  • Also happening to me too, I can see a lot more users leaving after this, it's a silly update.

    What is this rubbish?  No other site has this rubbish.  It was bad enough when they made it so that when you clicked a link is ceased to open a new window and replaced the existing one and now we get this.

    Just who is making these poor decisions?
  • Not just on Compers Forum. Just had it happen to me on a totally unrelated to Comps forum.

    Well said @One-Eye - adding my vote to the universal hatred of this ridiculous feature.

    That is pathetic there is no wonder the amount of new comps are at an all time low.
    I do it just for fun and whatever I win is a bonus

    As someone with extremely limited time to do competitions this is having a serious impact my already limited time. If this doesn't change i'll have no option but to go.somewhere else.

    Same here too - I came on here to see if was the same for other people. It didn't happen earlier this afternoon so is a very recent change - I hope it's not a permanent one!
