Does anyone know why they have been sent to game over before they are over?
Is it deliberate?

Why do the competitions keep getting moved to game over on the actual day that they are ending? I tend to be doing them on the actual end date right now and cannot get ahead of myself as I have to spend hours trawling through game over (which doesn't sort them into strict date order so all the years are mixed together). 95% of these competitions don't actually end until 2359h, so it seems a bit strange to move them when they are still live? I am sure that there is a really good reason that I cannot think of - can anyone enlighten me?

There is a thread here of people wanting the same as you.

i have been entering competitions for my sister in her name and address (towards her wedding fund!) and also for me in my name and address......obviously this would mean that both are entered in the same IP address. do you think that matters?? they are in different addresses???!

Yes, board guides have lives as well, so fit moving threads into when they have time.
That's not an excuse for doing it ahead of time
You could either limit your search in GO to the last six months, which would do away with previous years or just forget a couple of days worth, to get ahead.

And more people would be annoyed if comps ending today hung around clogging up the board. Really? Has there been a poll?

Yes, that was a rant

Moving comps into game over early means that some members miss the opportunity to win prizes - do you really think that is prefererable to the " annoyance" of competitions ending today still being on the main board?

I wouldn't think it would matter if the T & Cs say One entry per person, if it's one per household there could be a problem and you may be disqualifying yourself.

Be careful of the ones that say "no third party entries" too.

Apologies if this is in the wrong place.

I have been using Roboform for the past year. When I log in to web sites roboform has a pop up that offers to svae these details. As i am still quite wary of what is saved and what is not, I wondered if the regular compers allowed Robofrom to save this information therefor not needing to go through the signing in to each website everytime?

Am I just being over cautious?
