How we all doing, any wins yet?
The Advent board seems pretty quiet this year, I wonder if people are 1) not finding the forum or 2) just not doing them this year?
To be honest, I've barely done any this year.

no wins but have done loads, prefer to bookmark the ones I want to do then get an e mail when each one is updated, (works for me that way) quieter now the first 12 have gone0

One win from a 12 day advent, but entering as many as in previous years.0

To be honest ive not been comping at all since the new forum appeared.Still nosing on the other boards daily but find navigating comps horrid. There are loads less posted too but then i didnt enter FB or IG so dodged lots0

I have started IG this advent and enjoyed it use the same 3 people to tag and they use me etc so bit of fun (apart from yesterday when 2 sites tried to scam me1

I've had one little win so far. I think the advent board is a little harder to keep track of, just as i can't always tell which ones i've already checked during the day so i may miss out on some. I normally check my own bookmarked comps first, then trawl social media and then come to the boards sporadically during the day and try and work through what i have and haven't entered. I think i'm probably entering more as i'm doing more on twitter and instagram this year whereas i normally only enter a handful on social media.[COLOR="Px (urple"]Good luck for 2025 Comping!

Probably a bit of everything but mostly because they are not on the main board (thankfully)
just one easy to find comparison
ITV advent this year 12,600 views, last year 21,5002 -
I've actually found the advent board easier to use than when they were on main board. I dip in and out during the day, working through the pages and can tell if any new comments - both by where they are in the order and the fact they have a purple 'new' statement. I also dip into other comping sites and their advents are kept separate too. Most prizes on offer are quite small, so I'm not bothered if I have a day off entering
Have won a couple of prizes.2 -
I'm not really bothering with the advents this year, apart from Nintendo and Sandberg. I just find it takes too long otherwise0

I've been doing as many as possible and had 3 wins but so many IG ones! I feel like there are less Big companies doing it. Remember last year Sky & Freeview were involved. Also people keep trying to scam me on IG & FB.
I miss the old thanks button as I used it to highlight what I'd entered but the new comp-liment button is not as clear.Wins in 2023 - 35
Wins in 2022 - 43
Wins in 2021 - 62
Wins in 2020 - 68
Wins in 2019 - 54 -
I like the new advent board and prefer it to the old system. I’m finding it easier to enter lots of advents this year, but I’ve not had any advent wins yet.
