    I would add that if it was on the page but it does not show it so I suppose it must be just be as they get to the total required.

    Then it's your best guess, such as

    E: 25/11?

    Just had a look at the page and they have 40 out of 5,000 so probably a long way off

    I did check and was told until the amount of likes is up to the required amount so no actual end date as such then for this one.

    Also to note they have added a 2nd one so perhaps believe that 5k is a long way off, :)


    UberBoards Ni Thank you so far for the likes and shares, It seems the 5000 milestone may be a long way off so we have decided to offer another board at 2500 likes also so now we have two on offer, Please be sure to keep an eye on our page when the winner is drawn.

    You still need to guess an end-date for the title or the post should be removed (or a BG may guess for you)

    End date December 2017, Not sure why that is required if the comp does not have one listed as it does seem rather silly to guess something that is not in place.

    If a competition does not have an end date it will not sort correctly for people who choose to use that option

    From post 7 in the guide

    Put the date at the beginning of the title box, & please use the Forum standard, below.

    E: XX/XX, For Example, E: 02/04 Win a .....

    This makes things a lot easier for the BGs & Compers (like you) to find comps ending. If the comp ends within 12 months then it is fine to put the dd/mm date as explained above. If you have a rare comp that has more than a year to the end date, please stick to the posting convention above, put a space & put the year in brackets - but only if it is MORE THAN 12 months ahead.
    E: 02/04 (2018) Win....... Only if comp is more than 12 months from ending.

    If you can’t see the closing date for a comp in the T & C or on the webpage please estimate an end date. Without an end date on the thread title it will be moved into the Game Over sub forum prematurely, which would be a waste of your effort posting it. If you had to estimate the end date pop that into your post so if, later on, the website add an end date another member can highlight the new info.
