Well have you;)

What's to know??

You find a comp & post it - if it's fiinshed or spammy or a dupe, or I forget the end date or the answer, someone will sort it out. What's with needing a guide? We just need [STRIKE]mugs[/STRIKE] people to clear up after those who can't be bothered

This was before I started comping but I thought others would be very interested in this ASA adjudication

Gives a nice insight into how these games actually work.

MSE compers were complaining on this thread here. Was it one of us who reported them? Shame ASA can't actually fine them or anything, I doubt K-C will care one bit.

The original thread is here

Thank you reniannen, I've been wondering what happened. I spent many a hour on the Andrex site. Not really a slap on the wrist though is it. :mad:

The logical answer would be that they untick the box to search the child boards and therefore the only results shown are in Competitions time, rathen than in Comps time + I Won + Regular + Game Over ....... however, I reckon it's a lot to do with people not using the regular board and therefore posting in the main board regardless of whether a search result appears in regular board :rolleyes:

omg, I do that, I always wondered why I would want to search the family section on Kids when I'm in comps....

duh, I feel dumb now, this is the first time I've seen it explained. May.be it could go in the comps guide as well

:rotfl::rotfl:

It's not just you - I've only just realised when reading what you wrote that the 'child' mentioned is the subsection!!

Never really thought about it before though - my search is usually not too bad but then I've never bothered unticking it either

Mine does that sometimes but clicking on refresh (usually) fixes it.

Er, it already is in the Comping Guide

Comping Guide > Posting Comps Section > 2 How do I search to see if a comp has been posted?
