New click to win format

booklover500

I have just gone back to the TV Choice Click to Win after a few days off and the format is completely changed!

I don't like the fact that you now have to click through separate categories. The page numbers have gone and it's really difficult to navigate - you just get random ones pop up after each entry - there is no order or logic to it- I hate it now!!

Is anyone else finding it a pain in the backside to use?!!

There are a pain aren't they.

The easiest way I've found to do them is say take a break.when it comes up if you are using a mouse instead of normal clicking click the mouse wheel in the middle this will bring up the comp in a new window. Enter it then close the window & you will then have the original list still there for you to do the same with the rest of them

If on a tablet hold your finger on the enter button which will bring up the option of opening in a new window

I don't know if it's just me but the page numbers appear when you first open it but as soon as you have entered one comp they disappear!

I can't find the page again without clicking on your link and most of the comps just disappear.

If they don't sort it out I think I will have to give up on them!

I right click on the ones I want to enter and open them in a new tab, it's a bit of a pain but not too bad as I'm so used to doing it on here now.

I don't think there is anything to sort out from their point of view, the format ran on just a few of them before they rolled it out to the rest so presumably they are happy with it.

if you want a quicker way of opning in a new tab if you dont have snap links hold down ctrl then click the link

I'm guessing they have done it so automated entries can not enter all the comps on each site now.

Actually, it is now easier for automated entries via bots, all they do is open each comp from a stored url for each comp and enter and then close each tab in the same way as mentioned in the posts above. It is pretty much what was done before the format change and nothing will change now apart from making it much more time consuming and frustrating for genuine compers.

Even as a die hard doing all the click to wins daily, I have now stopped for a break this month for the fist time in 4 years. In the old format it was taking me a little over a couple of hours to do the lot, now it takes more than double that. That is time I cannot now afford when there are many other comps to do. I even looked into scripts, my thinking was if you can't beat them join em, even though i have found discussion on the interwebs on script writing sites about doing this exact thing I don't have the knowledge on how to implement what they are talking about. So. for now I will take a break from these until the new year and consider my options. The upside is even though I haven't been entering I still won a prize last week, Oxo Kitchen Tools which turned up today :j
