Can anyone help please: after I've logged in, I simply cannot find the competitions. I'd appreciate some guidance. Thanks, Mata Hari

Just been asked by Capricorn to contact management as she cannot log in anymore for no reason that she is aware of? Help please?

Have just joined site and don't know my way around it yet. How do I know if anyone replies to my comments please?

I wrote a post and titled it Happy Shopper and when it came to posting it I looked to see where I could post it and it seems that I have to encroach on somebody else's topic. I wanted to put it in General but it would not let me but I could put it in somebody else's topic .??? Why will the forum not allow me to post in General.? I do not want to upset anyone by posting something that has nothing to do with their posts.

It's more a problem with understanding the site. I have just been told that I have an Up vote. What is an Up vote, do I need to access some message and how? Keith

When I log in I have a tab in red saying " you have 4 notifications " when I go to my forums " you have 0 unread " ????
