Always better to ask.
Brings to mind this: http://www.finestquotes.com/select_quote-category-Fools-page-0.htm

Love the quotes Weeowens. My fave was: "Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving." And one of the quotes was a Klingon proverb: "Only a fool fights in a burning house."

just get stuck in you'll work your way around after a few goes, there's a lot to read through here's some of my tiny suggestions out of all the things you can do to start, some will seem idiotically obvious once you have done it a bit and know, but hey if you don't know its really hard to get

stickys are at the top of the forum and will never move comps start underneath them

make a facebook account for competitions it's so so easy to enter them you just like and share everything,(don't be scared of facebook comps)

links here are all in the posts just click and it takes you to the comp details just follow instructions mostly to enter comp by adding your details,

use four forward and back button a lot

thank and tick so you know you've entered,

don't be scared to contribute and comment and join in sometimes there's the odd narky comment reply but don't be put off by that or if you get one don't take it personally you never know what's going on in peoples lives that day and mainly everyone is super supportive and very generous (100% of the time in my experience)

Again don't be scared of Twitter comps, the same as facebook ones just register and you just follow and retweet and check mentions under every now and again to see if you've won

bumping is something that annoys people because you comment on an active comp and it moves it to the top

use search forum box - top right of forum to sort comps or find them by date/item etc (allows advanced search try when you are familiar with it)

comps are listed by header with end date in E: 09/11 format and prize description also adds fb for Facebook and effort if its n=more than just adding name and details

compwitiion and rafflecopter are quick competition apps again just click on details that come up

wem is winning email, wtc winning telephone call

the boards go crazy if there is an ITV win!

watch out for tick boxes for minimising junk mail bit accept you will get a lot, A LOT! of junkmail!

and finally enjoy it and wait for the wins!

this in no way is meant to replace any user guides which are really brilliantly informative they are just quick things off the top of my head that made it easier for me when I started

at least try once a day to say well done to someone who has won, i never used to but when i did win it was so so lovely to get the messages i do that now

not quite mastered dupes yet only spotted 1 in 2 years!

hope that helps a bit

and this is the last and most important bit, follow these 2 rules
do not talk about competions mse form

and 2nd rule, do not talk about competitions mse forum!

the less people know the more chances we have of winning but no one will ever tell you this ha ha - ((obvs joking) I'm not joking!)

use search forum box -top left of forum to sort comps or find them

That's a great list My only quibble is that I think the best place to search for comps is on the right hand side of the green line where it says Search this Forum




I'm not quite sure where you're searching at the top left?
