Well, I've now joined Picturetrail and Flikr but neither seems willing to upload the picture .. grr!

it actually says I have already entered that competition on the 15th May ?

when you have uploaded your images to picturetrail, i think there is an option to get image URLs - are you doing this?

I always use the direct image linky

And for pictures & a step by step then go take a look in the Comping Guide as I updated it for the new site, yesterday!

Click this link to the Comping Guide as it will take you directly to the right post on the thread, then scroll down to 8 I don’t understand the Puzzler thread, there are lots of comps in there but how I do enter them?

I'm hoping someone will use it to make sure that the routes are right! If anyone does then please drop me a pm to let me know if it is OK or if it needs to be tweaked!

My god, first time on the new site, and I was about to stomp on my laptop.
Tried to find my way on my own, failed dismally, read the first thread which I really should have done in the first place, then totally failed to get the submit button.
It really doesn't like copy and paste, does it!
Now finding it much easier to find everything, but I can't believe how long it took to get there.

OK finally managed to join after lots of to-and-fro emails to their support peeps, and trying to input all the answers you've given (big thanks to all OP's)... just trailing through and noticed a few missing, can anyone help? I've tried search but nothing coming of it, unsure if it's just search playing up for me.

Thanks guys :T

Codeword 317- comp 7969 (seems to be in several sections)
Chat Arrow 53 - all comps (although Mag was only released 12/06)
Sudoku Puzzler 52- comp 7999

and does anyone do the Junior Puzzles/ Quiz Kids?
I'd offer but my nephew is still too young at 4 years bless him! Maybe in a few more!!

Sorry to be a pain (and to bump)! New to this puzzler world, never been able to join til now! (Turns out the problem was it didn't like Google Toolbar, oops!)

8 I don’t understand the Puzzler thread, there are lots of comps in there but how I do enter them?
This is going to take a while to explain so you had better get comfy!

There is a thread on the main Comps Forum called Regularly updated puzzler.com competitions which is where all the various Puzzler group magazine answers are posted. That thread makes it very simple to enter a wide range of comps that are found in the Puzzler magazines. In order to enter these comps you will need to go to the Puzzler website & register. Then you can simply log in & access the online & magazine comps.

When you've logged in select the appropriate tab, depending on whether you want to enter Online Comps ('Puzzles') or Magazine Comps ('Magazines').





Online Comps
In the menu on the left hand side of the page, click on 'Puzzles' & in the drop down list that opens, click on the name of the mag mentioned in the Puzzler thread. Then select 'Competitions' from the list of options under the mag name. (Note: It may or may not have the word 'NEW' beside it). Click onto the comp that you want to enter, (the example below shows a click on the 'BGT Board Game'). In the top right hand corner, click 'Enter'.





A new window will open with the online comp to be completed. Use the Puzzler thread to help you with the answers, if necessary & follow any instructions on the page. Some puzzles require that you click on the word in the list & then click on the grid where that word should be placed, others you simply type into the boxes on the puzzle. Once you have completed the comp, click on 'submit'.




That window will close & there is now a tick beside the comp, also the date & time that you submitted it. This makes it easier to see which online comps you have already completed. You can now enter any other comps showing or select another mag from the list.









Magazine Comps
In the menu on the left hand side of the page, click on 'Magazines' & in the drop down list that opens, click 'A-Z index'. On the right hand side of the page you will see a list of all the magazines. Check which magazine you need to fill in the answers for & then click on that magazine title.






Click on the 'Competitions' tab.





The screen now shows the entry form for the latest magazine on issue for this title. Be careful that you are entering the answers for the right issue. Check the Issue number & Comp ID with the Puzzler thread & then type in your answer. Some magazines have only 1 comp to enter, others have a few. After you have typed an answer a 'Submit' box should appear on the right hand side. Click this for your entry to be submitted, but only after you have entered all the answers you wanted to - you can't undo the 'Submit'. Then click on the 'A - Z index' again & you are ready to enter the next Magazine Comp.





Occasionally, when you enter the comps for a particular magazine you will notice that one of the answer boxes is already completed. This happens because it has been supplied with the answer from either an online comp you have completed or another puzzler magazine you have already entered. (Sometimes Puzzler runs the same comps across a few of their puzzle mags).
