    Totally agree with you Katemoz. Simples. New Topic View & you don't get any bumping.

    To answer op original question. It would be nice not to duplicate comps - thats the only thing I would want from a programme, so that it flagged up a particular comp. I really don't want to know how many I enter:rotfl:

    Its difficult keeping up with what you have entered and would need to factor in Twitter & Facebook comps now

    The spirit of this forum is that people help each other - and if this got off the ground could be very useful - good luck with it.
    The @competitionclub on twitter is doing a great job of getting twitter comps sorted.

    I think there needs to be a seperate "forum" for chat, not just one thread. I don't tend to look at the thread. Based on that, I and many others would miss things like this. You look at a thread generally because of the title, and it takes your fancy.....

    I think we have scared the OP off though....

    I agree.. and people should not be telling (or demanding) people not to post, unless they are a Moderator, Admin or Board Guide.

    I think the O/P is offering something that this site could benefit from, even though its not a comp.. (Futhermore its not a major issue for this to be moved to the correct section).

    O/P: I have DM'd you also :)

    Please DON'T post any updates on THIS forum.
    This forum is for posting competitions.

    Might do well to learn some manners when speaking to people on here or dont post yourself - just a thought :)

    Thanks for the @competitionclub mention - nice to know my hard work is being appreciated. x
    Not really comping any more as too ill - but hoping to win £1000+ in 2017 in cash prizes - watch this space!
  • I'd like to see have not entered button. I click on thanks and enter but also find some that appear often that I click on thinking its a new one only to find its one for a voting comp on fb / no flights / one night stay in hotel etc.

    So would like to be able to thank the OP but also have a red tick to indicate not entered.

    I keep all entered comps in an excel spreadsheet. Nothing fancy just a list.

    Would be happy to try out any of your new ideas.
    Thanks to those that post the comps!!

    little wonder

    Little Wonder???? - it would seem from what I have read, that Nobody else except you has done anything to put the O/P off by telling them that they can;'t post in here.. This is as I have said is a public forum, and until such times as Admin/Mods or BG say "Don't post" we are users of this site have the right to post.
