Question about using competition forum

Hi,

I'm new to using the competition forum and have a quick question, I am logged in to my account and use the red cross to skip ones I don't want to enter, but when I log back in the red crosses and green ticks in post have disappeared - so I'm not sure which ones I have entered/ skipped.

Is this because I am clicking the back button to get from a post to the main forum? I found that this is the only way I could get back to the forum page I was on.

TIA

Ledoof

    Hi, welcome to the forum, I refresh the page after doing a few red crosses and they seem to stay hope this helps, good luck jan

    also just had a thought if you right click on the page you want to open it will open in a new link, therefore you do not need to use the back button.

    I've just checked this and my ticks disappeared.
    I open posts in a new tab then green tick and close the post after entering or red ticking. I also open links direct to competitions in a new tab just in case the competition can some how be tracked to MSE. Some sites might not be keen to give prizes to compers. They don't always realise compers are consumers too.

    They do disappear if you go back from a thread but should reappear if you refresh the page.
