I've checked with some comps I've posted since the upgrade and it's finding them, unlike mse.

Hope that helps a bit

thanks will give it a go tomorrow - was starting to worry about posting the usual comps that are updated on mondays incase they were already posted! The amount of dupes is getting silly!

I don't suppose anyone has listened to Eagle Radio and knows who the Winning Weekend artist is (to win the £1000)?
The reception where I live is pretty poor so can only listen online and I've been out and about all weekend and haven't been able to listen

Thanks

If it is the song that is played @ 3pm then the artist is Take That. xx

I know, just got back from an overnight away and have returned to far more pages of comps to catch up on than anticipated :eek:.
Am just considering the chaos that could well descend tomorrow with everyone searching, not finding, so posting dupes of all the new weekly AND monthly comps too :eek:!
Yikes!

Sorry all for this question BUT is it possible to do a search by closing date in the GAME OVER forum? I haven't entered all comps closing today and they've been moved over. Some won't close until midnight. Can I search for them so they're all listed together? Thanks.

Many thanks reniannen... :beer:
I'll give that a go as I've been worried about posting comps since I posted a dup this morning...

I hope the MSE team sort this problem out soon, as it must be a complete nightmare for the BGs...

They do a great job when the search is working, with it not working must be causing so much extra work for them...

yeah you can do it exactly the same way as you would on the main forum, except in the 'From the' drop down box select at least 'last year', so you only get this years 31/01 comps

I'll try that. Many thanks

I can't believe the amount of dupes I've posted over the last couple of days, and I even did extra searches because I knew there was a problem.

You're not the only one Laks! I also posted a Dupe and searched it over again before posting. Seems there's been a problem with it. (Poor Dalkirst!)
