This was posted twice by someone in the last couple of days but was removed due to self promotion, also it was a voting competition but I think they have removed that now.

That's the details. Also worth noting that should you have any trouble uploading pictures you can e-mail the chaps directly with your name, title of rumour and attached photo, and they will attach it for you. E-mail address for that is [EMAIL="admin@gizmobird.co.uk"]admin@gizmobird.co.uk[/EMAIL]


I e-mailed a photo for my entry (Hamster and Rabbit Detection) but haven't seen the photo attached yet, but I did only e-mail yesterday evening! (Edit - now on, see below post).

It's a Dupe I'm afraid.

I don't know how to report a merge

weeowens

Here you go.Any probs & I'll do it later :

1 What do I do if I see a comp which has already expired / been posted on here? / How do I send a merge request to a Board Guide?
On any page of the Forum, towards the bottom right of the page under the list of comp threads, it says who the Board Guides (BGs) are for this forum. Below is the current list:

If you click a BG name, it will take you to their profile page, over on the right is the 'Contact Info' & you should see a link to 'Send a private message to xxxx'

If you click that, a Private Message (PM) box will display & then all you need to do is put a title (eg Merge Request Please), then tell the BG what the Original Thread URL & the Dupe Thread URL is. (Highlight the URL of a thread in the bar at the top of the browser screen & right click > copy. Then click your mouse back into the PM box & right click > paste). You can ‘Preview Message’ to see how it will look, if you want, before you click to ‘Submit message’.

I used divadee for my example above. Please try to spread your requests across all the BGs so we don’t overload just 1 of them, as they are volunteers to help the board run smoothly & do want the time to enter & post some comps too!

Please also post on the duplicate comp thread that it is a dupe, include a link to the original thread & if you mention that you have sent a merge request to whichever BG you sent it to, then that will save others doing exactly the same thing & bombarding the poor BGs with multiple requests for the same thing.


2 There is a closed comp on the main board, should I do anything?
Absolutely! We can all try to help to keep the Competitions Time Forum tidy, comps which have gone past their end date are moved to the Game Over Forum. If you notice that a comp has closed early or there is a comp which has ended in the main Competitions Time Forum then please see above for how to send a Private Message to a Board Guide.

Instead of a Merge Request though, you could perhaps title it 'Closed Comps' depending on how many you found. It would be a great idea if you found a couple to send them all through on the same PM. It will then bring it / them to the attention of a BG so they can move it / them to the Game Over sub forum.
