    I am wondering if someone can help me - I am probably being a bit dense :o

    I tend to enter the competitions by using the advance search and searching by end date. This works for all dates apart from the when the day is the same as the month (eg 07/07, 08/08, 09/09 etc) as it brings up everything in that month.

    I use the format "09/09" or "E: 09/09" in the search box - am I doing something wrong?

    Thanks in advance for your help :)

    UPDATE I have worked out how to do it by sorting the whole thread by end date :)

    THANK YOU TO ALL WHO TAKE TIME TO POST COMPETITIONS :beer:
  • I'm both thanking and using the enter button, I'd like to think everyone was doing both, it doesn't take long at all, it's not like when you click expired and it goes to another page and then back to the thread! Thankfully the expired button isn't needed too often!

    U can tell charis by looking at views, the views used to be approx 3 times as many as the thanks xxx So if the comp had 300 views u would approx see 100 thanks xxx

    That got me thinking, I view each thread (at least) twice, I was wondering if other people do the same? That could account for the high number of views to thanks.

    I open all the threads I want to enter, bookmark all of them in bulk and then sort the bookmarks into groups of 30 to go through and enter, so they're opened when I bookmark them and then opened when I go through to enter them. :o

    question : now we have the enter button ... do people find they are being 'thanked' less?? ( i always make a point of clicking thanks and enter still)

    I thank each one I open and read and press enter too even if i've not entered so I know i've already looked at it, a bit daft I know but it helps me so I know not to look at that particular comp again.
    2012 wins:

    Thank you to all competition posters :D
