    Don't want to bump any threads so is there anyone who can explain what I am doing wrong on FHM trying to collect points?

    I click round the site like a mad thing and even post comments - over a couple of months I have 19 points!

    Today I clicked on a dozen articles and got ONE point.:eek:

    There is a comp on there I really want to enter, ends 26/10 and I need another 98 points:mad:

    If you are using Firefox there is no need to click on links just use the add on Multi links to open up multiple links into new tabs and you will soon accumulate points ;)

    a good place to start
    http://www.fhm.com/girls/100-sexiest-women (over 100 links) open them in batches of 10-20 don't open up too many or your browser will crash :(

    edited to say I think you only get the points when you click on new links so if you click on links that you have clicked on before you may not receive any points

    Best of Luck :)

    Update On Thanks/Being Logged Out Issue:

    It turns out that it is only affecting people using the 'Old' version of MSE. *rolleyes*

    I've sent a PM to MSE Ian, but considering that they only seem to be doing upgrades for the 'New' version, I'm not holding my breath. *rolleyes*

    Not sure why they're being all stingy with the points suddenly :eek:. Perhaps there's a glitch? I've found even refreshing the page usually gives you a point, clicking to another part of the site / another page, (including entering a comp!) = 2, and comments can be 5 -10, even if they're really bland or pointless, e.g. "Crikey!" rather than watch the video. may be worth ahving another go later?
    Good luck :beer:

    omg, I was getting logged out all the time yesterday, never even thought it was a glitch, was just madly checking all my setting - duh....
    My light may be on, but that doesn't always mean I am looking at the PC - I am far more likely to be cuddling or feeding Tianna atm, so please don't think I am ignoring you if I don't reply quickly :)

    Our Precious Baby Tianna has now joined our Family, she is much loved and very welcome, xxx
