    Never mind not seeing them in regulars how could you have missed them after these 2 posts on the main board which both have links to the thread?

    E: 21/07 Win iPads/TVs/PS4s/Vouchers/Goody bags/Beauty products etc (Click to Win)

    and

    E: 18/08 Win prizes from a selection worth approx £50,000 (ClickToWin)

    Seriously, what could have been put in a title to make you want to look?
    The first one covered Tech, Beauty and vouchers and if the second with a chance to win prizes from a selection worth £50,000 didn't do it, what would?

    I tried to make the titles as appealing as possible so it's good to know you simply missed them rather than didn't like what was on offer.

    I think your idea about a one-off C2W main board posting has worked really well mjm :T:T - are you planning on adding a new one around mid-Sept? (ie. monthly basis?)

    I always get very excited when I see that post MJM... then run a gazillion miles when I see it's the CTWs :rotfl:

    Seriously, like Biker Chick, I think it's a really good idea to have that monthly: your titles have certainly grabbed me! I'm sure many have started the CTWs after seeing it... It's nice to have the reminder that we don't have to enter every single CTW, and have some of the main prizes singled out :)

    It's been because of a lot of hard work myself & other members have kept asking for the "Regulars" competitions to be posted on the main board.

    mjm3346 kindly did the lists as a trial to see if it would work.

    I'm not sure what the outcome was in the end but suspect it's a no go.

    This is even more important that it's allowed to be posted on the main comp board now that the click to wins are not mentioned on the forum in clear sight under the heading "regulars".

    It would be a good idea to start a poll asking if people think it's a good idea to post every couple of weeks a list of where the ctw's are & some of what people could win

    But unless the poll is started by the forum team nothing is done about it

    I agree the regulars (weeklies/one-day) comps should be on the main board. The C2Ws were definitely voted NOT to add to the main board (and I personally would hate to see that change)

    I think the lists that mjm posted were fine, and once a month is sufficient or, at most, maybe the same post repeated every fortnight like you suggest LO.

    The fact that both of mjm's posts are still 'visible' (ie yes they went to GO after the end date mjm set, but they were not 'removed' entirely by the forum team) so why not continue on with this?....if the situation changes in the coming weeks then further discussions can take place then.

    In addition, fire**fly regularly mentions the C2Ws in her TAB mag issues posts, let alone the various postings in CCC about them. Surely that's sufficient for the majority of people even if they don't venture into the Regulars section?

    If mjm3346 or anyone else that would like to post the list as mjm3346 has then that would be brilliant.

    I understand that the C2W's can't be posted on the main board individually because of the vote, but as I said then this would be a good compromise. I would love for it to be posted weekly.

    Also the list could be bumped back round on the main comp board every day so as many people as possible can see it. I can't see that would cause a problem for the people who don't want to do them because they would just x it & when it comes back up to the top the next day it would still be xed.
