    Must admit I get a lot of those too, whether it's from this site or not I don't know. My SPAM filter on GMail catches them all, but I still have to go through them, just in case.....

  • I am the owner of Gadgets4nowt and can assure you that you were not and never will be spammed by me.

    Those who have entered my previous competitions will have received just four mails:

    19th October 2008 - announcing the winner of the iPod Touch.
    1st December 2008 - a quick reminder that there was only 10 days to go on the Wii Fit
    14th December 2008 - announcing the Wii Fit winner
    12th January 2009 - announcing this latest competition

    Every mail has an easy to use "unsubscribe" link and I take privacy very seriously. I can understand the concerns in this post but resent being linked in any way with less scrupulous sites.

    If a moderator needs to check my credentials, then I would be more than willing to oblige.

    Thanks and good luck in the competition.

    Hi Mr Gadgets, just thought you'd like to know I can't see a submit button in Firefox, all is fine in IE though.

    I am on FireFox and it looks OK to me? Is it resolved for you?

    do you mean they sell your email address on?

    Sorry for a third post but I hadn't spotted this before. I realise that the member who replied to azp74's comment appears to be well respected (and was no doubt trying to protect the members here) but that is simply not true.

    I have not, do not and never will sell e-mail addresses.

    Just taken another look and no, still no submit button, but as no one else has mentioned an issue I guess it's something peculiar to my set up, thanks for responding :D

    And as I have bumped anyway, I have entered all the comps so far and not had a spam issue with this site hth
    That ain't working! That's the way to do it, money for nothing and TV's for free ;)

    If you'd like to pm your details and chosen answer, I will make sure you are added to the lists of entrants.
