Trying to enter 2 competitions - Webbo?
I have just tried to enter two competitions - the short story for children about a dog, and the subscribers only three items one.
I uploaded the doggy one successfully and my basket showed £3.
I uploaded the 3 items one and my basket returned to £0.
Now I don't know whether I should start again or not.
HELP!

Thanks folks :)
When I went to my account, after telling Liz the above, I found mention of a comp I haven't entered, (Adonis to Zorro?)and not the one I have. I did get a message on the screen at the time of entering (the "All a Dream" comp) saying I had entered successfully, but Webbo, it isn't a very secure feeling!
The last one I entered online, I didn't get any sort of message at all, at any time, and I'm not convinced the entry ever made it. Being free comps, we can't even check that we've been debited for a fee, which would sort of confirm things.
We put a lot of hope into sending in entries, Webbo - please can you make it more satisfactory?
You should be able to see your previous entries (even the free ones) in your account details, but I appreciate that's no use if the site isn't treating that info correctly (ie your Adonis to Zorro entry).
If you'd like to confirm whether any entries have been received, whisper here or email me [email protected] including your surname and postcode.
I apologize for the THREE typos in this one sentence! That should be "get two entries" and "From me".
Just goes to show I should not type anything in the half-light at nine pm after a glass of wine.

Exactly, bb. Apart from being shortlisted once - oh frabjous day! - I have no certain knowledge that my many entries arrived safely.
I am reluctant to return to snail-mail, for financial and time reasons, and besides, this online stuff is supposed to make things easier, ain't it??
:)
if the payment is listed, that should mean we've got it, but by all means whisper me your surname and postcode and we'll have a check.
There should have been a confirmation email for the paid comps, so thanks for letting me know that's not working.
How do I find my subscriber number? Please don't say "On the piece of paper that comes with the magazine" because I've thrown it away!
Then store that number somewhere safely...:)
Do you mean my photograph? I decided it was pointless having a photograph that showed hardly any of my face so I replaced it with the OLG logo from my website. I've used the photograph on my profile page where more of it shows.
Yes, we were the only two TBers that had a window to peer through.
:D

You only need to input your surname, postcode and subs number, and it should find you quite quickly
I just don't trust that I've clicked all the right buttons or that it gets to where it should go.
I'm stuck in the time warp of A4 envelopes and stamps that say 'Large' on them!
