1 What do I do if I see a comp which has already expired / been posted on here? / How do I send a merge request to a Board Guide?
On any page of the Forum, towards the bottom right of the page under the list of comp threads, it says who the Board Guides (BGs) are for this forum. Below is the current list:
If you click that, a Private Message (PM) box will display & then all you need to do is put a title (eg Merge Request Please), then tell the BG what the Original Thread URL & the Dupe Thread URL is. (Highlight the URL of a thread in the bar at the top of the browser screen & right click > copy. Then click your mouse back into the PM box & right click > paste). You can ‘Preview Message’ to see how it will look, if you want, before you click to ‘Submit message’.
I used divadee for my example above. Please try to spread your requests across all the BGs so we don’t overload just 1 of them, as they are volunteers to help the board run smoothly & do want the time to enter & post some comps too!
Please also post on the duplicate comp thread that it is a dupe, include a link to the original thread & if you mention that you have sent a merge request to whichever BG you sent it to, then that will save others doing exactly the same thing & bombarding the poor BGs with multiple requests for the same thing.
Go on, give it a goIt's easy once you've done one

I think it's the cafetiere (amended)... so my tweet will look like this.
@bt_uk #GuessThePrize cafetiere
GTA 5 for Xbox 360 def not £7.50
- iPhone cover google this and I can find it for as cheap as £2!
- Gaming headphones over £30
- Gaming chair I did google the make and it was well over limit
- Xbox live Annual Subscription about £30
- Cafetiere might be this, it was a tacky red one... cheapest I could find was £10
- Beanbag these are about £20 maybe £15 in my opinion!Decluttering target:
Beauty product - 4/52, last item - body scrub DD
Play room - 11/52, last item - bag of shoes / clothes
Clothes - 13/52, last item - bag of shoes / clothes
Food - 8/52, last item - shredded gammon and bits of ham from freezer0 -
Think that's only three quid - http://www.seasonsonline.co.uk/blue-nintendo-gameboy-iphone-44s-cover-p137/?gclid=CIyh2f7J87sCFQjlwgodIgoAAQ
So reckon either the bean bag or cafetiere.More GRRR than the average Bear!!0 -
The Cafetière was £7.50 on marks and spencers (now £5 in the sale though) but probably think that would be the answer?...
I always assumed bean bags were more pricey now unsure lolAsk.. Believe.. Receive..
