Competitions Discussion Thread Part 14

I really need to start doing competitions - I love them! I'm generally quite "unlucky" so feel that lady luck might shine on me in these!

I think they must be assigned, seen a couple of people with them today.

Hey

Basically, just go to the competition tab, and scroll through the comps you like

When you've entered it, you'll see on the thread it has a 'thanks' tab (click it) and an 'enter' tab - click enter and a green tick will come up, so you'll know if you've already applied for that competition.

Best to set up another email address as sometimes you get some spam, but mine hasn't been that bad to be honest, just always watch those tick boxes!!! That will state about giving your details to third parties

If you download a trial of Roboform http://download.cnet.com/RoboForm/3000-18501_4-10037672.html
and with this, you fill it out, and when there is a competition where you need to enter all your details, you click the roboform tab which will end up on your toolbar, and it will automatically fill it out for you. Just always double check because sometimes it can do it wrong Sometimes it wont do it at all and you'll have to fill it out the good olf fasioned manual way :rotfl:

Set up a Facebook account - some people have MSE in their facebook name so we know who they are. There are SO many competitions on there!! I only just started doing it and it's fully loaded!!!!!

Don't expect to win! You'll only put yourself down for disappointment.

Hope that helps.

PS. TONIQ - just realised you meant the newbies pictures lol
