Mag Dailies Error 500
I've logged on the mags dailies to do comps but getting Error 500 on each of them, is it just me or is anybody else getting this???. Thank you in advance xx
Competition closing date has changed
Hello, I entered a competition for a local shoe shop last week which had quite some effort. The rules were no ages restrictions and the closing date was Saturday 23rd May. Today (24th May) they have posted to say they have extended their competition by another week by popular demand and I noticed in the advert it now says…
Facebook - Where is the Like button?
A lot of FB comps ask you to like their page but I can rarely find the 'Like' button so I just hit 'Follow' instead. However I noticed today that the FB page says how many 'likes' & how many 'follows' the page has. I guessing these are different and I've been doing the wrong thing. Where is the like button located though?
Instagram Question
Sos if this is a daft question, but you lot know by now how daft I can be :) Would some kind soul please explain what it means on Instagram to "share to your story"? And can I do this with a laptop? Thanks Blu XXX
How do I search for comps in Game Over?
(Does Game Over even exist any more now we can't click "Expired.") I like to thank posters individually when I have a win, even if they're much fewer these days. Searching key words, companies etc only shows me current comps. Please shae if you know. I may get a win to thank for :D !
Receiving prizes out of the blue?
I was wondering how often this happens? That people just receive a prize in the mail without any warning?
Sonic Direct comp
Nothing against the organisers here but I've received a scam message and almost fell for it so just want to warn others Entered a competition on Sonic Direct's Facebook page for a Dyson vacuum cleaner. Got a reply on my shared post saying I'd won and to check their profile. What I didn't see at first was that the post was…
Compliment and Entered Buttons missing?
As the title suggests my compliment and entered/skipped buttons are suddenly missing. There were fine when i was here yesterday. Is it just me (can't see anyone else mentioning it) or is it a glitch affecting everyone?

Mag Daily compers
If you work from your own bookmarks etc then just be aware that the end dates of some comps have been changed or ended early recently
Auto correct
Just noticed a post I replied to using my computer. I used the word "with in" but with out the space. For some reason it kept changing to writing. Is this a feature on the forum?
Looking for IG users to tag in competitions please :)
Hello everyone!I'm looking for a few people to tag in instagram competitions as all the IG comps require you to tag friends in and I have none to tag, so I would like to find a few who would be ok with me tagging them and they are welcome to do the same for me too. My account is @strawbubbi - let me know if it's ok and…
Rude Twitter Private Messages
Yesterday had a really explicit mucky DM on Twitter with an invitation to click for more :o . No-one I follow, just one of those random messages / spam that occasionally happen when comping. Not that I've had any for a long time. But then, this morning, another. Not quite as explicit, tho I'm sure it would have been if I'd…
cars caravan prizes- insurance value?
Howdy peeps, just having a wander around MSE again, after a while away in real life (and getting a new job, yay, at last!) One thing i was always curious about, was insuring large value prizes - eg, a car, caravan etc. As the winner didn't pay for x item, how could they prove any (financial) loss, if it later gets stolen…
Where is Laks?
I'm sorry if this has been posted elsewhere but where is Laks? Is she on holiday, is she poorly or has she left the forum? I do miss her and I hope she is OK? Xxx
Is it worth creating a new Facebook account for comping?
I've been toying with the idea of creating a Facebook account purely for competitions although I recently read that they can delete and block your accounts...Has this happened to anyone on here? Or are there ways around it? I don't want to post on my personal one as I feel it would be so much spam to friends and family.
ITV pin
Ive somehow forgotten the Pin on the ITV comps. I cant find a way to get a new one or to contact ITV. Ive looked in the FAQ's and Help. Anyone else had this problem or any tips for me? Thank you!
Mag Entries
I can’t do Take A Break entries for 6 months is that any TAB entry or just the ones over £500 if just the ones over £500 cash can l just leave them ones blank
When will they add the tick and cross buttons back?!
In the old forum, you used to be able to at least put a cross on posts without having to actually click on them. This made going through the forum much easier and quicker. Since they've redone the forum I asked about this feature and they said it was being worked on, however months later and it's still not there and it's…
