i [think] i got this question that i am [pretty] sure hasnt been mentioned here before so here goes

i found this competition, it doesnt appear on here as currently open, it is in the game over section twice, but its got no real end date, its ongoing with a "one-off" entry status, so once you've entered it you cant or shouldnt do it again.

now theres about 500 thanks for the previous two postings last august, but what about for those new since then and have not had the chance to enter it, can i post it again ?

and if so whats the best subject date to put for it ?

Have they never had any winners then?? Just ongoing? Or is there a monthly prize drawn with only 1 entry per person?

If it's the latter, then it needs to go in with reg comps. If it's the former, then yes, it can be reposted with a guessed end date (perhaps end March? ) but make it clear in the post that it's been posted before. and include links to any previous postings so that people can check whether they've entered already

thanks CC

i've hunted around their site and theyve never listed a winner for it, so i am going to go for month end option and also link to the old listings

i have emailed them and asked what the end date is and will amend accordingly if i get any more info

Maybe this is the right place - not really sure where to post lol ????

Can anyone help with roboform ?? It looks ok when you start up (and has been working fine up until now), but when you open up another tab, or click on a link on a tab (if that makes sense) it just disappears. (in mozilla/firefox)

I'm sure there's a simple anwer, but I haven't got a clue, help please anyone!!!!!!

Really am learningeveryday lol, and don't where to start with this one ???

Hi learningeveryday A good place for this kind of question (with a bit more foot traffic than the Guide!) is the Comp Discussions thread - another sticky thread at the top of page 1

To get your Roboform back when it goes missing on your browser, I usually right click on the Roboform icon near to my clock in the system tray (mine is a green computer wearing a pair of dark glasses!). Then I choose the option to 'Show Toolbar'.

Hope that works for you?

learningeveryday

Hi velvet, thanks for replying ! Will have a go in a sec, roboform is a bit weird sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Fingers crossed it gets back to normal.

Have a good evening :cheesy:

Yeah I've found it seems to have a mind of its own sometimes.... it is at the top mostly but some windows it jumps down to the bottom & some it just plains vanishes on so I have to click to get it back :rotfl:

Still, I wouldn't be without it though, as it saves so much time!

Not sure if Im in the right place but is there a way to keep your display options the same instead of having to do it every time you do your comps. Is there an easier way than having to set your options everytime and then hunt for the last comp you entered please? Its not as if the pages stay the same because when comps are moved over all the numbering alters. TIA

Hey Chick, I've added it into the Guide now. Sorry it took me so long!

Serious question: Can I bombard someone with PMs to annoy them when they annoy me by pointlessly bumping competitions from days ago?

Like today, 5.45PM - I'm trying to work through todays new competitions and, lo and behold, the Real People comps and That's Life comps from yesterday have been bumped by people simply saying Thanks or Good luck or whatever! To name but a few.

Why?! :mad:

Perhaps if everyone who ends up looking at comps three or four times over because they have been bumped, PMed the bumpers, they would get the message and stop doing it?

Sorry for rant but it takes me long enough to get through a days comps in the evening without having to go through ones i've already been through!!!

Edit: Take a Break issue 10 from 2 weeks ago has also been bumped! 2 damn weeks!
Edit again: Sunday PM someone has bumped a TAB comp from 6th March. And the OP has thanked them for it. WHY?! On both counts. Are they extracting the urine?!
