sorry people

Sorry crazy_chick, not meaning to pick on you it's just that you're online now. We want you to enter lots of comps and win lots of stuff. We're a very friendly bunch honestly. There's just issues that come up occasionally with forum etiquette I guess you could call it.

no it's ok i know what you mean. i started doing a few because they kept popping up and i couldn't remember if i done them or not and then i thought i might as well do all of them.

Please don't do all of them, just start using the Thanks button & try to recognise the titles of some of the ones you have entered. If you can't remember, you will have to click on it & see if you have used the Thanks button or not

can I also just say sometimes it is upsetting when you (me not you itms) post a comp and people get quite nasty because it has already been posted

Crazy chick, If you click the thanks button it disappears when you return to the post. You can see at a glance if you have entered.

it was just ones that kept popping up but now i've got to page so i don't need to do it any more

Thanks









................:D sorry couldn't resist. Thanks for bringing this up, i realise i have been a bit free and easy with my comments recently! I'll try and curb that in the future unless it's important, coz it can be annoying :rotfl:

Happy comping

Prudent

Is it just me misreading replies or were the reasons for all those thanks totally self centered at the expense of the inconvience to other compers?

i usually say if a comp has been posted but always (well i think i do) put a so the person knows i am doing it to be friendly, not horrible. Once i did it and i got a snippy post back, to which i pm-ed the person explaining that i wasn't being mean, merely pointing out that duplicate posting can invalidate your entry for some comps. It was a very friendly pm and i urged them to stick around, but they never replied so i guess they took the huff, never seen them on the board since. Guess I must be really mean.

p.s thanks strepsy for being subtle

Hi all,
I've just read your post strepsy and i thought it was very tactful although i have to admit i'm one of the occasional guilty ones too. :rolleyes:

It does raise the question i raised in my earlier post of suggestions to make the comps board easier/tidier. I thought the idea of sub-categories such as by the expiry month with a additional category for comps until they are seven days old. I like the idea posted earlier about having the daily & monthly comps seperate too.

I know the new mse is launching soon so is it likely that some of these changes will be included?
