How to resurrect a post from Game Over?
Hi - I've noticed that there's a post called "Win an overnight spa experience at Titanic Spa" which is in the Game Over section as the expiry date was given as 25/01 when actually it doesn't expire until 25/02 (easy mistake to make as there's conflicting info on the comp page).
