    Nothing wrong with Cider.

    Seems that I will have to sort the links to the pic out,given my views on hotlinking.

    No offence.

    Most new members cannot even read the comping guide & will not format threads in the usual way.


    Most new members should be made to read a guide about posting, comps, itv, when they are likely to win, only entering for a week and no wins, rafflecopter, gleam, dailies, why thier luck isn't in, how long has everyone been comping, twitter, FB, fb comping accounts, twitter comping accounts, how long prizes take, like and share etc etc etc

    before even beong allowed to post !

    I feel a bit sorry to say but get real,as some would say.

    How does a forum "make" new members read a guide or ensure that they understand it?

    MSE Comps is an open forum that is the best in the UK for numbers of posted comps,answers & so much more.

    The new members will be guided by the older members & some will become regular posters of comps.

    Who really cares if the odd error happens,I know that I do not.

    As is my usual mantra I would ask that if anyone can find a "better" overall site please add a link.

    None can touch this as an open forum so let's not destroy it.

    I also said no i also think the baby swap shop twitter ones are not needed as i asked a while back and there is no prize for retweeting there tweets they said you have to go to there site to enter and they are already posted
    Replies to posts are always welcome, if they are done in the correct manner. If I have made a mistake in the post, I am human, tell me nicely and it will be corrected. If your reply cannot be nice, has an underlying issue, or you believe that you are God, please post in another forum. Thank you

    Bella - might be worth PMing whoever normally posts those TW comps to let them know what you found out. Sometimes they don't revisit their threads, and there'd be no reason to doubt them when the tweets say "follow... And retweet to enter" - eg https://twitter.com/babyswaporshop/status/489052105769242624

    Incidentally, if that is the case, they should be reported to the ASA as the comps are not genuine - they promise that by retweeting someone will gain an entry into their competition and that's not true from what you say.
  • A big pat on the back to you all for resolving this amongst yourselves. Well done :)
