Yes roly - you must be right. Last month I decided to divulge the loophole to CC and then offered to have my excessive ladder points docked, because I'd just got bored with it all. There's a certain satisfaction in discovering a loophole in the first place, but it soon wears thin. I will however, keep looking for this month's!

I advised CC of the loophole and it has been rectified. However it has now resulted in the points system becoming faulty. I have recently sent Private Messages to CC mentioning a number of issues but it seems that replies are not the norm.
As I have said before - points have no meaning anyway.

Probably my fault.
I made a change 'again' last weekend to plug a hole but may have messed things up.
Then I had to take my partner to the hospital and I've been there with her all week, she had to have an operation yesterday and I've just not had the chance to even check things.
After the operation was a huge improvement so I'm a little more interested in doing some work. I'm not sure I'll get a chance today but I'll fix the ladder as soon as possible.

Great news! Welcome back home Mrs Ukinet. Keep your OH in check!
Regarding the Ladder. For me when entering 'Ours' I get five points for each competition. Entering any other competition and no points are registered. Usually as soon as a comp link is clicked, four points are gained. This no longer happens.
I'm surprised that you find the Ladder is working. It hasn't worked for over a week now - although the leading user doesn't seem to have a problem. They were able to add over 200 points yesterday and currently 1,000 points ahead of me.
ukinet you did ask.
But I still don't understand what The Ladder and points are for.

I wouldn't expect a prize for the ladder as its just for fun.
What's far more meaningful is winning from the comps posted daily as that's where, as of today, £1,088,677 worth of prizes can be won!
Lets concentrate on what matters most, a few more comps added each day would do me even if the ladder was sacrificed to achieve that

Seeing as you have to enter the competitions to achieve the ladder points, the two things go hand in hand. You make it sound as though watching your progress on the ladder lessens your chances of winning competitions - the exact opposite is surely true because following the ladder encourages you to enter ever competition available. I'm sure that's why CC started the ladder in the first place.

Hi Pippin, regarding your quote "the ladder encourages you to enter ever(y) competition available" that's simply not the case with me.
I wasn't even aware there was a ladder until I think it was last year but I have been with CC for many years.
To ensure I have entered/marked as ignored all the competitions I try to keep up with them all including the new ones daily. But I often run out of time to achieve this.
When I haven't entered any for a few days I go through each category to ensure every comp is crossed off - indeed I thought that was the only way to be 100% sure.
I do look at the ladder, but purely for fun.
Should it be a relevant alternative I would rather have more comps and no ladder - but that's just my preference.
In conclusion, CC is a superb service and I'm extremely happy with all of it.

Just to say that I personally don't add comps, if I stopped doing any work on the site it wouldn't increase the amount of comps added.
Also, what happened last week before I had to stop updates was to make it so you could properly flag comps as ignored or entered, this stopped the ladder operating correctly.
At the moment you get ladder points and coins if you use the quick link button before logging the comp.
I will change this and make a post about it tomorrow.
It's a tough one, on one hand, if you log a comp as ignored then you won't be entering it so shouldn't get points, but then if you change your mind yes you should, but I have to prevent people changing the flag and getting points again and again.
While the ladder is only a fun thing I don't see any point in spending lots of time making it work for every scenario, so I'll make it work as well as I can asap.
That all probably sounds like gobbledegook, sorry I'm tired.
