    What a mess, what are the chances of MSE putting it all back as it was, as this new method is not working is it!0

    Im very reluctant to post anything at the moment, im not liking the atmosphere, look or problems this is all creating.

    Funny thing is, I think, for once, this is something nearly everyone agrees on! :rotfl:

    Maybe that was the plan!!! :D

    I've moved the 50 odd that haven't ended yet back to main

    I've done a search of titles for E: 31/01 and yes they are still all on mains, however this isn't an easy way to move them to GO as it picks up other comps eg E: if you search for E: 12/01 it will also pick up E: 20/01 win 12 cd's, which means I have to read every title (I used to move using the sort function 200 at a time) plus it will be no use finding the ones that only have the forum added ED!!

    You're a star, thanks for doing that!! :T

    I think with the ones that still have the date in the title, you can still sort them normally to remove them for now? It just becomes difficult with the few that have been posted since the 'ban'.

    Evening everyone

    You'll be happy to hear we're going to switch the E: ability back on.

    If you could be a little patient while we wait for our devs to do it that would be hugely appreciated.

    Thanks :)

    there seems to be a lot of 'end: unknown' in GO too?? maybe they've all been moved there?

    It looks like literally, any thread that, no matter how old, does not have the "new" ED has been populated with End: Unknown.

    If you now sort Game Over by using the End Date sort, there are 12 threads showing future "new" end dates where the poster has input the date incorrectly.
    In reality this are all past date End Dates which are correctly in GO.

    Woo hoo!! Does that mean everyone that has posted today is going to have to edit their posts though??

    ETA: Would still LOVE to know why you felt it was necessary to ban it in the first place though??!!!
