    I'm sorry but I won't be continuing any further with the compilation of the comps ending lists.

    I'm sure I'm not the only one to really appreciate all the hard work you've put in :A...and I'm also sure no-one was expecting you to do it FOREVER :D
  • I'm sorry but I won't be continuing any further with the compilation of the comps ending lists. :)

    I think you did a great job.. including those who signed up to do the comps ending considering it is only really done for the lurkers..
    I dont mean that in a rude way..
    Some of those lists are huge and must take alot of time from your day

    I'm sorry but I won't be continuing any further with the compilation of the comps ending lists. What started off as enjoyment for me with being able to help out and keep the lists organised, has turned into a bind, and a frustrating one at that where I find myself continually banging my head against a brick wall and tbh i feel I put so much time into it with little thanks back.
    I'm sorry if that is rude but is how I feel so guess I can't help that.
    July's list is sorted now so nothing more needs to be done about that, but perhaps someone else may like to organise the lists or an alternative method of organisation could be suggested?
    Toniq has put herself forward for the 1st and last week of August so if people are ok with that, then the middle 2 weeks only need filling.
    :)
    would like to thank you for compiling the lists and although i am against these an have used them (only bevcause they are there) i feel you have done a fantastic job.
    it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to do these lists and i for one wouldnt like to do them. comping should be fun not tedious searching through threads all day
    i feel however if you miss out on a comp then that should be it
    once again thansk for the lists and enjoy comping

    Help....
    Yesterday there was a competition where the date of birth was not submitting...
    No
    I can't remember what the prize was or who posted it but its..
    driving me crazy.
    I've looked back over the last 15 pages and none of them ring a bell.
    I should be ironing, so if someone knows what I'm talking about then I can get back to domestic bliss!!

    Grrrrrrrr spoke too soon, it's still acting up. It keeps coming up with a select alternative box - mostly for country - which it never did before. It's annoying me now! :mad:

    If it's any consolation, you are not alone :o I just did a Google search for 'autofill select alternative' & it seems there is a discussion forum for Mozilla stuff & the poster yesterday at 1.41pm (MichaelBrock) shares your issue. Seems to be saying that if there is a drop down list (like county or country) then autofill used to just find the right one on the list but now it makes him select it as it doesn't seem to see the right option. (also the guy after the next one having the same issue).

    No answer on there (yet) but if you try going to Settings & then Advanced, if you have a tick beside 'Use selected alternatives index for subsequent selections' try turning it off? :confused: It sounds like it may have something to do with the problem, not sure what it might have a knock on effect on, but if it makes it worse you can also nip back in & re-tick it? :) Good luck!
