    I was wondering if many MSE users have won much via take a break? The reason I ask is because I was told today (maybe I am slow lol) that websites can find out where you came from before you enter their comp! So in comps like this, Take a Break would know I came from MSE and therefore they may well think I did not buy their mag and did not complete the puzzles myself! I am now worrying that other sites might think the same and discard our entries ans they know we have shared answers etc. What are your thoughts? I'll post on the discussions board too a not sure I should post this here? x

    Hi,BabbityBee
    I cannot find the links but I'm sure I have seen quite a few MSE winners.If you are worried that they will be able to tell that you have found the comp on MSE just enter via their home page & not via the links on here.
    Failing that use Firefox & drag the links to the address bar.

    hiya, been lots of winners from tab & the other weekly mags :D
    if you search the IWIWIW board you'll find them,

    if you have the
    http://www.takeabreak.co.uk/competitions

    on you own favs & log into the site you're only entering from your own profile (if you get what i mean)
    so you just have to type/paste/copy the answers :D

    though i imagine if you copy/paste the whole link from here to say by example on facebook they could proberly tell its been lifted/copied :)
    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png

    Hi,
    I have just entered this week's Take a Break and it got me thinking so I posted this below...

    hi, if you click on the 'thanks' & 'entered' button for tttjay's post giving you all the answers you'll know you've entered the comp
    that way you don't have to bump the post to say thanks :)
