    If you want to do the comping challenge the thread is a sticky at the top of this board.
  • Thanks for the input guys :) I must admit i usually only buy the local paper if one of the kids pics is in there, never really thought of comps in there

    I would like to say thank you to all the new people who are starting to post comps. They are very welcome contributions.

    It's a great atmosphere in here and it makes entering the comps all the more fun.

    Yes, thanks from me too. :T There have been lots of good new ones and not so many duplicates lately either, they were getting a bit out of hand. People must be getting used to the temperamental search function. lol
