  • Another vote for The Lady - I open it and leave it for a while on a new tab then come back to it and sometimes that works.

    As for Female First, I have given up with it - so much to fill in for mostly dvd prizes.

    DOBLotto... its been driving me loopy recently, despite entering my details correctly it constantly takes me to a 'whoops' page. I just go round in circles :wall: Feel like I've aged about 20 years in the last week through pure frustration, maybe I should set up a new account to rep my new older age :think: :rotfl:

    Just did the one where if you hit roboform it fills everything in and scrolls you to the submit for a quote section, always close to submitting that instead of the comp (then you have to do tabbing gymnastics to uncheck the tick box). Scoundrels.

    Another vote here for The Lady and Female First. The popups on the lady are so annoying especially when you are just about to hit the submit button and the popup appears. Female first I always skip these days.

    Cannot remember the sites - but there are a few with a 'submit' and 'clear form' tab sitting side by side....and when you have just filled in the form and you hit the 'clear form' tab by accident.....grrrrr!
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    One of the mags has another comp posted between details and the entry button. It's so easy to hit the wrong "Enter" and be whisked to some spammy comp.

    Also, Mumsnet doesn't seem to allowing you to log in with FB lately. If you try, it wants to register you and you can't because your email is already in use :O

    Definitely Female first for me too - I only enter for a prize I really really want and then through gritted teeth. Why TF do they need to know if I'm married or whatever along with all the rest, way too intrusive.
    The lady is also my second choice.
    Also the various hobby sites that have the strange thing where you have to choose your answer to log in (it won't let you answer without logging in or log in without answering) then you get all this stuff that updates your account and you have to tick the answer again at that stage, then an e-mail saying you've updated your account.

    Take a Break and That's Life have revamped their websites, very bright colours which I don't like and also the login button does not appear for me for ages, and I sit there waiting and clicking various buttons, why do they change their layouts when it was fine before.
  • I find the daily star, express, star etc competitions annoying to enter because of the captcha, it won't work if my iPad is sideways and currently I seem to have to go through about 50 different picture exercises to enter.

    Not really bad but some of the Heart, Capital etc competitions are a bit annoying when you have to be logged-in to enter but you still have to fill in all the address details.
