Autofill on Google Chrome
I use autofill on my chromebook. It always leaves off the first number (the 0) in the phone number bit, I've tried a couple of things but it still happens. Does anyone know how to fix this please? It is annoying and I don't always remember to add the extra 0.
Sweepstakes Den
I've been using a website which has a lot of international competitions listed, called Sweepstakes Den(sweepstakesden.com). The website now looks to be down. It may come back but does anyone else know of similar sites to use?
Testing products
Hi! I searched for a post regarding websites where you can try products for free. I couldn't find much.. Do you use those websites?
Nintendo sent incomplete prize and ignoring me

Can someone please help with signature
Hi all I hope someone with more knowledge than me can tell me where I am going wrong. I want to update my signature with the things I have won this month, but although I can see them in my settings they are not showing in my posts.

Natures menu voucher
Just a heads up to anyone who wins one of the Natures menu vouchers that have been on various competition sites recently. I won a £50 with one of the Mags dailies. When I tried to use it a £7.95 delivery charge was raised. I queried the charge with the company and they replied that in order to benefit from free delivery…
Check your emails, free cutting board- pickup London
Just spotted a free Victorinox cutting board offer in my emails, you have to pick it up by Dec 14th from their shop on New Bond Street. I assume you have to show the email, so I'm not posting it in freebies, but we probably all get a lot of the same emails by now. :p They sell similar ones for £25-£50, I'm guessing the…

I have been locked out of my account twice in one day, does anyone know why? and can this be prevented from happening? I have to keep adding a code to get my account back. :o Thanks
Reg plate lotto

Launched by UK fuel price information…

My red cross never stays, is there a bug in the system? Green ticks are fine though! I'm on mobile if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance for any replies.
Radio comp phone number
Hi all Just a question for those who have won on hits radio or greatest hits. Do they call from a number of a no caller ID? I’ve just missed a call about 3.10 from no caller ID so hoping it’s not a radio competition as would hate to miss it.
Mag dailies
Does anyone know how you are contacted by these mags if you win? Is it via email? Thanks
One Stop #FindEddy
Don't think this has been posted about as it's not coming up in searches. There appears to be a game on the One Stop website: 'Find Eddy and his family to win prizes' The link is: https://www.elf-finder.co.uk/ Unfortunately I can't open it on my laptop or my tablet and my mobile phone is knackered! So I wondered if…

Has anyone else had ad blocker problems this week? Mine seems to have stopped working for magazine dailies (among other sites). Have tried reinstalling, but no luck. Tried others - ghostery, etc. I was using Opera's own ad blocker.
Change contact details for Bauer
Is there any easier way to change contact details for every Bauer radio station than by visiting each one?
Where are all the comps?
Hi all, I used to comp here around 8 or so years ago & there were always hundreds to enter, I'd get swamped down with the amount involved; now it feels like there's so many less & there's an eerie, almost lifeless, feel to these boards. Are there more comps out there but less people posting here? Have people gone to other…
