    If they are touting the comp forum in such a big way then they should give us ways to filter comps and make it more user friendly.

    Ways you can find all Fb/raff/tw/mags by 1 click etc, they should invest in the comps board even though we have been told before we are just a small part of Mse yet we consistently are one of the top hit boards.

  • the more the merrier!
    hopefully if one in a hundred new visitors enjoy comping they may actually share comps and contribute in a positive way!

    I shouldn't, no I should, no, really I shouldn't, oh, OK, maybe I should :rotfl:
    All I do is enter the instant wins now, from approx 6am to 11pm with two 10 minute breaks a day but I have had two wins in the last 8 years - one was a Celine Dion CD and the other was a £5 voucher for C&A

    I totally agree!


    Instead of making the board easier to use, they have made it more difficult. Can no longer move across 10 pages, reduced to 4; unable to automatically see links in new tabs or windows; not allowed to post winners lists.

    For anyone new reading this thread, welcome! Comping is a great hobby and whilst you might not win all that the MSE newsletter claims you will, you'll still have fun and this is a great community. Enjoy it!
  • comping is fun but wins are also nice however I couldn't pay my rent off my wins lol.
    my dad has just started comping and yesterday I asked him how he was getting on he said I am waiting on 18 comps, confused I asked him to explain more. well he said "I have entered 18 comps and I am waiting to see if I win them before I enter more" umm! not holding my breath for him lol

    Its nice to see new winners rather than regulars boasting about another big win month after month.

    A friend of mine started recently and won some trainers via facebook. It meant more to her than anything!

    I miss the days of when wins felt amazing.
    Wishing you all good luck!
