Hi Biker*Chick
Happy New Year
Just post exactly as what works best for youUEFA: Corrupting Football Since 1954 #CTID0 -
Firstly Big Thanks for the posts BC and I can understand and appreciate how much work goes in to posting these comps. :beer:
I like the idea of them all being in one thread and also like your suggestion to post any missing ones with a link the the original post.
For some strange reason I tend to spread my entries to these comps over the month so I bookmark and enter as and when I have time. When they were individual threads my bookmark folders were quite long with all the individual comps. Now I still bookmark them but now add a note for myself to state which site I have entered with. Less stressful for me seeing less comps to enter in my bookmarks lolThe best things in life are free.....0 -
I liked them all together for entering so I think it was a successful experiment.
When it comes to adding on those additional ones published later, what about suggesting people subscribe to the post for additional updates when they become live? You could do a little post to say, eg, Link to Express now updated in post 1, and then subscribers would get an email to know to check the addition but all links would be in the one place for latecomers.
That way, you can decide if you want to subscribe for further entries or if you are happy just entering once, twice, etc.
Remember, in all of this, no one is missing out on entering the comp, but may just miss out on additional entries that they may or may not even want to partake in.
I'm sure Biker*Chick will use this month's experience and tweak it to suit her needs when posting.Thank you to everyone who posts on the competitions boards. You all rock!0 -
Think your doing a grand job, and appreciate a second post if they do appear on other sites as once I have done them and ticked them I rarely look at them again unless I have commented x0

the way they are all posted in one post is best and am very grateful for the way you are now doing it. However, devil's advocate, if one is not up at time of posting them anyone who finds it first should post it for the benefit of all. Just carry on in one post what you have. no hardship for the odd missing one to be posted by some else. Its what the forums all about. All members.August-September 2017: Lots of stuff

Do it however it works best for you. If a couple have to be posted in a new thread after the others it's no big issue. :A
I'm just glad I don't have to wade through a couple of pages of them to find where the others comps are, any more.0 -
Whichever way is easiest for you BC... :T:T:TCan't Smile Without You0

Thanks for posting the comps BC. I can see both sides, easier for OP to carry on as before, easier for compers to have all on one thread.
I have a new suggestion - have them all run on a continuous thread like the TAB/Puzzler - with BC being the main contributor.TOP MONEYSAVING TIP
Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!0 -
