I only do the 'net ones,too tight to pay postage & text fees :-)

I have just started entering the net ones and also some of the postal ones with second class to keep the cost down!

Good luck:)

i only do net comps and ocasionally text ones, so it doesnt matter if you end near closing date or the date a comp is released, you have the same amount of chance of winning? so far all ive won is from the fabulous comps, hope i like the prize when it arrives

It's always said that nobody 'owns' comps and it's just the TV and Magazine ones that are left to regular posters isn't it?

Why does it matter who posts comps? Sorry....I'm new to comping.

There's two sides to it of course.We are all free to post from whatever site we choose.As AlMac says........see it.search it,post it
The problem is if the regular poster if put off from posting due to others posting & then decides not to check that site & the new poster is not as vigilant the comps may not get posted.
It's always going to be an issue and I wish no big debate to ensue but it's one to consider.
I've seen so many sites that are forgotten when a regular poster moves away.
Just my view & mine alone.

As an example when I was ill & unable to post Dr Who comps NO-ONE has messaged me or posted them in my absence, at one point I managed to get online & asked for someone to take over for a week or so but again no-one has posted them. Now I have a mag with the comps ending on 10/08 so will be posting them asap but seems about 2-3 weeks worth (average of 4 comps a week) have been missed off.

Have you tried phoning them - their phone numbers in Yellow pages or on Yell.com?

is roboform free to get? been trying to enter as many comps as possible but no wins yet except from fabulous, should i keep checking whats on tv for the comps there? any other tips to give me?

Hi there,

Roboform is free but its limited to 10 logins in the free version. If you pay that becomes unlimited, theres a chart here with the differences:

As for competitions I would imagine the majority of them make it to this site so theres no need to check whats on tv unless you really want to as someone will almost certainly post their comps here.

Its definately possible to find comps that aren't posted here with some googling and there are also other sites that list competitions etc too but im not sure if there are rules against linking other sites here or not?

ahh i want something thats free

You can use the free version fine, to fill in your details in forms, and just save login details with your browser
