'm a little suspicious and reluctant to post it, can't see any problem with it though. The car is probably 2nd hand - says new tyres.https://stormcompetitions.co.uk/product/win-this-mercedes-for-freeWhat I've found so far are their general…
Sponsored FB Comps
When I'm on FB on my phone, I get loads of sponsored comps come up, which can be entered really quickly on my phone. When I jump on my PC and try and find these comps using either the company's official FB page or website so I can share them on here, I can rarely find them. Does anyone else have this issue? For example,…
Hotterr Shoees
These guys are a fake version of Hotter shoes. They tell you that you have won, give u a link, which then asks you to sign up for a download site and asks for bank details. https://www.facebook.com/rosicky.wjynto.5 Just wanted to warn you all.
Instagram competition requiring you to enter twice if you're a comper?
Weird one, but has anyone else experienced this in the past? I just had a DM from a brand informing me that ''since you've only followed for the giveaway, you need to tag an extra 3 people to be entered' I don't mind doing this since it takes 2 seconds but it's odd? If you didn't want people to follow for the giveaway,…
Recaptcha not working
Good Afternoon I apologise if this has already been posted but due to the search function on the forums not working correctly I could not find anything else relating to this issue. Is anyone else having problems with Recaptcha today? Normally I use Microsoft Edge as a browser. Everything was fine yesterday but now I can…
Sharing on forum as a condition of entry
Came across a blog running a Gleam/RC-style comp earlier (not through MSE, to clarify) with all the usual social media entry routes, as well as a couple asking for the comp to be shared on MSE and a couple of other comping sites in return for entries. As well as being untenable for MSE at least, since dupes are usually…
The Arts Shelf
Just been blacklisted and cannot enter any competitions for The Arts Shelf, no idea why as I do not enter that many of theirs. Anyone else had same problem?
Can't find info to post
See if you super sleuths can dig up anything more https://www.facebook.com/karenmillen/photos/a.10150611788855036/10157520371765036/?type=3&theater
Giant RC/Gleam comps?
Just interested as havent seen as many out with so many blogs joining together at this time of year - normally see them at xmas time - is there a reason (I know u sometimes get them for mothers day too but havent seen thm like this round fathers day and most arent fathers day comps?) I was thinking maybe its because there…
RC / Gleam
I'm unable to do the retweets / tweet entries via Gleam or Rafflecopter forms because when I click the box a blank page pops up. I've tried clearing cookies etc but had no luck in sorting it. Has anyone else been experiencing this problem?
Take a break comp
If you have won a cash radio competition can you still do the take a break competition leaving the prize of anything over £500 blank but doing the others or can’t you do take a break at all. I’m not sure whether the answers are awarded separately
Newbie
Hi all! Just joined up on here, still trying to figure out how things work. Cheers
Radio Times picture comp
Has anyone been doing this comp from last weeks Radio Times? 5 answers needed.
First new change in format I've seen for a while!
I've just noticed the first change in the format for quite some time! The Entered/Skipped buttons have appeared in postal entry section <3 Well at least it's a start :p Hopefully more changes will be coming soon, as I fear we have lost to many MSE compers to other sites :'(
Microsoft Edge
My latest update added the Microsoft Edge browser. It looks similar to Chrome. I have used Chrome for so long that I am reluctant to move over to edge. Does anyone use Edge, and if so, how do you find or or compare it to Chrome?
