    Surely no-one would waste their time expiring all the comps on a page without looking the dates? It would require a HUGE misunderstanding of how the boards are arranged, and again it would require several people to make that error

    The whole thing is just peculiar.

    Well, we found about 20 yesterday without looking too hard, so someone/something is definitely expiring them ! I "x" out the ones I don't enter and I'm pretty much up to date with comps at the moment. Out of the c. 20 I found last night, I'd missed all but one before.

    Plus some had little formatting errors in the title e.g. "E 04/06" instead of "E: 04/06" so wondering if people are clicking expired rather than PM'ing the OP to get the : added

    As you say, it's peculiar

    I've seen quite a few lately that have been in GO with wrongly formatted titles, and they seem to have gone there via the expired button, when I have time I do arrange the board in end date order and the ones with wrong titles show up on either the first or last page and I edit them, so please don't expire them :)
