Problems entering WM comps online
Query for Webbo:-
I've just tried to enter one of the WM writing comps online.
Two issues with it. Firstly, once I had uploaded my entry I had terrible trouble finding the shopping basket. (It way over to the right at the top, in case anyone else can't find it.)
Secondly, it would ony give me the non-subscribers price for the entry, even though I have registered and my subscribers number is inlcuded in my account details on the site.
I haven't completed the entry and there is plenty of time left, so advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm having trouble with this - it is now displaying the correct price for me. I'm sorry for the faff, but please could you call me (0113 2002913) when convenient and we'll try to get to the bottom of it?
*wonders if Willy would speak to me*
Just to say, we've got Heather sorted out now, and I believe competition entries are working correctly, so enter away, and let me know if you have any more problems.
(Webbo is a very, very nice man!)

Where does one find a Willy that talks, perchance?
Try tickling him, that normally gives rise to some response.
:D
And while you're at it, chuck us a few squiggles re the meaning of life too.
Ta muchly.

There are some pop ups that really scare me, you know.
Only if soap and water are included first.
He helps someone out and people get suggestive.
I would like to point out that he was a perfect gentleman and - as far as I could tell - was in no way in need of a wash. :)
I can breathe easy now.
My account is showing my subscriber number but when viewing my basket (after uploading), I'm getting the non-subscriber price.
Sorry Webbo. :/
The subscriber number you see has been allocated by the online system when you registered. It is not the same as your 'paper' subscriber number. WN have to merge your online and paper accounts for this to work and this will be easily done if you give them a ring. (I'm pretty sure you can't do it yourself.)
We've had severe difficulties over the weekend and yesterday, which prevented several sections of the site working, but everything should be back to normal now.
Do you know your subscriber number? If you're not a subscriber the process should be fairly painless, but do let me know if you have further trouble.
Thanks.
If I can find the thread I'll bring it to the top.
For some reason also, every time I try the writers-online website, for a while afterwards I cannot access any other site, as it always returns to that one!!!
I've got to contact them too, as I posted the details of our writers' group for listing in that section of the site and the details have still not appeared a week later...
Carol, I'll make sure your group's listing is approved tomorrow.
