    I missed it yesterday as I didn't get to the first page and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I am not debating this further, I've given my view and will leave it there.

    I just bookmark the ones I want to enter more than once :)

    I find the main board too confusing to keep up with unless I sort by Thread Start Time (and that way I don't get confused by bumps ;) )

    What I do with this comp is once I've remembered to enter the first time (and that could be a while) :p is leave the comp page up and press back - it keeps my details up and then just press send again in an hour :D hth

    Me too, bumping it back to page one only helps those people who entered an hour before that anyway. If you entered 20 minutes after the first bump it could be gone again before your hour is up.

    Chatting away also helps as I've revisited the thread now :rotfl:

    thats why i added it to dailies initially but being a new thread every day it cant be linked properly. zoold kindly added the link to the end of dailies thread for us this morning which will help anyone who starts with daily comps in the daily thread.

    bumping it will help those who work form newly posted or newly replied too.

    sadly end date people or those who otherwise dont start on the first page and who dont use dailies wont be reminded, if someone can think of a method that will remind them too then im sure we can do that so that no one can accidentally forget :p

    sadly there are a lot of one day only comps, or comps that are posted as new each day instead that we miss out on because they cant be added to dailies and end date is incorrect :( its th
    e price we pay for being in the minority and not comping by new posts :(
  • DAMN - remember ot set an alarm folks! I just missed the last hour!

  • That's a shame, it's so much easier to do 2 hours entries if you can do them back to back say at 15.55 and then 16.05. Then you only need to be at a computer once every 2 hours (almost) to guarantee your one entry per hour. They can't be doing that to increase their per hour hit rate?! Seems really mean to make you wait a full hour before you can enter again.

    Can't do that with this awkward one, different url every day :(

    I don't understand how two browsers and a clear 60 minutes gap won't let you enter ..I just leave the page open and hit the back button in FF and the forms still filled in and submits fine...just tried in just one browser and it works fine.

    Good to see a winner, and a quick notification too. Enjoy my iPad lol
