    Hi all, I've just restarted doing these mag dailies for the first time since they were moved off the main board, and I have a couple of questions:

    1) Where several mags have the same prize, is it one prize shared across all the mags, or are there multiple prizes available? I'm sure this has been asked before, but reading this whole thread will seriously eat in to my comping time! :rotfl:

    hi again, some of the mags do share the prizes across all the mags but some don't, it's just a case of entering them all which you want to enter :)

    Having just had a look in regulars, I see that as well as the threads which link to comps on the main board, there are actually comps posted there in their own right - mostly weeklies, it looks like (I must have known this in the past but had forgotten!).

    Hope that second question makes sense! Thanks for your help :T

    Hi, the comps on the weekly board would all have been on the main board at some point, and then linked to the weeklys so I can update it. What you might find is that the ones I have marked as ongoing will possibly have dropped off the main board now if they aren't updated by the original poster due to us not being able to to put ongoing as an end date on the main board, if that makes sense?

    Hello, do the Magazine dailies limit the number of prizes you can win in a given period? The reason I ask is that I started comping in June and was very lucky to have a few wins from the magazine daily comps in my first few weeks but since the end of July, not a sausage. Of course I realise that it is just random and maybe my beginner's luck has run out but I just wondered if they only allow you a certain number of wins in, say, a six month period, in which case I'll stop doing them for a while. Thanks in anticipation...

    Not as far as I know, I think fire**fly has won quite a few times recently so she might be the best person to answer this one, there is nothing in the terms of each competition to say limited wins though.

    Me too, one or two prizes from the dallies every month until September, since then nothing.

    I've noticed that recently more of the shared across the magazines prizes have started to be for more than one of.

    Think a lot of people may have stopped doing them because it was one prize spread across 8+ magazines, and possibly didn't think it was worth the effort.

    I won 9 times between October last year to April this year (7 months) then nothing since then (7 months) - this lean spell coincides roughly with the time they started spreading the prizes over multiple sites
