Out of interest, do you find likeability view useful? I've never really noticed whether anyone uses the likeability button! (I'm guilty of not using it myself, too many things to do already, ie. thanks button and subscribe to all the ones I've entered!)

I use the likeability button when I want to do the ITV comps, or Take a Break, as they all seem to be in there and then I can do them in one go

(only discovered this recently - before that used to do a search for ITV, but it's much easier just to click the likeability view, then you don't get game over or I won posts as well)

I do see where you are coming from bargainhuntergal re the end times may cause problems for members who enter by end date.It just seemed a shame that the last minute compers were missing out when the comp was moved early to GO.
I've tried the end date method myself in the past but just couldn't get along with it.I now just prefer to enter page by page in the main.If it's quiet I'll then just jump about the board,maybe in likeability view.I subscribe to every comp that I enter so I can see straight away any that I have missed,that is if they are of interest.

what does anyone else think?

I'm with you 100% - would be fab to have one thread for each magazine and each itv comp. If they were all just in 1 regularly updated self titled thread - it would be like a little bit of comping heaven :A

I apologise if this has been discussed before .... but, how long does it take for a competition to be moved to GO after the "expired" button has been clicked.

I think it depends how busy the BGs are, some are moved a little early, particularly at the end of the month when there are loads to move. I think we are down to 2 BGs at the moment, so they're going to be busy.

I think it's something like 5 or 10 people need to click expired for it to go to Game Over, I know not all members had (I'm not sure if it's changed now the sites been updated) the Expired button though so I think it takes a little longer as not everyone can do it

do you mean to your signature?
if you click on the 'User CP' tab in the green menu bar at the top, then there will be an option on the left hand side to edit your signature, then you can put the details in there.

to add yourself the the challenges themselves, post in the relevant sticky threads at the top of the IWIWIW board:

whats the a-z challenge and the christmas challenge

They're just for fun. The aim of the A-Z challenge is to try and see if you can win a prize for each letter of the alphabet during the year and the Christmas challenge is to try and win your christmas pressies by comping.
