    I always opt out but still got a phonecall yesterday from some finance company that said 'we understand you are looking to change your mortgage and raise funds for X Y and Z' Ummmmmmmmm no.....

    I look forward to coming home to see if there are any prizes in the post too. Even a small prize is nice to come home to after a hard day.

    We are definately getting more and more comps posted. I am only keeping up because I am off work with an injury just now. When I go back to work I will have to be more picky. I have comped for quite a long time now and I am very resistant to doing anything that feels like a chore. I find this site the quickest and easiest to comp on because most posters give the answers.

    I usually opt out, especially postal - unless I am interested in the product/company then I accept email.

    Doesn't *seem* (fingers crossed) to have affected my wins.

    I tend to opt in, as then I get details of future competitions.

    I have an email address for comps, so I don't mind a bit of junk mail, although most sites don't send very much.

    Copy the URL of the competition page

    Then highlight the Click Here on the new thread

    Click the little world with a link icon you can see in the toolbar bit where all the fonts are

    remove the http thats already inserted and then paste the competition URL in and click ok

    and voila a Click Here link

    Just found this site for finding crossword answers. I just found it very useful ~ maybe someone else will too.

    I used to use that all the time when I was at university and trying to tackle the weekly crossword in the uni newspaper. I never won though :(
