Competitions Discussion Thread Part 12

Glad

Ok I'm happy that people want any major change to wait until after xmas and it might take me that long to work through the regs board old threads :rotfl: and then chat about it with the other BGs and Andrea

at the moment though the only change being discussed is putting the mags threads in regs

other than that it's more a discussion of how to keep the boards running within the current rules, and it might be worth a trial run using the regs board as it should be used before people can make a decision on wether they want it or not

Just an idea here. As Glad is going to have her work cut out going through all the old comps on the regulars board, would it help, if some of us were to try them out and then bump the old threads to say "I have checked this one out and it is still current"? I know that normally unwanted bumping of posts is discouraged, but as a once off exercise, perhaps it would help Glad out. What do others think?

I'm working from the end of the board backwards and opening any threads that are still live

if they're dead I'm moving them to GO

if I'm not sure I'm leaving them in Regs but locked so someone else can check them

if the prize has changed I'm posting the new details which is bumping them up

if anyone wants to help they could just choose a page where all the thread are still locked and work through as many as they want to :A

you won't be able to bump them though as they're all locked so the only way around that is to pm me with 2 lists of links
a live list and a dead list
it would be easy then for me to open the live ones in one go and move the dead ones to GO

thanks for the offer :T

but which part of that post in particular were you concerned about?

none in particular, just trying to get my head round how the regs work Glad tbh way it looks to me at the moment, if peeps don't bump the comp every week/month/day or whenever then they just drop to the bottom of the board so some of them get posted on main board & redirected to regs i'm sorry, but have been trying to figure how it works & am getting more mixed up

don't worry korky I'm confused too

if a thread isn't posted on it will drop down whichever board it's on but if people get used to using the both boards the threads will get posted on wherever they are
