Competitions Discussion Thread Part 9

Ms_Chocaholic

Thanks for that Kitty, you weren't sticking your nose in at all, thanks for your help.

What do I do with that page now to keep it, do I just save it to my PC?

Cheeky_Chicken

Yes, just press your print screen button & save it into any wp proggy - wordpad will do fine

KittyPryde

You could save it on your favourites as a webpage. Or you should have a button on your keyboard which says 'PrtSc' which means print screen (takes a screen shot). If you press that button, then open a word document then right-click and 'paste' you will have a picture of it saved.

Let us know what they say. gl

edit, yeah do what cheeky says

Barnabysue

Hope it works out for you MsC, glad you managed to get a copy of the page. I just thought it would help to have proof of what they were promising, let us know how you get on.

Ms_Chocaholic

Thanks for all your help in helping me get the web page saved, it worked, that's so cool.

Will email her shortly and will post when I get a response.
Thank you
Ms C xxxx

Hi guys,

Just to post some important info re Shortlist comps for people who entered in the last couple of days...

Shortlist comps important info
I'm posting this on the Shortlist comps which I posted yesterday, as it is rather impotant info and people may want to enter again to be on the safe side...

Important info if you've entered a comp since Tues 17th Feb

Posted: 19 February 2009, 11:02

Dear ShortList reader and competition lover,
Some of you may think of the ShortList offices as a glorious, infallible, impenetrable citadel, unaffected by external influences or threats. Alas, this is only 99% the case. Since the evening of Tuesday 17th Feb, we have been experiencing extreme internet difficulties not of our making. We have been creative and industrious to ensure that our service to you, both in print and online, will not be affected, but there is one problem that we have no control over...
We have been unable to receive any emails, and this includes competition entries. We don't know yet if they'll arrive, like the cavalry, in one glorious charge, or slip silently like ninjas into our inbox, or whether they'll disappear into a barren nothingness, never to be read. So, in case it's the last of these, we would ask anyone who has submitted a competition entry since Tuesday to email us again. We apologise for the inconvenience, but you never know, it could be the best email you ever sent!
Apologetically yours,
Andrew Dickens
Editor - ShortList.com:"

Thanks for the info Martins Doll. Have sent all mine again from yesterday so here's hoping!

Need some advice from the experts, please

I got an email today with this comp on it, but the Ts and Cs here say that you can only enter by invitation only.
Should I post it anyway? (the comp is for a VW Golf or £14k )

Cheeky_Chicken

I honestly don't know I mean you can navigate to the comp from the homepage without the email, but I don't recall seeing the invitation only clause before - perhaps that relates to placing an order, and if you're not entering via the NPN you'd be invited to enter after placing an order in which case I'd say post it, but I can't imagine them being happy about it being on here tbh :cool:

Thanks cheekychicken

I'm on their mailing list as I've ordered flowers from them before, so I'm not sure whether they are "inviting" non-customers (i.e. who have just signed up to the mailing list without ordering) to enter the draw.

Maybe I'll leave it.

Cheers
