Red Cross

Options
I keep seeing references to `red cross` for comps you do not want to enter. How do I get them (remember them from school days-had too many but hey who cares now). TIA

    In the bottom right corner of the post there should be a green tick to click to mark the comps you have entered and a red cross to mark the ones you don't want to enter.

    You seem to be missing the spam button as well, unless you forgot to mention it ;) Go to the site feedback forum here :

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&f=50 and ask them why you have no red cross button. I am wondering if when you are born you are allocated a certain number of red crosses. You mention that you had loads when you were at school. Perhaps you have used up your quota :rotfl:

    Silly question, but you are looking at the first post on the Competitions Board aren't you, you won't see the red cross on this or any other board, just the comp board and then only on the first post.

    Sorry, I am getting mixed up with different boards but when I am on the comps board I get a `report` and `spam` but still no `red cross`

    Stupid question, but in your settings is the forum layout set to the new one? As far as I know, the red cross will only be visible on the new forum layout.

    Did not know there was more than one layout. I just went with what is on the screen. Would you explain to me (in simple language) how to get the new layout. TIA
