Competitions Discussion Thread Part 10

Jemma the way i do them is.........

I check the time when i last logged in then go back to the last comp that was posted before then, the new comps posted since i last logged in are in a bolder type than the ones ive already read, itms

Or you can lose the next 4-5 days of your life and enter every comp on the board lol


or............

have two tabs open one for the page of comps your doing then the other for page one of comps newly listed then keep refreshing it

Oooh, wll give that a go! Thank you! Although I wouldn't mind losing the next 22 days until buby is due. I feel like a beached whale! xxx

There are many different ways people go about entering comps! You'll probably get 10 different responses!

The way I do it is each time I come to the forums I scroll to the bottom to the display options, then I sort by "Thread Start Time" - descending:



I then work my way back through the pages until I reach the point I last got to (and I'll know this because the threads will have already been thanked by me).

I have also subscribed to all the daily competitions I want to enter so I go to my subscriptions and work through my dailies at some point throughout the day too.

Lushy beans! I will have to try all the ways to see what is good for me, hate to think that I would miss any because I'm doing it wrong! Thank you xxx

I normally do my dailies first by going to the dailies thread.

Next I work through the main thread from the first page until I get to the ones that were posted the previous day that I have already done (I bookmark and thank as I go).

Next I go to the bottom of the first page, put search thread title descending the find the ones ending the next day that way, this allows me to check any that I have missed.

Hope this helps.

Beans of lushness, I'm getting some really good tips here. Thanks people! xxx

I start from page 1 and work back until I reach where I left off the day before, but I don't enter them at that time. I have folders in my 'Favourites for each named month. Once I have saved to Favourites all of the comps that appeal, I use 'sort by name' which puts them in the correct date order and I work through them as far as I can get for the rest of the time that I have to comp.

In answer to jemma0312 I tend to do new ones that come up each day, then do the dailys afterwards. I don't do every competition but only ones that either me, or my family and friends have use for, or something I can put away for christmas for example. When it comes to the end of the month I invest a bit more time in doing them as there seems to be quite a lot of them ending on the 30th for example. Hope that helps

Do you guys enter comps more than once IE: as you, your mum, your dad, your oh etc?
Some people seem to win so much i can only guess they must be entering more than once!! (or i am just really unlucky) !

Personally I only enter comps for myself not as my mum etc only time I enter a comp as my mum is when its things like the Glamour daily
