Competitions Discussion Thread Part 16

Hello

Is there a way of flagging competitions you are interested in or making a short list to return to later?

Only by saving them in bookmarks etc.

Maybe some sites have that function but we don't,sorry.

I wasn't entirely sure where to put this thread, as it's not appropriate in the IWIWIW section...

Myself and other users have found it sometimes difficult entering competitions where the captcha fails to load on multiple browser platforms, and whilst this solution might seem tricky to novice computer-goers, it's actually pretty straightforward.

Solution to captcha issues:

1. Go to 'file' or 'view' depending on your browser and then 'view source' or 'page source'

2. Hit cmd (mac users) or ctrl (Windows) and at the same time press 'F' and type in 'Enter text' in the search box

3. You should get something like this on most sites (it will be the only chunk of text centered) :

<input type='hidden' name='competition_id' value='92' />
<input type='hidden' name='competition_action' value='vote' />
<input type='hidden' name='word' id='word' value='WE4S' />
<input type='submit' class='comp-vote-button' value='Enter Now' />
</form></div></div></p>

There's your captcha (in red), worked fine for me =D

N.B- It may not work for all forms, but websites such as Sidewalk worked just fine!

Hi all,

Does anyone know of any competitions where the prize was a brand new Audi A5?

Two days ago this Audi was delivered to a small village where I stay looking for a man who doesn't exist! They went around asking people if they know who this guy was and of course nobody does! After around 2-3 hours the guys left leaving the car in a carpark!

So basically there a new car that nobody knows about or wants laying in a busy daytime carpark!

Had a look online but can't find anything at all!

So they just left a brand new Audi A5 in a carpark??
Sorry to come across as rude, but is this a serious question?

Yeah exactly the car is locked (luckily its in a free carpark) and they said they were going to take the key with them and leave the car here!

It is! Just trying to solve this mystery!

ah thanks, seems very odd

I thought it might have been an itv prize but they always confirm the winner's details with them, or they pass it on to another person if the prize winner doesn't claim within a certain time, done a google search but this is the only thing coming close to it.
