quick request, I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but can competition poster's please write the answer in plain text somewhere on their post?

Alot of competitions where the bullet point answers have been copied and pasted turns into computer babble <smurf#[];HAT%checked£MONKEY> and you can't actually see where the answer is! MSE seems to lose the formatting or similar.

So posters please put the answer there clearly for us who can't work out the answers!

If this is a good idea, then can it be mentioned on the new 'Comps Ending...' as every1 sees those!

THANKS!!

I think this is happening after they are posted.
I've never found this a problem before but the last few days there have been loads. Is it to do with them being moved to game over?

krailton

its not just game over i have found them in but also uptodate ones as well but only the last days

just want to check with everyone who enter ITV competitions, do they need to put their (mobile number or it must be the landline) inside the phone number text box.

This is because i noticed in their terms and conditions they say only 30 or 20 entries per household which i think is normally identifiable by the landline number (not a mobile number) unless they use the IP address to check on the number of entries made regardless of the phone number being entered.

I put a mobile number & it identifies when I've entered 20 / 30 times

and me too

i put a mobile number too. But the words per household is confusing me.

This is because on the entry form no address is asked for and no landline. So for example if me and my sister live at the same address and both of us enter using our mobile phone numbers then its not anymore per household entries and there is only 1 winner at the end. No runner up prizes. In this case it seems a "Per Person entry".

wem = winning e mail



also:

lwe = long white envelope
wpc or wtc = winning telephone call

This has no doubt been mentioned before, but I've searched and can't find it, so apologies for any duplication.

When doing the (many) ITV comps, is there anyway in IE that you "save" the form details? I use Roboform, so it's quick to reproduce the details every time, but it would be even quicker if the form would save after pressing the back button

I've read that the details will save in Firefox if you don't type/mis-type the code at the bottom and press the back button, but this doesn't seem to work in IE.

Can someone please confirm that there's no way the process can be quickened in IE.

Thanks,
Mimi
