I wanted to comment about not spoiling the thread for others when their boxes arrive - could a new thread be made for spoilers? When reading the thread on phone or ipad, it's difficult to highlight all the text to read it.

I'm really sorry about that - originally we had the spoilers in normal black type and asked people to stay away from the thread if they hadn't received their box yet. Unfortunately, if you get more than one box, that meant the thread was almost always out of bounds. Spugzbunny came up with the superb idea of putting spoilers in white, which seems to be the best way.

I'm not sure how we could split the thread really. Do you mean have one thread simply dedicated to dispatch dates, discount codes etc and another to discussions of boxes? I'm not sure how well it would work but if anyone wants to set up a new thread and try it out, feel free.

Oooh thanks for the heads-up. I haven't had one of these before but I might try it if there are enough pennies in the bank and I like the look of the products.

It says on FB that it will be done through "You" magazine again - do we need a special link or can it be accessed via the normal LIB site? I can't remember what happened the last couple of times and I am too lazy to plough through the thread

I had a similar problem when viewing this thread on my smart-phone. I got around it by clicking the quote button on the post I wanted to see, but not actually posting. It all shows up in the editing box.

Not perfect, but it works.

Something like that would be a good idea. I don't visit this thread often but when I do I realise the problem but I'm not always logged in (want to read and go) so quoting isn't always an option. I thought others may be thinking the same.

Anyway, if it's okay with everyone then no need to make a new thread but if anyone wants to create a spoiler thread then reading in black will be the way

By rights you should buy next Sunday's daily mail to get the link from You magazine but you can also get the link from the online dailymail site from approx midnight on Saturday. They sell out fast and cost between £8 and £12 including p&p

click here next Sunday and search for latest in beauty skincare stars box and click on the link it brings up on the relevant post to be directed to the correct LIB page
