    Im glad I read this early on... just changed the few comp I entered into public..

    GrannyBiker: I have seen the the custome option too on facebook, but I think if that is set, it will no longer be "public"?


    Edit:
    There is another option: Limit the Audience for Past Posts, may be worth considering

    limiting the audience, what will this do?
    :j BIG THANKS TO ALL COMP POSTERS, MUCH APPRECIATED :j

    After a certain amount of time the posts will be deleted off your wall. It's basically an easy way to keep your wall spam clean :)
    Thanks to all posters :A

    I think since companies started using facebook and twitter ect they do these competitions I think purely for advertising. It annoys me that I have to show everyone what I am entering and they bombarded with adverts ect. I only enter fb ones when the prize is good. Otherwise I'll end up with no friends haha
