Competitions Discussion Thread Part 13

Same as compingcat and sassy, not seen anything about this

Looking at the above posts though, I get the gist and would like to see all/as many posts as possible on the main comping board, where all comps. are visible in one place. Personally, I think this would save time and having to flick from one thread to another

I have no idea what this is about but if something is/has been going on, i think that maybe now is the time to let us know about it, any changes etc.

(If anyone can point me in the direction of what has been happening, i would be grateful)

this is where the great debate about the Regulars board first began

I must warn you that there are a vast amount of post's to go through and the debate became quite heated at times and is still ongoing

Thanks for doing this Amilucky

I have no idea what this is about till someone also bought this to my attention, but if something is/has been going on, i think that maybe now is the time to let us know about it, any changes etc.

If anyone can point me in the direction of what has been happening, i would be grateful, I dont really understand as dont often venture into regular boards as dont have the time often

Agree on a poll

Aphorism

The regulars board needs to change so that it complements the main board

this could be done by using the same end date format that is used on the main board E: the comps could still be tagged after the end date example E: 02/12 (Daily) (Monthly) (Weekly) multiple entry comps could have the extra tag (Daily ME) (Monthly ME) (Weekly ME) comps without end dates could have there own stickies something like (Daily Ongoing) (Weekly Ongoing) (Monthly Ongoing) etc

This makes sense, perhaps adding in the advent title as well.

I have an idea. It should be possible to pre-define this information when writing up the first post for a competition. Perhaps include interactive buttons on the toolbar that define the type of comp then it would be automatically assigned to the correct location when submitted.

The same for the EXPIRY button, some coding behind that would move the finished comp to the relevant section. Given that the comps already carry an end date this could also be automated.

The only problem with this idea is that sometimes the type of comp is not clear at the time of posting, but I am sure something could be worked out to circumvent this.

I have just had an email supposedly from Virgin re my bill, saying that payment had failed. Its is a scam. It looks genuine, and although I am pretty savvy with this sort of thing, I nearly clicked it luckily I didn't and rang them instead.
Do not click the link that is in it.

I know this is in the wrong place, but thought it would be better in here even for a short while

titchylin
