E: 23/10 tv choice (Click & Win)

Nicky63

OFGS! No wonder I haven't had a decent win in months, I didn't even know Click to Win existed let alone was hidden away on a sub board!

I have very little computer time to spare, so when I get to comp I want to be able to trust that ALL comps are available to choose from when I scroll through the main board, which is where it was agreed when Glad first came along to help and get some things clarified, that ALL, without exception, competitions would go and then they could be LINKED to the sub boards for the convenience of those that have time to potter about in there.

I have no time at all to go in CCC and quite frankly although I've looked at it about twice since it was created I think I know exactly how it goes in there!

I don't understand why the comping forum can not just come together as one

It used to!

Comping Cat please don't think I am directly having a go at you, because I can assure you a I am not, it's just a shame that if so many people feel so strongly about this thread it's generally only you that speaks up about it x

For the record I am backing Comping cat, as I am another that feels strongly about it but don't have the TIME to keep trying to defend my point of view.



I have already wasted some of my comping time in writing this, I will not be back to answer anything further so feel free to say what you like :rotfl:

Hope you have a big win soon :j

You could always ask a BG if something can be done to bring them onto the main comp board as you don't have time to take part in a discussion on the chat corner? sending one PM to Glad or Dalkrist may be a quicker way to get your point across?

I did start a thread about them in CCC but it was deleted as had pm's included in it which I posted with permission from the person who'd pm'd me,

hi nicky, there was a very long thread that I posted in CCC about the winsomething/tvchoice/ dailies when they started but it got deleted, which is a shame now because peeps could have 'searched' for them & found the thread explaining about them & the discussions that followed on it if/when they saw a post about them in mains,
it was asked if the dailies mag thread could be a sticky but was told no,
maybe if it was made into a sticky as like in the postal/texts
sub/sticky thread it would be easier for peeps to find.

Luckyone

I think a sticky would be a great idea

This is the second time i have commented on the magazine thread, so not that often.

All your points, while valid, are purely for the convenience of those few who want to run the additional sub boards - and you keep forgetting my point that the majority do not bother with the Compers Chat board - the last time there was a major blow out on this forum it was decided that all competitions had to be listed on the main board (this is one of the reasons we no longer have a monthly sub board because of all the work and missed competitions) - but putting the magazines all together like this is not listing them on the main board, like i said, imagine you are a new comper and you go into that thread, can you honestly tell me you would find it easy and convenient?

Im not going to comment again, i have work to do and ive got to post the Real Deal, which i havnt done yet because of commenting on this thread and quite frankly, i dont want to get into another argument, i shouldn't have commented this morning, but i had no idea that this debate had happened and been decided on.

Comping cat, I apologize for thinking you have commented more than twice on the mag thread, my mistake

Cornish has requested the mag thread be a sticky but was told no, I think it would be a good idea also and would hopefully help ease some issues of people forgetting about it?

In all honesty I think the mag thread Would be easier for me as a newbie than trying to trawl the main board and daily thread every day looking for them, but everyone has a different way of comping, I would think for some it might be easier to go thru hundreds of comps every day, I don't have the time for that unfortunately.

Nicky, The click to win comps have only been going a week or so I think? And no Cat, I'm not forgetting your point about people not frequenting the chat board, but I ask again what the preferred alternative would be to discuss something new and get a majority view on it?

I'm not coming on here because I disagree with anybody. I know you all have valid points. Personally I'm happy with the mag thread because of the way I comp. I use the main thread only & pick up any new mag comps as they are posted. Just the same as with any other post.

As soon as something is posted I add it to my Favourites. I have my own folders for each mag, so only need click on the little arrow to show latest new post on the mag thread, click on the link & add to my own folder with end date & answer in the title. I'm not posting this to inflame anyone, just hoping it can help anyone with less time than me to not miss out on any comp.

Hope this helps someone & doesn't upset anyone

Thanks allisoca, and that's not far off how I do it myself, I use the mag thread as a starter point and then click from within the links on the mag itself .

Just to add, I'm not saying comping cat and Nicky/toniq plus whoever are wrong, far from it in fact, like I said everyone has their own way of doing things. My way at the moment along with real life is keeping me about 6 days behind so far from perfect!

This current way is just the way after discussion and trial that people (even if that was only those prepared to speak up but who can control that?) preferred.

Maybe glad or dalkirst would like to comment? I just don't know how else the mags could be dealt with to keep everyone happy?
