The Wow Factor has launched!

To have a Likeability or WOW back would be great.Most comp portals have some form of filter to sort the wheat from the chaff as it were.It just makes spottingany missed comps so much easier.The graphic interface is not a big concern for me,what difference does its colour or form really make?Just a button to sort them maybe in order of thanks etc would be fine
Please bring something like it back.

The addition of the wide extra column for "WOW" can make some post titles spread over additional lines, even more so when a larger (100%+) view is used and this reduces ease of use and therefore forum accessibility (surprisingly not an area MSE appear to test/check).

That would work as well as WOW on comps as old threads do not hang around forever as they get moved to game over. Or bring back WOW with the ability to close the column if you don't want it and/or ditch the number of replies and views columns so there is no extra space used by WOW.

I would like either Wow or likeability brought back please!!!!!!!!

I used them regularly, as I don't have time to enter all competitions, so use them to make sure I don't miss really good ones.

I don't mind if it is a small button, just a way to sort the good ones first.

I wouldn't mind if it were hidden away in the picklist right down in the bottom right hand corner, where you can sort threads. If the option were there to sort in order of thanks, or likeability etc.

We don't need it to be 'in your face' to annoy other people or make the site less accessible, just a way to sort.

Please may we have the "View by end date" etc buttons at the top of the comps page back?
Just posting to add an extra voice

Hi

Several Competitions Board regulars came on the Testing board to say they didn't like WOW on there, with few saying they did like it so we removed it during testing.

We're keeping it off for the moment but we will read and discuss everyone's feedback.

We've re-added the "Title" sort on the Competitions Board, so you should be able to find competitions by their end date.

Where is the "Testing board".I'd love to know to add my comments :-)

Excellent suggestion.:T

Another suggestion to throw in!

A lot of people are asking for the WOW and Thanks button to be separated, as you don't always think "wow" when thanking.

How about... the buttons are seperated out, but, if you click "WOW" it automatically "thanks" the post as well, however, if you click "thanks", it doesn't "WOW" the post?

i really liked likeability and end date. i know there are ways round them but i seem to do a lot of trawling through things i don't want to enter now.actually i'd also love an itv thread ( i will be an itv winner one day!) having them altogether would make my life easier.
many thanks to all you hard working MSE ers working hard for us to get things right. it is much appreciated.
also agree with above that wow and thanks are not necessarily linked.
