Alternative to loquax

Hello I have not been on this forum long. I read it a lot to help me with the debts that I had accumilated but never really got round to post.

However what prompted me to start was the demise of loquax. I used loquax a lot for my competitions. I was originally on prize finder when i first started then loquax was easier to use.

I like many on here was disappointed and shocked that louqax had finished listing competitions. After the initial shock I went back to theprizefinder. I have to say its improved loads and i am now an avid fan.

I know many on here prefer the forums for competitions but for me I like something easier and this is it. So for those loquats (if thats what we were called) who find the forums difficult i recommend theprizefinder. Its just like what loquax was. If we can support that then it might even be better than loquax. As they say "change is as good as a rest". Happy comping.:money:

  • Yes I saw that thanks but I think they have closed the thread. A few of the former loquats were getting a little disgruntled perhaps.
  • I've only ever used loquax i struggle with the mse format it really slows me down, i've now signed up to prizefinder and i don't know if its just me but it didn't seem to have as many comps as loquax, i usually comp by closing date and work forward and there just didn't seem to be as many.

    I then gave mse another go last night but im still hopelessly slow with that layout compared to the loquax layout.

    Suppose i'll just have to try and get used to one or the other.
  • I have come to MSE from loquax and i'm finding it a lot quicker than loquax.The answers are posted which are not always obvious and when entry is by email you can click the link in the post rather than have to go via the website (sixty plus surfers is a good example)

    Once you get used to the forum layout its a lot easier.Yes the prizefinder is lacking in number of comps.
  • Hi, my name is Tracy and I am a refugee from Loquax. I have been an active member of Loquax for many years and was very sad to hear that Jason could no longer keep the listings going. But I respect and support his decision. I will continue to visit the forums.

    I had never been on this site until a couple of days ago and am just trying to navigate my way around. When I feel more confident I hope to be able to submit competitions and join in the chat.
  • When I 1st started comping I used mse straight away as was given some good advice by quite a few people one especially though who helped me a lot was Mamzie :)
    I did look at loquax but decided it wasn't for me. With the help received and quite a bit of reading up of the Compers guide thread I have settled down here nicely and wouldn't want to be anywhere else :)
