    like i said feel free to post or be patient and i and others will get round to posting them so instead of being direct links they are threads on mse :D

    and yes some of them (esp the fb and twitter one day only comps) i have added to the sticky without posting on mian yet. that way only those people who dont use the stickies are missing out and anyuthing new is added and colour coded for the day so people who dont use them can.... easily spot new ones...lots of people have been entering these every week without posting on main as they have seen the on fb etc. adding them to the sticky means a few more people who dont keep up on fb and/or twitter wont miss them :cool:

    im sorry that i have other things to do with my time and cant always get things on main immediately, though quite a few of them having no end date will go on regs anyway :o

    Having not used the sticky threads since Strepsy did the dailies before Gilla took over, I wouldn't know where to start, so can't offer to help, sorry!

    its no different than posting any other competition, you post it then add a link to your post to the end of the daily thread so it can be added there for the benfit of those who do use the sticky:p

    I understand that thankyou, I meant I would have no idea which of your 'sticky' comps needed adding to the main board, and which were already there, having never used the thread.

    sorry for misunderstanding :)

    im using search to check before posting any, if i find a thread great ill swap the direct link for that, otherwise ill post it:p i did have all those that were direct links noted as temporary direct links, but space was needed so i had to remove extra less important info to fit everything in :)

    OK, so at the moment most people who don't use the stickies will be missing out? Seems a shame. Hopefully you'll get some offers of help to get them onto the main board so everyone can enter. I don't use the stickies myself, but wondered where the 'I won' posts were coming from!

    I hadn't realised it was on the thread when you took it over, I thought you'd added it to the sticky without posting on main board, sorry :o

    there's been a lot of helpful suggestions over the last few days to help main board compers become aware of comps in the regs board :)

    there are links on both the weeklies and dailies stickies that are direct links to comps and I'm sure Gilla and PCL would appreciate any help offered :)

    I'm off today so have started working through some of the ongoing from the dailies sticky
    and I see PCL has posted some too :T so hopefully you'll soon have lots of new comps to enter :j

    just for anyone who hadnt seen it before, regarding the one day entry comps that glad has kindly posted now, this is the note that went in the daily thread as they got found and added to the list:

    Entry Open For One Day Only - Regularly Occuring


    Beffffff is very kindly compiling a list of these
    here as she finds them on fb ad twitter. If anyone wants to help by sharing any more you find or posting them as threads on mse to replace the direct links that would be great :)

    as beffff said in her post where she was compiling the list here
    Anyone - If you find others feel free to add them yourself. Also feel free to post these ones properly while this note is still here - I'm v short on time at the mo :)

    PS no need to thank/link to my post pcl
    :) I'm not finding many....Annoying as I always see LOADS as they are won each week but now I'm looking I've seen none for days :(

    in future maybe ill just do what every one else on facebook has done and not share them at all on mse just enter them myself and make sure my friends know about them :rotfl:

    the colour coding on the daily sticky, is a fab and mega quick way of spotting new comps,and adding them somewhere, esp as 24 hour daily comps can get moved to GO and get missed so easy on main.

    I know I try and stay around a day in front with comps ending, so I would miss these on the main board, unless I changed and comped by new threads posted.
    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 :)

    Everyone can enter, the stickies are not an exclusive club & are open to everyone ;) xx

    There seems to be a bit of a lazy attitude going on with people refusing to go to the regulars stickies. The girls are all (voluntarily) working hard to compile the regulars lists/stickies and it's obviously going to take a while to get it all up to date. I've never been a regular-regulars user myself but it doesn't take much to pop over to the stickies and look for new additions (which are colour coded by the day of addition for easiness). I for one struggle with time to enter comps but am still coping even with my little visits to the stickies. People are starting to sound a little selfish and ungrateful and expecting others to rally round them and I think that's a little unfair xx
