Has anyone got less spam over the last 24/48 hours?
It's a weird one as the email addy i use for my comps i have to check every 3 hours or so to clear it out as there used to be about 20 emails full of spam mostly about !!!!!! or watches,you know the sort.There might have been the odd newsletter there to unsubscribe from.But over the last 24 or 48 hours as i say i have only got emails or newsletters from proper sites,it's weird.

Not for me, I had a surge in emails one day earlier in the week but only a few less today Still coming in dribs and drabs :rolleyes:

For some strange reason over the last week or so I seem to have started receiving cyrillic (sp?) spam - looks like they are written in Russian or something. At least it's easier to kill those as they definitely won't be comp wins

I've just got an e-mail to say I've won a consolation prize of one million great british pounds.
I wonder what first prize was!:rolleyes:

Regarding daily emails, since the 20th I have had ONE & ONE only, I sign in every day & I've been getting all my other daily emails EVERY day without fail so it must be a problem with this paticular forum somehow.

Someone please tell me how to post pics on here, I just cant work it out

kips guide to posting pictures in a [strike]lot[/strike] few easy stages



Find a piccy you like on the internerd


You then need to either get its properties ( by right clicking the pic and selecting properties or if its from google images click on the link and then click show full image)


The properties should look something like this ending in .gif or .jpeg etc

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/images/editor/insertimage.gif


Highlight and copy the properties or the link that the full image google images gives you in the address bar


Then come back here and start a post


Click the box and remove the http bit as you would if you was doing a clicky


Click ok


Preview the post first because the picture may be huuuuuge and stretch the pages and thats not nice on the eye




If its ok, your desired pic is on MSE


If you end up with a little red cross that is as you have hotlinked!


There is other ways such as using photobucket or tinypic, but thats a whole other story!

Hi debbie and welcome to MSE


Take some time to read the stickies at the top of this board, they will give you hints and tips on how to comp, any questions pop them in the discussion thread and someone will be along to help


Then go through the board and start entering comps, enter as many or as little as you like while you get the hang of it and most of all Good Luck
