Type Clicky. Highlight it. Then click the little icon that looks like a globe and a paper clip, paste your link in the box that pops up and its done

Hello folks

quick question is it ok to use a mobile number in comps rather than a landline

Yes, I don't see why not. I never give my landline out.

Re "bots", there was a competition that I entered recently, where you had to play a game involving moving pieces around (a bit like a computerised jigsaw puzzle), people had got really quick times doing this (under two seconds) and someone suggested that as it was a comp on a techie board, perhaps the entrants who had got these quick times had used "bots" to do the puzzle for them. Perhaps it is this type of thing that the OP meant in their question.

this might seem an odd question but if i log in to this board and some new posts i do not open will they still be dispayed as that i have not read them as i am sure yesterday there were some i did not open but next time i logged in it said i did?

toniq

when u logged in yesterday those posts were highlighted as they were new since ur last login,
Because u have now logged in, they wont be highlighted as they r no longer new to u, u had seen them on ur last login.

hope that makes sense xx

hope i'm posting this in the right place?
i recently won a comp for a 2 night stay in a large chain of hotels. i received an email with the details of how to claim the prize. when i scrolled down i realized that at the bottom of the email was a copy of an email sent by the comp organisers to the hotel chain which included the names, addresses and email of ALL 10 winners. the hotel chain obv realized their mistake as they sent another email 'recalling' the email.
my question is what if anything should i do?

thank you in advance

Personally I'd do nothing, people make mistakes, and they have obviously realised their mistake.

hi all,

just wondering if anyone had stumbled across this comp? http://www.trollspotters.com/

can't find much info and found it by accident! can't see it on the boards, but don't want to post it up as I can't find out more about it

please feel free to post if you can understand it!!!

Is it the same idea as haggis hunting?

hi lilias,

i think it is the same premise as haggis hunting, but can't find any t&c - perhaps I'll post it up anyway and let folks make their own minds up

thanks for your help
