thanks
It should be the choice of the person who posts the competition and relevant information. Those forum members who post the competition details and take time to find the answers are amazing for all the hard work they do.
"It has always been below the link." but is it the best place especially now other things have changed?
"The first thing you need to do is enter" granted, but would the slight change in postioning of the link stop you from doing this? Or are you entering directly from the email?
"You only need to see and know the amount if you are lucky enough to receive the phone call" are you really saying you haven't taken note of the amount (or artist etc) in case you're called? I've seen tales of people who didn't have it right in front of them, in some other place than their phone, it didn't work out well for them!

Below the linkPersonally I prefer it below because as far as I can remember it has always been below but I may be wrong. I, like a lot of others enter a large amount of competitions and for these radio based competitions I personally keep each page/tab open on my computer so I can go straight to it should I be lucky enough to get the call. Personally it is impossible for me to remember which particular amount and artist relates to which radio station competition as both change every day.
At present I have access to my computer at the relevant time of each competition's end time. If I am not going to be available then I note the amount and/or artist elsewhere to take with me. And if I were not available to take the call then I would be one of the unlucky people who missed out on that particular chance to win. If I know I am definitely not going to be available to take the call on that particular day then I don't enter to avoid disappointment.
Yes things are changing but not everything has to. Be it above or below it would not stop me entering in my own particular way. If it changes it changes.0 -
Below the linklucylou05 said:@Didoow ridiculous (I was being polite to how I truly felt) in the sense that the op is going above & beyond daily on several posts to provide links, answers, the whole caboodle in fact, so to question their format, when whether at work or not, it takes 2seconds to click the link, I feel is a cheek & lazyWins - £48k 2019, £5k 2020, £1000 2021, £280 2022 ... £196k to the £1/4 million target ...1
