How come the competition I posted for my company was deleted? It's a little unfair really.

hi all been on here awhile now and had a few wins, just woindering do many of you enter postal comps or do you tend to stick to onlune entry?? Or do you find postal have a better win rate as less people enter?

I would personally stick to the online, I've been doing the postals and texts for nearly a year and I've won hardly anything and the cost of the stamps really does add up, just my advise anyway

I would like to suggest an extension to the “Use a Word Template” suggestion on the recent Comping article.

I wrote a Windows tool, Dragon Drop specifically to handle this situation. Using Word is a little bit fiddly for cutting and pasting, and hogs a lot of the screen. This tool enables you to
· Right click on an item to copy it directly to the clipboard
· Allow you to drag the item with the left mouse button directly into the web form field (without first having to select the correct text, then copy it)

The information is stored personally on my computer, and I use it myself all the time. I thought I'd make it public - is anyone interested?

woo hoo good comp but what do you win:rolleyes:

Everyone's a winner with my tool! You will have more time to enter competitions, therefore increasing your chances of winning!

kanemars

Yep, you have a point there Al Mac!

As a new user I wasn't even able to put in a hyperlink of where the tool actually exists!

I'll slink away quietly... sorry for wasting your time people.

I was just wondering if anyone has any superstitions to try to get the comping fairy to come to them, and if they work, just wanted to see if i could temp the fairy my way, but i draw a line at wearing wifes lucky knickers, i run the risk of being the fairy then LOL
