    Ive just gone to chat to have a look. Well there goes an hour of my sat night for me. Have my tea first then back on here to do my mags.

    Is there any difference to them?
    Nope - seem exactly the same! Wonder what their maintenance involved?

    Couldn't see much diff. Slight layout change. They've tarted up the menu of site options. Nothing too scary, so far.
    I am brave, I am bruised
    I am who I'm meant to be
    I'm not scared to be seen
    I make no apology
    THIS IS ME!

    When the mags went from 3 to 5 sponsors, I emailed them and told them that I thought it made them look cheap! Like comparing The Times to the Sun lol! I had a few replies back saying that they needed more sponsors in order to continue running the competitions. I replied back saying it would put more people off entering - and everyone I know ticks the no boxes anyway. Maybe they had second thoughts - maybe they have had less entrants when they raised their sponsors from 3 to 5?

    LOL Yes I did! :rotfl: For example, I told 'Look' that I always bought their magazine because it looks glossy and appealing - not cheap and chatty like some that I will not mention! Then I went on to say how adding more sponsors was like adding more adverts, which made them look less appealing - almost down-grading themselves in my opinion. Like from The Times/Daily Mail to The Sun or The Star! :j

    I think they were quite shocked as they sent back emails almost grovelling :o Maybe others had complained too or they have had a fall in entrants. Just seems strange that they have dropped down to 3, 2 or even 1 single sponsor for their comps! ;)

    And my complaining obviously never blacklisted my name, as I have won 5 comps from the dailies in the past two months!
