Hi calash, had the exact same problem. I posted on the postal/text/phone thread yesterday #2393 and further down (only because I received no reply here).

Thought i was the only one with this problem. I still cant enter via the website but I have been able to enter via text this morning.

That's when you enter via text. If you enter via website it asks you to reply YES to confirm entry.

Not really as they are all sites to avoid because they generate spam the excerpt below is taken from the excellent comping guide posted by Velvetglove which makes very good reading if you are a newcomer to the MSE competitions forum as it advises on all aspects of comping

Comping guide see: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1014121

10 Are there any sites, from experience, which are likely to generate lots of spam?
There are a few which have come to our collective attention as sites that, when used for comps, seem to generate lots of unwanted postal, email & phone call attention. These are listed below for your information, however, please do remember that this is only the collective opinion of other MSE Compers & does not necessarily reflect upon the sites themselves.

Thanks for that I won't be signing up with those.
The one I tried is offerX with the their TV quiz.

Can I ask why the GMTV comps (not the TV ones) have (daily) in the title?

Would it not be better to put Multiple Entry or something with these type of comps? As daily suggests it can only be entered once per day to me.

I think the Channel 4 ones are Multiple Entry too...anyone confirm??

Plus I think it saves the same question being asked in every thread about how many entries.

Not getting at walwin who just posted the GMTV comps (am very grateful) just making some suggestions

Anybody having this problem...

I used to use the Thread Tools - email this page option if I found a comp that I thought a friend might be interested in. Since last week I've noticed this doesn't let me do it anymore! I get the following error message...

amsquared, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I think this may be since the last Forum update but not sure.

I think what you say is a very good idea maybe the posters could just change the title slightly example for the GMTV comps they could put (5x Daily) in the title and for unlimited entries (Ux Daily) this in theory could be done for most of the comps where you are allowed more than one entry not just the daily ones

The channel 4 ones are now single entry - well, you can enter as many itmes as you like but it will only count as one entry per person. They changed the T&Cs a month or two back

I think the reason the GMTV ones are listed as dailies, is because it is easier for people to just add a click daily rather than sit and enter multiple times in one go.
