Hi All,

Just a quick query really...

I've only being doing comps properly (through MSE) since the start of the year and absolutely love it...I've won few small things and the buzz I get from it is amazing...

So far however, I've only found and posted two comps that haven't been already posted and I am in total awe of those who spend their time and effort in sharing comps with all of us...

So...back to the original point of this post...Terms and Conditions...sometimes these are posted and sometimes not...

Is there any reason why they are not put up? I think, from my limited experience, that it is good to have them to refer back to if you win something as often the comp has disappeared from the original website

I understand that it is far better for the ultra comp posters to spend their time hunting comps down and posting them than wasting time on the Ts and Cs...but I am more than happy if I enter a comp to copy and paste the Ts and Cs in a post below if that is acceptable....just my way of giving something back...

Thoughts please.

All the best,

Gordon.:)

ps -and if this post in the wrong place (as it probably is!) I apologise in advance!! -and if anyone wants to move it please do!!!

Hi,we all post in our own way.Personally I do not favour the C&P'ing of large tracts of text from promotors sites.MSE do not wish us to,as mentioned here.

I tend to post links to the the terms but will post an extract on holiday type comps where there are various elements that have to come together eg flight restrictions etc.

It's not a time element as to why they are not usually posted,at least not for me.It would only take seconds to do :-)

The above is just my view & others may wish to post lots of generic terms.That's their perogative :-)

I'll pm Glad to move this to discussion.

Thank you weeowens - got it.... Andreas post (the one you linked to) is great!!

I won't be doing it unless I notice anything specific.

All the best,

Gordon. (now even more determined to hunt down the elusive un-posted comps!!):)

p.s. and thank you again for the post to the fishing tackle comp I won...the fly leaders turned up and I've shared them with my Dad!!!

Hi everyone, I posted a competition here a while ago for the Snowbombing Festival, which I'd really love to go to!!:D:D

However I'm still stuck on a few of the questions and would appreciate some help please. You have to name the people in these pictures. They are supposed to be "dance music" people. I think the first one is Keith Flint but not overly sure of the others. Many thanks in advance!

Hi! Quick question... I cannot find for the life of me where on TV choice i can change my address?! i logged in fine and entered for issue 6 but can't see anywhere to find/change my address....say they contact by headed paper but am guessing they still have my old address. I stopped comping in December after a fab first 6 months and now i have moved and getting settled ive began changing my address on the ones i like to enter and started entering again (although on a much reduced level as realised how much time i was spending lol), no problems with the mag dailies, puzzle mags and radios etc so wondering if TV choice is linked to another mag that ive already changed my address on?!
Thanks for any help x
