Competitions Discussion Thread Part 16

LindaLou72

DH doesn't know anything about comps, other than that Pepsi one I enter him in at the moment -- he's sick of LEMs So am I actually.

If any of the techies here would like to offer an opinion, it would be most welcome. There was a FB comp a few days ago, can't remember what for, but to give them credit they kept trying to fix it when I wrote to them. Eventually I think they gave up, though it would have been gallant of them to offer to take my details manually.

Amilucky?

I've had problems with quite a few comps today, which other people seem to have entered OK. I wonder if it's because I'm using Safari. I've had various difficulties lately on general websites as well as specific comps. Just today I've written to the sponsors of 2 Facebook comps, plus National Geographic, and I gave up on some others. I know that most people use Microsoft web browsers but there are significant numbers using Mac and even Linux. Has anyone else had this problem? It's been very frustrating.

I've been job-hunting for a long time and I've lost access to the jobs website of a local university; I discussed it with them on the phone and they said it's hosted externally and it is only compatible with Microsoft browsers. That's going to help them find the ideal job candidates, isn't it-? My husband works in IT and he can't believe it. To add to the irony, I'm actually taking a course at that university.

you could try uninstalling Flash then re-installing the latest version

Hope you manage to get it sorted, it must be really frustrating.

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering which competitions you prefer to enter out of Facebook and Twitter? Have you won comps through either of the networks?

There seems to be a lot of competitions on at the moment but I've only won once on a 'Follow at RT' Twitter comp!

Also, I'm new to this part of the forum, what does the 'E' mean in the subject of each post?

Thanks!

i enter both, never won from either lol but i find facebook ones easier to enter x

I always wonder if I'm annoying my friends when I'm liking so many pages! Looking at your signature your prizes are getting bigger though

I have won on both but have won bigger prizes on Twitter so it's worth trying if you can.

Do you me the E followed by a date? thats when the comp closes.
