love captcha boxes, especially when the words are in arabic or something similar !

anyone had this before, im so glad you can change it to something easier lol

This happens me too. I have just entered a comp and the 2nd captcha word was a photo of a tree!! Luckily it submitted with just the one word.

Could anyone tell me when you get an email saying you have won, does it say it in the subject line or do you have to click onto the message, if so where abouts does it tell you, you have won, I get so many emails and really don't want to loose out if I have won, I have had no luck at the moment and just think I am jinxed....thank you.:(

Wems (winning emails) usually say congratulations or winner in the header (but not all of them) some say the words in the body of the email

It might be a good idea to set a filter in your email with the words "congratulations" and "winner" and set the above for both "subject" and "body"

I have these words set in a filter so that when any mail arrives with these words the emails are automatically filtered into a folder called "Competition Prizes"

it does give some false positives but as an added bonus by filtering the word winner you also get to see the winners of competitions as well

you can also use filters to find competitions to post by setting a filter for the words "prize" "draw" "win" "competition" and set the above for both "subject" and "body" and filter them into a folder called "Competitions"

the above sounds complicated but is quite easy to do

Setting Email Filters in Thunderbird

hope this helps!

Best of Luck

I've added the above to Comping Guide - Getting Started & Other FAQs for future reference

I missed out on a £600+ prize in spite of having filters on, so do be careful, winning emails are not always obvious.

Advice needed - I have just had my PAYG comp mobile disconnected as forgot to top up etc, would it be a bad idea to give my main mobile number or will I get hounded by calls? I only ever had 2 calls on that one in 3 months but don't want to be hounded with sales calls etc. I guess if I start getting hounded I could easily change number.

They also said my number would be recycled so someone might get my calls?!?

Aww! what a shame

I'm sorry to here about you missing out on your prize,it's also worth noting that some emails are sometimes trapped by your isp's spam filters so you need to also check your online email spam folder (if you have one) every now and again

I always try to wade through and check my unfiltered emails for any strays but have to admit that when I'm pushed for time I sometimes just delete them :eek:

Just tried the RD link for the entry of the £5,000 daily codes & it is now working.
Good luck to all.
