  • Now I'm confused, why is my thread in Game over since the vouchers aren't available until Monday?

    This is still current.

    It's possibly in Game Over because you did not add an end date in the usual format.
    If you add an end date in the format outlined below it would possible to get it moved back to the main board.

    There is a great gude here.
    I've C&P'd a bit below:

    6 How do I post a comp on here?
    Firstly, do a thorough search (see above) to ensure the comp is not already on MSE.

    Check you are in the Competitions Time Forum & then click ‘New Thread’, from the link at the top or the bottom of any main forum page.

    A new page is displayed for you to fill information about the comp you want to post.

    1. Put the date at the beginning of the title box, & please use the Forum standard, below.

      E: XX/XX, For Example, E: 02/04 Win a .....

      This makes things a lot easier for the BGs & Compers (like you) to find comps that are ending. If the comp ends within 12 months then it is fine to put the dd/mm date as explained above. If you have a rare comp that has more than a year to the end date then please stick to the posting convention above then put a space & put the year in brackets - but only if it is MORE THAN 12 months ahead.
      E: 02/04 (2012) Win....... <-Only if comp is more than 12 months away from ending.

      If you can’t see the closing date for a comp in the T & C or on the webpage then please estimate an end date. Without an end date on the thread title it will be moved into the Game Over sub forum prematurely, which would be a bit of a waste of your effort in posting it for us. If you had to estimate the end date then pop that into your post so that if, later on, the website add an end date another member can highlight the new information.

      E: 30/06 (?)

      The Thread Title then needs a short description of the prize that can be won, For Example, Holiday to Tenerife.

      If you are posting the answers to a mag with multiple comps & answers then put the mag name & issue in the thread title, eg, That’s Life Magazine Issue 10

      If the comp is entered by email or there is an age / location restriction then it is helpful to put that in the title in brackets, For Example, (U16)

      If a comp has a particular end time it is useful if it is posted in the thread title too, For Example, 5pm.

      So a few examples to sum it up:
      E: 28/12 Trip to New York (email)
      E: 15/09 Bee movie DVD (U16)
      E: 05/03 3pm Indiana Jones Goody Bag
      E: 07/01 £50 ToysRUs vouchers (email)(Oxford)
    2. In the main body of the post, you can type in the link to the page & whether it is a comp where you need to login / register. (I’ll go through neat link or clickies in just a moment). Do be aware when you are posting a comp that you should be using excerpts & links rather than copying long text.
    You can ‘Preview Post’ to see how it will look, if you want, before you click to ‘Submit New Thread’. Please remember that if a site URL appears as !!!!!! in the preview then it is a site which has been banned on MSE & shouldn't be posted.

    Bauer / Heart Radio Station Competitions:
    You can only enter through one Bauer station now, and that includes Kerrang, (but not Kiss for some strange reason).

    You can also only enter through one Heart station, and whilst you don't have to enter through your local station they prefer that you do. The regular comp poster for these ones posts a list of all the stations for the big prizes to make it easier to enter.
  • Thanks weeowens will maybe sort it tomorrow as I'll be preoccupied tonight.

    I did originnally post this on the grabbit board as I'm not sure it's a comp cos you just visit FB and print off a voucher *shrugs* then it got moved.

    I'm a bit stumped really tbh. :D
