    Cool So you want a piece of the action?

    The competition action that is.

    If you're not a member of the HEXUS.trust then you can't enter our fantastic competition to win a HEXUS built Athlon FX based PC. So, just to show how easy it is to participate even if you aren't registered in HEXUS.trust, here's a little guide...



    Firstly visit http://users.hexus.net - You'll see along the middle of the screen that a competition is going on, but it's grey because you cannot enter yet. To the right is a login box, underneath which is a link you click to register.



    Now you need to painstakingly fill in the registration form... well only the orange boxes actually; the rest are optional.



    At the bottom of the registration page, read the agreement and check the accept box - then click the button at the bottom.



    Hurrah, that's registration done. Now you have to confirm your e-mail address. Check your inbox; the e-mail is usually instant. Follow the activation link in your e-mail - you'll be met with a confirmation screen, then forwarded to the main Users page.



    Enter your login and password and click the login button...



    The competition link is now in all its orange glory. Click the link and check out the competition. The multiple choice question is at the bottom of the page - select an answer and click the button... you have entered the competition!

    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    I've entered cheers
    Just a few things:
    1. (FAO: Az) Username Input
    Firefox does a little drop down box for my username so I only ahve to type in T then press down. When I press down I get that stupid javascript or whatever popup saying I cant enter / . ' " ~ # etc in the username box...which I dont want to...tres annoying.
    2. Let me win please...thankyouverymuch.

    I emailed it and ticked the boxy thing, there was talk of the question being wrong or the answers being wrong or something, I am choosing to ignore that part tho as it'll be the basis of my court action when i dont win
