Thank you @EnglishWelshie, @redfox5, @mclarkie, @ally86 - I've updated the list

@EnglishWelshie there were a couple of of mags that @mclarkie had already offered on (Recombu & Real People) so if you want to decide between you who wants them.

It leaves only a couple to pick up which I'm happy to pick up, although I don't ever remember Look competitions being posted here, does anyone know.  I don't have a log in for those so will need to sort that over the weekend sometime.

Thanks all x

@Ms_Chocaholic I'm happy to go with whatever @mclarkie wants to do 

Look magazine did used to have competitions on but only have the ones with no end date on now. I won a holiday to Chamonix with them many years ago from one entry  I had to reregister again today to check if there was any on them. 

If there's any you want me to pick up and do just let me know.

Sorry I didn't realise you already had those two I'm happy to take on what ever is left over. I'm easy.

@mclarkie I didn't really already have any I have just been going through them this morning to help out and get them shared on the boards. Same as you I don't mind which I do. Should we leave it how @Ms_Chocaholic has added our names to her post with all the comps? If there are any you want me to take over I'm happy to do so

I really don't mean to sound ungrateful, but is it not easier for users to just bookmark the magazine competition pages and then enter whichever ones they wish from there?

All of these are already listed together in another thread.

Just seems like a waste of time to post them all individually and with less cops overall being posted these days, it seems to clog up the pages a bit.

No it's not easier to just bookmark the competition pages as it is time consuming having to check for the answers every day if you forget what the answer is.

The other thread they are listed on is an old thread that isn't updated.

The whole point of the boards is to post as many comps as possible so that people don't miss out on them which would happen if they were all listed together. Not everyone does them daily and many will probably just do them by end date so would miss out completely if they weren't on the main board. This is the way they have always been done.

I hope that answers your questions 

I agree with EnglishWelshie and a comp board with competitions posted is why we are here isn't it

Thank you, I will put my name against the missing one (Runners World) and will keep an eye on Look intermittently just in case any pop up at any point, I'll update the list now.  Thank you.  Oooh the trip to Chamonix sounds amazing.

@Ms_Chocaholic it really was amazing and opened my eyes up to a different type of holiday that I would never have thought about. It was a summer holiday and going high up in the alps the views were amazing. The promotions team put us in a hotel more suited to our age group and instead of the activities they gave us £300 spending money instead.

I've posted a few but it's difficult to know what hasn't already been post as the search on the forum is hit and miss.

I always use this link that JamboDP posted on another thread for searching. As far as I know it has worked alright for me as not had anyone say I've duped. If any mag dailies do get duped though at least no-one will be disqualified as you can only enter the once. I search by the comp title first as that is usually a c&p from the website as the website doesn't always show up if the link is hidden.
