    Don't bump every thread just for the sake of typing Thanks!

    My laptop has been whisked away to Hewlett Packard and my computer isn't as fast :cry:

    Checking through bumped threads takes up entering / searching / posting time, and yes I could sort threads by posting time but I miss out on stuff then :)

    Thanks :beer:

    PMd a few people yesterday - still got 40-odd pages to get through, and names come up... as well as lots of posts that I'd already seen... :D

    I do it also :)

    In case you meant Kingolotto, rather than Banana.

    What's happened to it? They seem to have changed the format, so before you selected 2 lots of numbers per day, you now select 10 lots of numbers!

    Not sure if I willl be bothered to do that.

    I have won £50 before so it is/was worth doing.

    Err thanks for moving my post so it gets lost in the mire!

    Could all those that do the comps ending thread please put a note in the OP ( or title) to remind people NOT to bump the threads, a press of the thanks button will suffice unless they are already over and it will bring it to a BG's attention

    Thank you :)

    Another thing I find annoying is when people bump a thread to say its closed - if it was ignored then it would just stay dead. Sorry, only a little rant - am i allowed one occasionally.

    If its bumped to say its over ( especially if it is before the expected end date) it can bring it to the attention of the BG's so it can be moved, plus it should show in the OP's user CP (if they check it) and they can amend the title so we can see its over


    If you do notice a dead comp and don't want to bump it, PM a BG and get them to move it
