Hello

:wave:

Hi,

I'm new to comping and this area of the MSE forums and just wanted to say hello. I've had a jolly old day entering competitions and have read the stickies, though still not clear on everything.

I'm struggling with finding the magazine listings? The sticky mentions a menu to the left but I've not found it yet lol:rotfl::rotfl:

I've not won anything before so reading your lists of wins makes it all seem a bit more possible.

Wishing everyone lots of good luck.

    Welcome :) And good luck with your comping. Hope you get lots of wins!!! The magazine listing can be found by typing in Puzzler into the search box (this is how I do it anyway, but I am sure there is an easier way!) or Magazine. It then comes up with a thread for the post. Hope this helps.

    It took me a while to get there too, but eventually you will be speeding around the forum :)
    Best Wins: £4,350 Real Deal Win :j:D 12 Months Free Lovefilm, dress from Miss Guided, A Chocolate Making Class from Aero, x4 Monsters Uni Tickets :j
    Good luck everyone! And thanks for all your hard work :)

    2sparkle - wow! That's an impressive loot for a couple of months!! May it long continue!

    Gorsty15 - Also very impressive! Thanks very much for the tip. I tried typing magazine and it didn't come up with anything but I suspect user error:D I'll have another whirl at it in the morning when I'm fresh.

    Thanks guys and good luck!

    not sure which magazine listings you mean but if it's the
    monthly Take a Break & puzzler.com ones they can be found here..

    Regularly updated puzzler.com competitions (Part 4)

    you can subscribe to the thread once you've got them located,

    & you'll get notification each time a new comp is
    posted in the thread & it will take you straight to
    the postings :)




    the weekly magazines are posted as new comps each week

    Hi Firefly!

    Thanks so much for the links :D

    The monthly ones work just fine but when i click on the weekly links I get this message -

    Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

    I wonder if it's because I'm new? Or the browser i use (chrome)?

    Thanks so much though, they were exactly the ones i was looking for :D

    hi, no it's not you,
    the forum does that sometimes when links have been posted,
    it's done it before when I've posted them for others,
    anyways,
    easy way to find them..
    if you go to the search on the comps board
    (3rd one down, after
    Main site, sub-boards..

    Threads in Forum : Competitions Time
    Forum Tools Search this Forum

    & put them in as I've typed them

    ie: Take a Break Issue
    etc then search should bring them up for you x
    glad I could help thanks x
