    I was thinking about where people ask questions here, and I don't think this works as well as it should.

    Questions can appear anywhere, on the main competition Board, on IWIWIW, on the discussion thread and I assume also in the Compers Arms.

    I have tried a couple of times asking a question on the discussion thread, but they went unanswered, and from what I've seen, this happens quite a lot. When people ask something on IWIWIW they are much more likely to get a reply.

    I think this is because a question written on a thread gets pushed back too quickly. It's also hard to follow different questions written on the same thread. I suspect that this why people use IWIWIW for this. There people open a new thread each time, and follow-up posts are added to that individual thread. It's easy to follow, and doesn't get pushed back so quickly.

    So, I wondered what people thought about scrapping the discussion thread and Compers Arms, and instead adding a Discussion Board to the forum. That should keep IWIWIW for posts about wins, and would give a clear and obvious place for people to ask questions, chit-chat, or anything they wanted.

    What do others think? And should I have written this on IWIWIW? Here it will soon be pushed back and therefor will probably not seen by that many compers? Which will kind've validate what I'm saying :D

    Plus, if we had a discussion Board, people could subscribe to threads they open, and be notified of replies.

    Hi, I see that a lot of compers have a list of their winnings at the bottom of their posts:)

    Could someone tell me how this is done, is it some sort of signature block that you can set up in the profile or do compers just copy & paste everytime:eek:

    Many thanks - Tiny taff

    Hi all

    Just looking for some advice on setting myself up as a comper. Would it just be a case of setting up an email address and then coming on here every day and signing up for new comps?

    Thanks

    Kat
  • Hi, i only started comping yesterday and got a whole 33 comps done yesterday which i was quite impressed with. It is still a little daunting but the people on here seem to be so helpful, i always click the thanks button after i have used their info.
    Set up your new email and away you go. Its all i have done.
    Just need to get a little more organised with an autofill tool :D
    Welcome and good luck xx

    Near the top of the page, you'll find a menu bar with "Quick Links" near the right. If you click there, you'll find a link to edit your signature :)
