    Thanks LuckySeven... was wondering how you were going to stop the unscrupulous thieving little !!!!!!s :)
    at the very least, you've made life harder for them.

    I use the split window method in FF, didn't take me much longer than C/P ing.

    Sorry, but I do agree with twinklenicci,martinsnest and GW78. I found it a lot quicker to C&P, and it was more accurate for me as I am such a rubbish typist.
    But, I do understand and appreciate why it was done this way, so I would like to say to LuckySeven - a huge thank you for taking the time and effort to do and post these competitions, and I will fit in with whichever way is easiest for you.

    I use chrome but im sure you can do it on all browers.
    quickest way I've found of doing the magazine comps is to have the answers open on one tab then open the entry form make the window smaller and move it next to the answers and type them in from there so you dont have to keep switching between tabs.

    sorry if thats teaching some people to suck eggs but might help others hopefully :)

  • Oh my word now I may end up getting some wrong here, it was far easier to copy and paste for me as dyslexia means i often get it wrong even when i trippel check, i use spell check alot and go with what looks right, also often jumble numbers by accident, gonna take me a while now, lol. but thank you anyway for posting answers but would be really grateful to anyone who would put them up so i could copy n paste them, then at least i know i wont get it wrong.
    Why is there always to much month left at the end of the money :think:

    Shame, some people have trouble typing and/or spelling so this format makes it much harder for them...while the people posting elsewhere can just use the image link. ..so it doesn't harm them at all.

    If they just used the image link it would show it had come from MSE, quite simple though to convert the image with free OCR software then edit the result as they like.

    However this was a one off post and the newer ones are in the "old style".
