Was merrily entering the closing today comps when "whoosh" they've disappeared

that often happens, personally i think they shoud be moved the say after they end, so end 31/01 would be moved tomorrow and today would ahve been moving end 30/01 but people complain if it gets to tomorrow morning and end 31 are still there

its why i do end 01/02 today and 02/02 tomorrow eg. that way they can be moved and i dont miss them, and that way any with 01/02 date that actually end when the clock turns midnight tonight or that end at 6am or at noon tomorrow ive done today saves me the frustration of trying to enter and hitting a sorry this comp has ended page:rotfl:

the board guides move them to game over each day, when on the day depends on when they have time to do so. someone was her and had time now so moved them now, maybe they wont be back on until tomorrow ..and see my post above re them getting moaned at if they are still there in the morning :rotfl:

game over can be found as one of the 3 sub forums at top of the page

You can search/display comps in Game Over the same way that you do here. Just make sure that you select to display only threads starting the Last 100 Days as well, otherwise you end up with comps that are years old popping up.

Bottom of screen = Display Options - Thread Title - ascending/descending - Display threads started last 100 days

Sorry to post but I really want to enter!

I think the comp was on Facebook. And you have to guess the quotes from films

one was "You had me at hello..."

I can't even remember a specific prize.. it said lots of prizes to be won


Can anyone help?
I thought I had book marked it

Thanks in advance

all in game over if you click on competitions time there are 3 sections or sub forums at the top of the page, i won iwon, regular comps and game over. you need to click on game over there and then go to the bottom of that page to sort as mamzie descibed, sorting this main forum wont find them as theyre not on here anymore

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&f=74&page=1&pp=20&sort=lastpost&order=desc&daysprune=100

dont kn ow if it will carry the filtering over though, if you look in the sticky calle comping guide and faq there is a detailed section explaining how to sort by end date etc (was written in the days before the end date button was implemented for us) whihc might help you figure out how to do the sorting in game over as mamzie described

Hello,
First of all THANKYOU for posting such great comps - I will do the same in return once I get myself sorted! Anyway, I need your advice...

1. I use internet explorer with google toolbar and I use 'AutoFill' to complete entries (though it doesnt work everytime? For the forms it wont automatically complete is there a way I can say set up a system where, if I say, press a certain key and my full name will appear, and another which will make the first...second line of my address appear, email, phone number etc? If AutoFill doesnt work it is so annoying to have to fill in forms by typing in the info.... Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!:A
