Competitions Discussion Thread Part 10

Hi keithb,

Sorry to hear about your problems, it certainly puts a damper on a very nice win.

The best person to contact about problems with prizes is Edwin Mutton at the Institute of Sales Promotions. His email address is:

[EMAIL="EdwinM@isp.org.uk"]EdwinM@isp.org.uk[/EMAIL]

He's the expert and is very helpful.

Best of luck

Thanks very much. Did'nt think I had any option. Much appreciated.

Hi folks
I have noticed over the past few weeks that there are a lot of daily entry comps that aren't being posted in the dailies section of this forum.
This makes it awkward for me because I rarely look at the main board in 'last posted' view as I tend to enter comps in order of which are due to end the following day. If daily comps aren't saved to the daily comps section then I don't know they are there. I can't be the only person who is having this problem .
My request would be that if you post a daily competition, could you please PM Gilla so she can add it to the relevant section of the board.
Thanks xxxxx

Hi

First, apologies for posting this here....I don't know where I should post it? Perhaps one of the board guides can help, and move it if necessary?

:doh:

I have noticed that a few people have been having a similar problem to me when it comes to entering Cosmopolitan competitions - in that once you log in, the screen goes semi-blank apart from some links at the top that don't seem to work.

Well, I emailed cosmo and got the following response:

Thank you for your email and apologies for any delay in replying.

I'm sorry you are having difficulty using the website. For some reason your account had not been allocated to a user group (which is normally done automatically), hence the inability to use the site. This has now been corrected so you should have access to the website with no further problem. Please enjoy it.

Therefore, if you are having problems, my advice is to email them on:

[EMAIL="webmaster@cosmopolitan.co.uk"]webmaster@cosmopolitan.co.uk[/EMAIL]

I hope this helps some of you!

Thanks, but this will probably get moved to the comps discussion sticky at the top of the board.

I thought I was going mad but doing a comps ending run tonight I noticed that the "Thanks" button has not been working all the time!!! :eek:
I entered a load of comps on 26/8 which are coming up as ending soon, when I was doing my trawl they were un-thanked , luckily I remembered some and others were for example for Empire comps which HJB posts, which tell you've already entered. It's not specific to that date as it has happened over the last month or so.

Q. Has anyone else noticed the same problem?

I have noticed it on the odd 1 or 2 comps but I just thought it was early onset dementia.:o

Also if anyone else was having problems with Picture links, I sussed it as my Ad-blocker was preventing the pics showing so I have just disabled it for moneysavingexpert and all is again good in the world.:T (Thanks MissLinda :A for putting Clickys on your comps it has helped a lot to track the problem down)

Thanks for that, i have the same problem so i have emailed them.

The MOTD emails that were getting returned should hopefully be fixed now. They had put 'mag' instead of 'comps' in the link in the magazine. Sorry everyone, hope it's ok now.

I realise this is going to possibly sound ungrateful or petty but is anyone else finding that people in the IWIWIW are thanking people for posts that they have won from and when you look at the post they have won from they havent even thanked that post. In some cases they just say 'thanks to whoever posted' and hasnt even tried to find the post/poster. Anyway thats my moan over for the day:D
