Competitions Discussion Thread Part 7

just a quick question about this search/arrange threads in post order, does it take any notice of the question marks after the date if the date is uncertain?

I *Think* it does matter.

Please correct me if im wrong

i THINK it does, but not so much if a space is left before the question mark

I'm assuming that when you sort threads by 'thread title' the threads are ordered alphanumerically. If this is the case it would then just order the comps with a question mark (placed after the date) before or after the others with the same date (depending on whether you arrange in ascending or descending order).
I'm also guessing it would be preferable to have a space between the date and the question mark.

The search term should be E: 02/09 - or use google searching for "E: 02/09" site:moneysavingexpert.com

Personally I prefer to list the threads in title order (bottom left of the screen) - particularly now Divadee has sorted out all the thread titles they will all be in one bunch :T

WOW that is cool the google search is very good! I will try the money forum way another time when I have more time.

Thanks everyone!

I posted this earlier which may help:

The way to find comps by ending date on here is:

Scroll to the bottom of the main competition forum. There are some drop down boxes (under the heading display options).

Choose:

sorted by - "thread title"
sort order - descending or ascending (what ever is your personal preference)

The threads on the forum are then organised by the ending date stated in the thread title. Navigate your way through the pages until you find the ending date you want. Now that divadee has gone to great lengths to ensure they are all titled correctly, the threads are actually very well organised into groups.

Hope this helps you out a little
