    Kisto posted this in discussion thread

    The way to find comps by ending date on here is:

    Scroll to the bottom of the main competition forum. There are some drop down boxes (under the heading display options).

    Choose:

    sorted by - "thread title"
    sort order - descending or ascending     (what ever is your personal preference)

    The threads on the forum are then organised by the ending date stated in the thread title. Navigate your way through the pages until you find the ending date you want. Now that divadee has gone to great lengths to ensure they are all titled correctly, the threads are actually very well organised into groups.

    Hope this helps you out a little :D

    Can I ask how long it took for the Cider winners to get their case of cider??

    I had an email on the 20th August saying it would be here by last Wednesday:confused:

    I want my ciderrrrrr :p

    I noticed in my email that it says if you are not in then they will just leave it at your door. Any chance someone's pinched it?

    I had an email a while back on a Monday and it arrived (amtrak) on the friday, so I would maybe get in touch with them and chase it up - [strike]sorry I don't have the amtrak contact,[/strike] I deleted the email from them thinking it was spam, but the cider arrived ok anyway! ;)

    eta - just saw in another post that amtrak went bust (<- link to amtrak & cust service number)- and business post are doing their deliveries, maybe thats the problem????

    So some disgruntled amtrak driver is drowning his sorrows in my cider crying2.gif
    At least I know they will send it over here Josie, thanks :D

    Chezas - That is a possibility but I'm hoping my neighbours wouldn't be so dishonest.

    I have emailed them, will update when they reply.

    "I am having NO problems finding future comps using the sorting method explained so perfectly by Kisto - thanks again :D

    What my addled brain is struggling with is how to find comps that end on the day I am sorting the list on........03/09's come up beautifully today but 02/09's don't, hence my question.

    Presumably tomorrow, 04/09's will come up easily.......but the ones ending on 03/09 may not."

    I feel like a lone voice googling in the wilderness here, but if you put

    "E:02/09" site:moneysavingexpert.com
    into google it will find them whether they are game overed or not.

    Aw - thanks Hun, don't feel like a lone voice........I listened!! :D

    I have done that too (Googling) but it didn't bring up many 03/09 comps, but a reorganising the list here, brought up loads that Google didn't.....

    :rotfl:

    I'll try it again today and see how I get on!

    The reason I keep suggesting Google is that so many people seem confused and even scared by the idea of sorting the threads whereas everyone, pretty much, knows how to google. It's an easy way to start. If people know that they can always google if they make a mess of thread sorting it might give them the confidence to experiment.

    Or again, it might not :confused:
