    You have to be logged out (or go incognito etc),


    ah thanks for that mjm, I couldn't see that as I use Firefox but see what you mean when I go into Chrome (In Congnito), so I'll go and add Member Details to the ones I've posted :beer:

    Just repeating what i posted on one of the threads.

    I tweeted them about this a few months back and basically if there is no entry form, then it is for paid members only. Posting a comment isn't an entry.
    The only way to tell if its free entry is for a non-paid member to click on each competition and see if there is a form. They're all mixed up on their comp page, so clicking on them and looking for the form is the only way to tell the difference.
    Thank you to everyone who posts on the competitions boards. You all rock!

    If you are not logged in they either say registered users for the free ones or candis members if it's for subscribers.

    On their giveaways pages the first 4 were free and all the rest were subscribers (including every one on pages 2 & 3)

    Just had a look at their competitions page, there are only 4 on it and they are all on the giveaways pages as well (they are all subscribers only)

    Subscribe now and become a Candis Gold member for £44.90


    so I would say that they should not be posted on here as it is over the limit of £2.00


    I have been posting the Candis comps for the last 4 or 5 years and have never posted the members comps because of this.
    I do it just for fun and whatever I win is a bonus

    I'm a bit confused by all this (doesn't take much). So if the ones that anyone can enter were already posted, but have vanished - how do we know if we entered before?
    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!

    I just had a look at one of the ones I did when trying it out earlier today and it says "You have already entered this competition."

    the free to enter ones were left on the main board, only the ones you had to be a paid member to enter were deleted :)
