Can you reassure me...

that clicking on the back arrow of the internet browser, after submitting your comp entry and receiving the 'Congratulations you're entered into the draw' message, doesn't undo it? In the old days comps automatically opened in a new browser window but after a couple of years break I'm getting back into it, and find they don't any more. I'm not sure what it depends on. But clicking 'back' shouldn't affect things right? It would be pants to spend hours of each day entering comps only to be immediately undoing my own work!

Makes no difference, but if you are on a post with a link in it then instead of clicking on the left side of the mouse to open it click on the right side and bring up a list of options including "open link in new tab", "open link in new window" etc

Yeah, once you click the submit/enter competition button it will email your response or save it to a database so clicking back won't stop that happening, or cancel it, it'll already have been done.

The only issue you might have in doing that is it may submit the form again, so you will have entered twice, which will probably be against the competition terms ... They would need to be using pretty antiquated / sloppy code for that to happen though so generally I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks a lot guys!

if you hold down the ctrl key when you click it will open in a new tab too

Oh, wow, that's good to know! That'll be useful for those pesky ones that want multiple answers!
