    Best to check when you log in as somebody else's details are showing for me. I have contacted LBC. :)

    Just realised you can enter without logging in - not quite sure why I always do!

    I've now changed my link in the OP to be on the safe side, there have been some strange goings on with this site of late. :mad:

    Ditto - this is my feeling about this site :mad::mad::mad:

    I have now signed up with 3 emails - when I re-access the site each one places me in the never-ending 'loop' where I can't 'confirm VIP status' OR 'cancel membership' :eek:

    Twice I have seen someone else's personal data - I posted a msg on FB the last time this happened (no response :p)

    I have sent a msg via the site today too to vent my **** [goes off to sob quietly in a corner :rotfl:]

    I have had the same loop problem with this site, had to register DH and was going round in circles again. After 2 attempts retyped in all details instead of rafflecopter and got a thank you, you have entered.

    I also think I was entering my email and password in the bottom two boxes but then saw something about forgotten password thingy so left those empty. HTH

    Every comp, I try to log in, does not recognise my details, click the forgot password, log in and eventually manage to enter the comp. I then change my password.

    Next comp comes along, back to first point above, does not recognise my details. What a frustrating website this is. :mad:

    I've given up with trying to login / re-registering but have found a way to get my entry accepted 1st time every time now.

    - Fill in answer
    - Click to display login box for VIP member
    - Clear any email address / password from VIP login
    - Click to display non-VIP details
    - Fill in form as if you weren't registered
    - Accept email comms but not phone comms (I know you allegedly don't need to sign up for email but it will fail and tell you the code is incorrect if you don't select this).
    - Enter

    Any deviation from the above will cause it to fail and possibly re-fill VIP fields so they need clearing again.

    Phaede - that's brilliant! :A :T:T:T

    Finally, a solution! (although I still have niggling concerns that my own personal info will become available to some random person at any time, given I have seen others' data on this site! :eek:)

    Just to add - you have to fill in all the form (including a telephone/mobile number, even though it isn't a starred box - I had left it empty first time I tried this and it didn't work) and it will go through! :j:j:j
