Competitions
After months of not being able to enter competitions because I couldn't even log into the site, I am now able to do so, even though my old password no longer worked. But why do two of the current competitions have a 'Vote' button rather than an 'Enter' button, and then have a 'Cancel vote' button after voting/entering?
It's a default on the site software, and one I been begging to get changed. Bit like the button on the forums that says 'save' and should logically say 'post' or 'send'
Thanks for your replies. Can you confirm that my entries would still have been accepted (since I was presented with the 'cancel vote' option after 'voting')?
One other thing - last time I used the site, I had to set up a new password, but it didn't work when I tried to log on today, and I had to go through the 'forgotten password' process yet again.
Yes, they will have been accepted.
And provided you're using your username and password to log-in, all should now be well. If you have further problems email me at the usual contact address, and we'll do a workaround on the password
Where do the winners of competitions get announced?
Either in these forums or in the news channel.
Yes, I always post names of the winners here on the Forums and of course they will be contacted directly by email with details of how to claim their prize.

Can you please point the way to the competition results/winners, as I can't find them on the site currently?
Thanks Andrew. I did miss these previously.
Shame, I didn't win the PB1i's; they would have been very nice. Though, I haven't seen the results of the Spendor A5 competition yet, so fingers crossed. TBH, the Spendors would be a much better match for my system/room anyway.
Cheers.
...And of course if you do win a competition we contact you using the email address you used when you registered: it's not a case of you having to spot the forum announcement then claim your prize.
whilst on subject, for the competition held every month or so...how many applicants are there for the prize...what are the chances of winning?
The entry numbers vary from month to month and from prize to prize. Suffice it to say we now have getting on for 100,000 registered members, many of whom enter the competitions, so really the only was to ensure you're in with a chance (provided, that is, you are in the UK and thus eligible to win) is to make sure you enter!
I did, & haha i won. The 3D LG reader test...

Any news on when the lovely Spendor A5 competition results will be announced?
Many thanks.

Apologies for that. No idea why the comps now say vote....I'll need to check with the site's tech team in the morning; they have been doing some work on the site this week, which could explain things!
