I hover over the topic title to see the content and don't bother opening the ones that require FB or twitter.

Yes i do that first, but I only get a snapshot of the opening line. Some dont mention it till further down the post xx

hiya pcl, agree there as well some of the posts just say 'enter' or
whatever the op covers the site name with as a clicky so you have to go into the clicky to find out which site it is, that's a great idea but takes time up as you say if it's a site you don't use/not a member or whatever, would be helpful if they put the home page on as well

Yes i agree, about both.

I would love them to have (facebook) or (Twitter) in the title.
Or.... as they are getting more & more popular, not sure why they cant have a sticky under the postal & text threads, then they can go all in one place so other people who enjoy doing them, can go straight to the sticky?

With regards to the click here, or clicky.
I always tend to type the name of the site, i dont post that many, one of the comps i do post i always make my *LOVE YOUR HAIR* clickable..lol

Just got my copy of todays Best magazine.There are some money off coupons in for the next 4 weeks.Pity 2 of them are on the back of the entry form.If you want to use the money off coupons, you can't use the entry form, and vice versa.

I'd go with this,as this is much as I post.I think it makes it clearer for everyone plus when the comp is hovered over in page view it is possible to see what site is listed.If this method is used I can give any comp site that is problematic a miss eg "Bliss" always gives me problems.
It is easier to do this if the link clicky is the first line posted.
We all post in different ways though.I think even if the posters name was removed a lot would still be identifiable.

I always try to use the central part of the url as my clicky, the bit without the www. and .co.uk
So hoping it helps when people search and avoid people duping the comps i have posted.

Yes, I've had problems too. I've tried emailing to ask if they're still in operation, but shock horror, no reply
