Competitions Discussion Thread Part 17

Kirri

Thanks VG ^ re spam companies, no I haven't read the updated comping guide in a while, I was only following the updates at the time in the threads when some people didn't feel it needed adding so was still being debated as to whether it would be added or not. Glad to see no more of them will be put on though

Hey Salboy.

It might have been something to do with the selling/buying element of your post as selling or buying things on MSE isn't allowed.

That's just an inkling though. Maybe PM a BG as they might know?

I think perhaps Salboy's posts might have been moved but referred to the forum team as I guess it would mean personal information would be exchanged which is against the Forum Rules?

I swear it was in here this morning though :doh: as I was trying to do a bit of catching up as I've had a really busy week at work & bf was still in bed so I could read in peace. (This is where I really miss the 'confused' shrugging smilie - please just imagine it is in here )

if you scan thru then re enter why not bookmark the ones you want to enter?
just right click & 'bookmark this link' if I'm really really short of time I do this, then open the links etc when I've more time

Thanks but unfortunately I don't think that would help - when short of time I just skim the titles for the most interesting handful and do the rest if/when, I'd end up with so many bookmarks with the amount being posted each day that look good it wouldn't be much of a time saving over going back over the pages I don't think, but interesting idea I'd have to find the shortcut for a bookmark on a Mac though?

ah well - I've just sat with 118 pages open ( & on max threads) and done that as I'm just back from hols on Sat - took a couple of hours to pick through the ones I want to enter.
Next I'm going to enter them when I have time (in date ending order of course! ) and do my usual ones as well to catch up otherwise I would never have caught up again! lol
PS I comp as posted - so I'm a week and a bit behind and a bit of an addict! lol

I don't think I'd ever catch up on 118 pages with the amount of new ones added each day!

It can be done if you have the time.

I've managed it a few times when I've been too ill to get through them when they've been posted. It does take ages though. Roboform is a godsend!

Crikey!

3 days (40-50 pages) is my complete limit. Can catch this up in around 2-3 hours usually. I don't even attempt any longer periods, as I would go blind staring at entry forms.

Plus I like to do it all in one go and IE tends to break my PC at around 150 tabs (at a guess - haven't counted them).

I've found mention of another Facebook comp. As mentioned before I can't access Fb so if someone else would be kind enough to post it I'd be grateful.

The details I do have are as follows:

UK Only

- Cover Art Posters! Orbit is doing a "countdown to 13" contest, giving away a signed poster of a book cover each day. For details, see facebook.com/orbitbooksUK or follow them on Twitter at @orbitbooks
