    I'm not sure if my entry went through. I didn't get any confirmation and all the boxes just cleared.

    I really don't like their website, I find the text hard to read and whenever I log in it prompts me to update my profile, then I have to go all round the houses to find the comp entry page. :mad:

    ETA:- I've just emailed them via their webform, which was a job in itself! The fields aren't marked as to what you're supposed to put in it. So I just filled in my name, email address, what the problem is (ie:- your website is s**t) and for the picture I uploaded a random google image of a woman screaming in frustration!

    I much prefer it when we used to email the answers!
