I agree. I have not been comping actively for several months and as I have some time on my hands, I thought I would try and get into it again and was working my way through the wow factor ones first.

Just started doing the facebook and Twitter comps, I understand they can contact you if you win through facebook/twitter rather than through your email, it's just I'm unsure where to check for these, any help would be great, thanks.

I don't do facebook, but I do Twitter. If you win on twitter, either they will send you an @message, in which case, you will see it if you click on "mentions", or they will send you a DM, in which case you will see it if you click on "messages".

Hi everyone

Just to let you know we'll be making a couple of text tweaks to the sort buttons at the top of threads tomorrow. This shouldn't affect your use of the Forum but if you do see any issues could you let us know by replying on this thread?

Thanks!

you can click on the 'End Date View' button which will put them in date order (orders by the end date of a comp with the furthest away first)

im afraid this is no longer possible since ITV got smart with html/naming/stringythingy whatever it is of the boxes as each time you now visit the same page the field name is different, so for e.g realdeal this friday the terms box would be like

ctl05$ctl13$cda80d3d-9c36-40da-979b-bd6499d822ce$0:chk

and next fridays would be like

ctl05$ctl13$cda80d3d-9c36-40da-979b-yd6469d825ce$0:chk

and there is no way to have RF identify different characters/strings - i know bc i've asked ;(

I feared that would be the answer.

My system is to open up x amount of identical tabs (new tab url addon in firefox or standard feature with avant browser) and use a different identity for each phone number.

A winning message on Facebook will arrive in your 'Other' inbox - to find this, go to 'Home' and then click 'Messages' in the left hand menu. An 'Other' option will appear underneath it - this is where any messages from non-friends/promoters will go.

Anyone else finding the forum slow at the moment, or is it just me I wonder? I click on a comp. to open it and it seems to take quite a bit longer than usual for the page to load. (It could just be my cluttered up p.c. of course!).
