Define a "regular" poll!

I am new to 'Regulars'

I've read through some of the posts but looking at the Regulars as it stands now I can see a bit of a problem. There is only one 'enter' button at the top of the thread. How does that help if there are multiple entry dates eg weekly?

I am new to 'Regulars' - I have only just noticed that the Aviva competition (that I bookmarked) doesn't appear on the main board any longer.
I still haven't found what has happened to a couple of weeks missing 'Cube' comps, and I feel sure a few other itv comps have gone AWOL.

On a separate issue- when you changed / implemented the date format, why didn't you have the month first?
'End date view' brings up all the 31 of any month, followed by all the 30th of any month....

If you click on the word 'Thread' where it says 'Thread / Thread Starter' above the comp posts then it's sorted the other way around, so you get 01/01, 01/02 etc (it means there's not as many month ending comps to wade through).

so, just scanned this thread and couldnt see it mentioned - but how do we define the weekly magazine comps them - like Real People, Chat, Pick Me Up, Thats Life etc?

they've got different end dates, different answers each time
how can they be 'regular' if they're diff end dates/answers/prizes,

to me a regular is a comp that has no end date, same answer/prize every week/month

thedrinkshop (as an example) post a different prize/comp every month but always has an end date same as a lot of the monthly comps so if the prize/answer/ is different each time they should be posted on main board each time

I tend to think that the reg Daily's may on occasions have different answers, but you have a regular 24 hour entry window, which is repeating daily.

Whereas I think of a weekly or monthly comp needing to either have the same prize and/or the same Q&A to class them as a regular.

I assumed possibly wrongly that the Puzzler mags were all on one thread, as very often an answer/puzzle in one mag would also identical in another mag, so when you filled the answer in it would pop up in other answer fields, iyswim.

Whereas Real People, Chat, Pick Me Up, Thats Life, etc have different comps, puzzles and answers, and just happen to be published weeklish

the puzzler mags are all on one thread they have interactive comps that sometimes are in one mag one month then in a diff mag another month, unless you buy the mags you wouldn't be able to follow all the comps through, think they do this to try to make sure people buy the mags, it sometimes gets very confusing when they mix them around as we have to check the comp ID's every time but they are all posted on one thread
