    Hi all, i dont know if im in the right place as im new to this! ive been comping for about 4 weeks now, at least a couple of hours a day. All my mates think i am crazy and everyone who has won on the forum all work for the companies to incourage u to enter! I been lookin forward to the post man coming to the door everyday but still nothing. I just want to proove my mates wrong, please can u giv me any tips on improving my luck thanks x kins
  • kins77 keep trying. The more you enter the more likely you are to win. You'll soon prove all your mates wrong - mine thought I was crazy too (especially my mother) until the first couple of wins came in :D

    Question from me for the other compers please......

    I've noticed that the monthly magazine, Office Secretary, which I receive at work nearly always has a competition it in. I've put the last two on here but wondered if there is a post somewhere that lists who posts certain comps (like compingcat does the ITV ones)?Just want to make sure I'm not stepping on any toes and maybe get my name added if nobody does them already:j

    Thanks guys. Chrissy

    Morning guys - I've made the ref control box in FF not show where I am coming from on all links I click (only use FF for comping) but since then I haven't won a single thing at all - wasn't really doing too good before but am wondering if its making a difference? Does anyone else have their settings like this and still winning - meaning that I'm just unlucky?

    Thanks

    It's not a good idea to use the ref control in FF to block referrals as some referral links are needed in multiple paged comps

    if you are using FF left click on the comp link and drag and drop it into a tab or the address bar to hide the referral link

    I use this method all of the time and win consistently ;)

    Best of Luck :)

    I have mine set to Forge and have still been winning :)

    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 :)

    Hi

    The current Magic Mix Up details belong to ls19 (i.e. little L then s19)

    They've got until 3pm to claim their £30 but haven't been on MSE for about 6 weeks so probably won't get the PM I've sent and I don't have any contact details

    If anyone knows ls19 - please can you contact them asap?
