Do many of you post with multiple email addys? If you do how long DO you spend posting. I've only been away a 36 hours, and its just taken me a couple of hours to catch up. (I did get side tracked on one or two of the sites though)!!!!!!!!

I think that is a good idea

It's sometimes hard to tell if you need to register unless you're not. I'll be honest I'm not going to search around and see if I can log out just to check if others will need to register or not. It might seem like a lot of work* in the beginning but most of the ones you register on have weekly/monthly comps that you'll want to enter next time so you're missing out on an awful lot if you don't want to register.

*Work used in its loosest form here. Comping should be fun, if it's not then you're going to end up frustrated.

Oh that's a point - I haven't updated it :doh:

Must go and do that then

I know, I know - waste of time but.....

I was watching the quiz programme on ITV - the answers were so easy so I thought I would have a govia the web. I noticed that it took a long time to complete the form with the same details when you wanted to enter. So I took the webpage code and adjusted it to enter all the common info each time. I couldn't get past the security image so that needs entering each time but that is the only piece left to enter each time.

Do you think they would get upset about entering like that - just saves my typing - not getting anything extra and can't enter more than 150 times a day - I can just do it quicker.

Any thoughts

Another subject

I do not like registering when I do competitions. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Does anybody think the subject of each competition could be posted as E:01/02/07R if regestering is required?

I would be happy to do that. The only thing I would say is that you will exclude yourself from a lot of comps if your don't register. Some of the small sites especially like you to register and often there comps have lower entries which means more chance of a win.

A lot of compers keep a seperate email address for comping, so all the newsletters/ general unwanted emails that go with registration go in there. I don't (not really sure why :rolleyes: ) , so have to go through loads of emails when I sign on. With experience you learn which ones to delete straight away.

Oh good, I'll take a look.



Does anyone think it would be worth having a tie-breaker sticky thread? It's just that with tie-breakers/longer answers you may not want to enter straightaway and have a good think about it and then knowing the search function may not be able to find it again or will forget. I think it would be helpful to me but obviously we've been gaining stickies quite quickly lately so there's not point asking for another if it wouldn't be used.

Hi all,

I have just tried to post a small competition on the competitions page but it will not let me post the attached link.

On my personal page it does state that I am not allowed to post attachments, can anybody tell me why this is??

I would have liked to make a small contribution to the many competitions that get posted every day, for which I am very grateful:beer:

Thanks

small, how do you do that? I like to enter the Deal Or No Deal one but it drives me mad entering the details that autofill misses everytime. If I could do the 30 only having to enter the security pic that would be fantastic.
