I think it's working really really well as everything is now grouped together and you can just skip loads of pages and know you haven't missed anything!

I wonder if maybe we could have a smiley for asking people to change the end date if they post it in the wrong format? As they seem to go down better than words, which can be taken in the wrong way sometimes! I think it was Cheeky Chicken that made the really good smilies before! :T

I'd offer to make one myself but I wouldn't know where to start! :rotfl:

Edit: I wonder if there was a smiley if it could be linked to the sticky? I'm not sure if it's possible or anything, but like you could click on the smiley and it would open the sticky about end dates?

Good idea

That's brill! Don't know how you do them. :T
Might be an idea though to include an example of the format

Only 39 pages per board guide:D

You'd say, from this date, this is the new format. Can everyone go and change their own comps. Then tidy up, any keft, afterwards.

kipper would be in serious piles of comps:rotfl:

But the format would be tooooooo hard for some to grasp.

we did try the above format but people found it very hard to read.

and make that more pages per board guide as im not going through and doing them again EVER :rotfl:

i would suggest maybe not say title, but end date format as peeps may think we're talking about they way they've worded the prize etc

what jacquie said i love the smilie but we need it to say about the end date and an example like E: xx/xx

I really hope people stick to it, seems to have really made a difference :T

I made it so that if you clicked it took you to the end date sticky. Will have another go though - there's a limit to what you can fit on a smiley!

I've been formatting the pages to group comps together for a few weeks now, even when there was 2 or 3 groups of comps due to formatting it was still relatively easy to use. Having them all the same format makes it even better, and I don't think its 'hard' to find what you are looking for either....

I personally don't think we need comp ending lists if everyone sticks to the posting format, and after all the fuss they have caused I for one will be glad to see the back of them, although saying that I think that the BGs are in a hard placed, damned if they do, damned if they don't.

i need some honest feedback of how you think its working.

i must be really dumb because i still can't do it, if anyone has time to explain it again i'd be really grateful.

i spoke to velvetglove the other day and did it alright then but now it keeps coming up no matches. i can't seem to get the sorter to sort.

velvetglove, if your looking at this
