  • I've made a Python script that crawls through several C2W sites and saves the competition URLs from those sites to a text file. At the same time, it also checks each URL to see if it's not already saved in an older version of the text file. If this is the case, then those URLs are probably for newly added competitions. Sometimes, the "new" URLs are for competitions that I've already entered; they (the prize givers) occasionally change the URL for a competition because of a typo or something like that.

    I check out the new competitions to see if the prizes are something I'd like. If so, I go to the /rules page and bookmark all the links.

    I think it is an extension to the browser (not sure if just Chrome) enabling you to open all the URLs in separate tabs. But not having used it before, that is the limit of my knowledge.

    Are these running slowly for anyone else the last couple of days ?. Everything else seems absolutely fine but these are taking ages to get through.

    If you use Chrome you can open all the links in a bookmarked folder by "right clicking" on the folder and selecting "open all bookmarks" which will open them in new tabs (the other options are open in new windows or open in incognito windows) - opening too many at once can cause significant slow down or freezing
  • Hi all,


    A quick question. I have been entering these for a few months now and am yet to win a clink to win prize. Have many of you won?


    Also I have noticed when you type in your email address it is now all in caps and my email is all lower case. Does this impact?


    Many thanks
    Kelly
