Yeh! especially the ones that say "congratulations" in the header but when you open it up you find that someone else has won

Oh gosh, yes. I've had plenty of those.

I have no clue A, Just know what oh told me last night, it's part of the upgrades, he advised me to type every magazine answer in as they will know if I have/or haven't.

I presume with regards to the Data Protection act that the magazine publishing group in question will have to disclose there use of the software and will also have to give some sort of warning to entrants

so I don't think that there is any need to worry about this just yet!

My oh has a major publishing/magazine group as a client, can't name them obviously, they are about to utilise keyloggers as part of their updates, which means if you copy and paste answers they might see you as an automated entry site, you will need to type in every magazine answer yourself to circumvent this.

It's already here - see Easiyo comp from July https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3330786

If you use form fillers such as Roboform it won't accept your entry as it thinks you are a 'bot' - you have to type out all your details.

Strange I still use Roboform on The Easiyo comps and my entries go through OK

the only message that I receive is "Your entry has been sent successful, please keep an eye on the winners page"

I wonder if it's because I don't disclose that I have come from mse by not sending a referral link when I enter?

These are usually hosted on wildfire for facebook and twitter competitions. They obviously need listed seperately and the source url found.
I'd suggest feel free to track them down and post them, but this thread needs moved to the discussion forum.

Can someone with much more experience tell me the correct way to add wins to my signature. If I put more than 4 words I get the message
"BB code size value is too big"
I have no idea what this means as other posters have loads in their signatures.

Help please!!


p.s. always optimistic I will have lots to add!!
