    I look at the title first to see whether I want to enter it, then also look at how many replies its had and also the poster its by before entering it!

    you had to put the tempting bit on the end didn't you. I was (tempted) and I confess I did sorry. but the truth is both, cause after a while some of them you know what they are going to be and then others are a mystery.
    always check for dates if tickets or holiday.

    I know that I have not 'met' a nicer bunch of people on any other forum any where.

    I do try to lag a bit behind doing comps, and usually read most of the postings ~ I can guarantee that if I am up to the minute with them, they are the ones that I end up entering twice ~ as I don't know a lot of what I've entered, and its too soon for anyone else to have put "check the thanks".

    [Shut up kipper and find us more comps please!] I So Wanted to Click This But Only Coz It Made Me Laugh :rotfl:

    I'll click and enter only the comps that interest me, but I tend to click the thanks button first then go back upto the top and read the thread and very occasionally find its a bloody caption/tie-breaker/photo comp, which I'm totally c**p at :rotfl: so end up not entering it afterall.

    Like the others if its a regular poster then I would just skim through the thread.

    Cheers Kipper :beer:

    A bit inbetween for me.

    I'll hover my mouse over the title of the thread to see the first post, then if it's something I'd want to win I click into the thread.

    Depends whose posted as to whether I skim or read properly.
    I usually look out for subscribing to e-mails (tend not to if I can help it) and look out for any highlighted text.

    I have been caught out before by not reading following posts and consequently find out it's a comp posted before.:doh: so I do tend to read others posts before clicking on links now.

    I read the post, and only enter the competition if it is something I would use...no point in entering for the sake of it...it lets someone else have a chance.
