Which weekly news paper was that?

I guess it must be one that doesn't produce an on-line edition.

these ones.. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/search.html?searchid=73252873

Its a weekly paper/magazine that does lots of comps, used to be phone/post entries for a long time & posted in the text/phone/postal thread, they changed the entries to online as explained in the above post, but now have put them back to postal/phone in only, so the comps will be posted in the postal thread from now on

In the Weekly News Paper..

When we began to accept entries by email during the postal disputes in October & November it was to help our loyal readers,
Unfortunately competition answers & other details are being posted on websites, encouraging hundreds, if not thousands, of non-readers to enter, Obviously a number of these will have received prizes over the past few months.
This hardly seems fair when the contests are for the benefit of those who actually buy the paper.
Therefore it has been decided email entries will no longer be accepted. We realise this will inconvenience some, but it will ensure prizes only go to genuine readers.

.

thanks for posting korky

fair enough

just a quick question.......if there's a competition for a honeymoon somewhere and you are already married....do you still enter and use it as a holiday if you win!??

Hello!
Was just filling in some take a break answers where i copy and paste the answers from the message to the entry form.
I use a freeware prog called deskpins to keep the entry form on top next to the answers so i don't have to keep opening the window again after it minimises (if that makes sense)its like a virtual pin that keeps a page topmost until you shut it.
Thought it might help out others that are lazy like me, to do a bit less clicking!!
anything to make life easier!!:beer:

Can you still have loads of tabs using that please? It sounds quite handy.

I love FIrefox, could never go back to a IE or AOL all the time now.

I found this version of the Split Screen add on for Firefox, and it seems fab, Just a right click tells the tab where to open.

Thank you again Icckle, it looks really useful, and I didn't even know you could do this.
