    Hope you can help with this. For the first time ever, I've got a matching number on the Daily Mail scratchcard Race to Riches, on the back of the card. It seems to be an internet game, as it says play every day at www.dailymail.co.uk. I've been all over the Daily Mail's site, but can't find anywhere to put in my number. Has anyone ever done this, or do you know where it can be found? Would be grateful for your advice.

    Don't know if many folks will see this here but............regarding the comps ending threads - would it be possible to put a note at the top of the thread reminding people not to bump the old posts with the 'i've entered','thanks','cheers' blah blah as I have come across dozens of old threads all closing tomorrow (well today actually now:rolleyes: ) with just those words tagged on the bottom.

    And as I was playing catch up due to cracking the screen on my precious 3mth old lappy a couple of weeks ago :mad: i was quite cross.

    And yes I did notice it was newer peeps who don't know any better, but it is a rule that is there for a reason.

    ok that's off my chest now....

    Happy Easter Everyone

    Just a quick post to see if anyone can advise.

    When filling in a comp entry and on one line it asks for your 'House No' and then on the second line it says 'Address 1' or '1st Line of Address', do you include your house no again where it asks for the first line of your address?

    I PM them with:

    Hi there. Do you know that you could save yourself a lot of time and effort by clicking the Thanks button at the bottom of a post?

    It would save you the time spent in posting yourself, and you'd know that you had entered the comp, or at least seen the post before.
    <!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-->
    <!--[endif]-->
    It also avoids moving the message up the board, and annoying people!
