This is my first day venturing into the advents. I would like to say a big thank you to fnc63 for coordinating them, it appears to be a huge job. I'm slightly confused though, could someone please explain for me what this means

02/12 10?? (then listed the company providing the competition)

Also under the Marie Claire Advent comp it says this:
OPEN * 03/12 13.25 revised enddate and link redirected to users profile as they are posting them them all individually

again i'm confused and not sure what that means

This is probably because I rarely do dailies and advents only come around once a year but if someone could help me work this out it would be most appreciated

Thanks

Dont bother with the advents if you have a life away from the computer, i have just about given upo after 4 days, i am slowly losing the will to live.

In the advent thread "01/12 17.?? - Go City Girl - E: 04/12 - OPEN" link no longer works but the comp is still going. (http://www.gocitygirl.com/en/Blog/ and direct link to today's http://www.gocitygirl.com/en/GoOut/?userId=2022&entryId=3061&ajax=true)

Wasn't sure if I should repost it or not in case it's been deleted on purpose for some reason. Have searched and can't see anything.

it has been deleted, possibly for self promotion, if so someone else could post the comp and put a new link in the advent sticky

Ok
Was about to repost it but looking closer, although there is a new comp each day, each comp is open for four days. So I'm unsure if this should be posted as it was before, in a single thread linked to advents and bumped each day, or each comp separately with the 4 days end date on the main board. Don't want to do it wrong! :doh::)

Wow Weeowens thats amazing, can I be nosey and ask if you have won a lot, I have been doing take a break, chat etc, have you won any of those by entering on line, thanks:)


Just another quickie is there a way you can mark which comps you have entered on this site, I always press the thanks button, but worried I might enter the same ones in error, thanks.

I've never won via TAB or Chat but hey-ho,there's time left.
I've had some very nice wins in my time but do "waste" comping time posting comps as well so maybe enter less than I could :-)
To help you spot an entered comp just click "Entered" as well as thanks.A tick will appear next to the comp & that will steer you away in future.

Even entering half of them is a huge job, co-ordinating must take over your entire life :eek:

The date at the beginning is just when it was first posted here on the boards, I think. It helps people keep track of which ones they need to update in whatever personal lists they might be keeping. For entering it doesn't really matter though - just click on the link & it takes you to the relevant thread.

Most of the Advents are posted as one thread for a series of competitions. The Marie Claire one isn't - each day's competition is posted separately. That means fnc couldn't link direct to the competition thread as s/he has done with the rest, so instead the link takes you to the profile of the person who generally posts the comp each day. Alternatively you could just bookmark the comp itself ( linky ).

Good luck!

Has anyone started this yet? It's the annual quiz where you have to find 50 tv programme titles in the picture.
I've managed 29 so far and I'm stuck!!!!

Is there a copy of the picture on line anywhere??

I've had a quick look and can't seem to find a copy of the picture online. Could you change the title of the thread to the standard format:

E: ??/?? Radio Times Xmas Edition The Big Quiz

I've no idea of the end date as copies have yet to find their way up here. As soon as I can find one I'll be having a go at it.
