Real or not - Argos - text saying I’ve come 3rd
Hi - I’ve had this text message from Argos saying I’ve come 3rd and click on to link. It doesn’t look right. But I’ve only just started comping after many years of not. So I’m super excited if I have won, but thought I should get this checked out by all you lovely professional compers! Many thanks
I’m new to this - Is this call a scam?
Hi all! I’ve only been coming a few weeks, today I got a phone call from 01908 041 550 a company called CLC World I think she said. She said I’d filled out a survey via InStyle (I could have I don’t remember) and that is won a holiday excluding flights to Tenerife or costa del sol. Then she confirmed my details (she had my…
Can I claim compensation?
Hi, I’m back on this board after a long time looking for advice please. I recently won a competition which was for VIP tickets to an event for me plus some friends. It included a 2 course meal and I think a welcome drink. We found out through social media weeks before the event that they had moved the location and were no…
Lack of comps
Has anyone noticed that there doesn't seem to be as many comps? I used to spend all day comping and now done in a few hours. I suppose all companies are feeling the pinch
Anyone else having problems with the Search function today?
Just logged into to do some comps and the current search by end date method is bring up an 'somethings gone wrong page' I can go into the search page but as soon as I hit search, that page loads. Anyone else? Could this mean Search is being fixed as we speak??
End date comper and the new forum !!!!
Hi as someone who comps by end date, I am really hating this new forum, and in particular the lack of notification on search results as to whether I have entered a particular competition or not, like we used to have on the old forum. Everything is taking twice as long, as I have to open each comp discussion to see if I…

Please be kind
There’s been a few unkind & unnecessary comments on various posts over last few weeks. Please let’s be kind to each other, none of us know what’s going on for each other in our real lives. Thank you & hope you’re all having a winning year so far :)
Anyone ever won anything from the ITV winsday FREE ticket?
ITV allow you to gain free tickets (by watching ads) which can go towards entering a comp for free. I was wondering if anyone ever had a winning ticket?

Polls
Probably just me being daft, but I will ask anyway. If I go to advanced search, one of the things to search by is 'poll', yet when I am posting this thread, I cannot see where to add a poll. Am I just missing the obvious? I wasn't really thinking of adding one. Just surprised nobody had started one on the lines of 'do you…
ADVENT COMPETITIONS/ SKIPPING POSTS
I know it is a long way away but how to skip without opening every single post when you are not interested in entering. I'm just thinking what's going to happen if we have to open every post in order to skip it at the time of the advents. The little flag on the left ?
Take a break puzzle magazines regularly updated thread question
Hi, Desperately trying to navigate this new forum and have a question regarding the above.
