    Might be a silly question, but ... when comps are added onto the magazines, why do they not add them to the top of the list? How do you know what is new and what's not?

    Also, just duped some because search didn't bring anything up :(

    Yes I know it's annoying that they do that. they must get paid to promote certain products.



    If you shorten your URL to something like this - https://comps.cosmopolitan.co.uk and copy paste into the search box you're see all the comps posted for that Mag daily, your ones and ones xLuckyxAshxWinsx posted. like this


    I open the search in a separate tab and then click back and fourth as I work through the new comps.

    Bumping this thread as due to personal circumstances, mclarkie won't be able to post mag daily competitions any more. 

    Jambo DP has kindly offered to help in the short term, but there are so many mags that mclarkie was covering that it is a mammoth task. 

    Do we have any volunteers to post a couple of mags on a regular basis?

    I can do a couple (as long as it's cool if I don't always get them posted the day they're open - I get on here most days, but not all), can put me down for Womens Own & Womens Weekly if you like?

    Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!

    Thank you @Oliveoyl
    I don't always get mine posted on the day they are first available, so I don't think this matters.  Woman's Own and Woman's weekly often share prizes with about 4 other mags, so they are best posted together.

    Would you mind doing say Trusted Reviews and Woman and Home?

    I replied to this a while ago - site gremlins!  Yes @Marg2k8 no probs, will start from tomorrow... it is just posting on the main board isn't it, there's nowhere else it gets added to these days?

    Thanks @oliveoyl - yes, just on the main board.  If you could include in the title (MD) it helps some people who search for it that way. @WeAreGhosts has also offered to do Cosmopolitan.  If anyone else would like to do a a couple you would be most welcome, but otherwise @JamboDP   will hope to manage the others.
    I keep a list of regular mag daily posters on this list, so I will update it.

    I think Woman & Home have malfunctioned - there's a comp just appeared to win tix to a comedy show on 16/04 - not only will it not be on, it says the comp ends on 22/04.  I'm not going to bother posting it.  :s

    I have posted the same one on Good Housekeeping as I have assumed ( possibly wrongly) that they think it may run later in the year. Its up to people if they want to take the chance and enter - quite a few of the comps posted are for events and tickets which are unlikely to go ahead  but I suppose there is a chance that they may be rescheduled for  later when this is all over.
