Competitions Discussion Thread Part 10

itsinthemail

Does anyone remember seeing a competition (in the last couple of weeks) for Disney's UP where you played a game and you had to go to different continents and find the location of the string of balloons? I thought I'd bookmarked it for when I had a bit more time - but I didn't. I've searched everything I can think of, but none of the hits are the right comp.
Cant remember what the prize was either

hmm, some 'oldies' can be a bit abrupt & rude as well,
does a post really need bumping just to comment on an extra comma being put in a prize address ?
eg: i typed..

(Theme Park Tickets - 4 x £50.00 family tickets to Gullivers Theme Parks, Warrington, Matlock, Bath & Milton Keynes)
mistakingly putting a comma between the matlock & bath, considering all the time it takes to do the puzzles,typing & checking have posted answers best i can, does it really matter that a comma was put there by mistake ?
surely someone could just pm me to point it out instead of bumping it from about 10 pages back just for that ?
& would have thought if anyone was interested in the prize they would google 'gullivers' to check it out anyway :sad:

Bolding mine Oh yes, I agree with that, but they tend to get commented on by other oldies! Some people can be a bit picky, specially when an answer is spelt incorrectly, not by the OP but by the site themselves and it's just copied over as the answer to give. The poster hasn't bothered to look at the site to see what it's all about but just moans it's not spelt right! Check first then comment!
PM'ing is a good idea and i've started to go that but I admit it's not always my first thought. I don't reply if a comp has finished I just hit the expired button now but a lot of people haven't got the hang of that one yet!
I'm a moaner in my old age :rotfl: - well if 36 is old! I openly admit I'm a moaner and I'm also nosy so like to know what's going on! :cool:

hi, yes, but the thing is it wasn't an answer to the puzzles, it was just the prize details !

newbies don't have expired buttons. Should we just ignore it if we see one and wait for someone with a button to click it instead of bumping please?

You could private message a board guide to move to GAME OVER, I often do this myself even though I have the Expired button as it is sometimes quicker :rolleyes:

Best of Luck
