Thanks Firefly. Some of us have been discussing whether having a discussion board would be helpful. Would really appreciate if this could be considered at some point. Best wishes, Blu

Hi Folks,

We've been having a chat about this this morning and have an idea. Firstly, here's some information for context and rationale:

For every new element we introduce, it places additional load on our database. It's by no means a big problem, but naturally to keep forum speed and efficiency we try and be as clever with the amount of times we need to do this as possible.

For the purposes of what we're discussing here - to expand enter to three options, "enter", "skip" and "not interested" gives us three times the current hit.

This is our proposed solution : Rather than giving the buttons names, why dont we just give you a tick and a cross (or appropriate opposing colours or symbols) which you can then use as you see fit.

You can call them "yes / no" "enter / skip" "enter / dont care" or whatever works for you personally.

This, hopefully, gives you a usable system that makes comping much easier, whilst helping us keep the strain on our server and database as low as possible.

Would this seem a fair compromise to all?

Fab idea! Would be great

I'd love this button. I think I'd prefer an X so I could mark the comps I'm not interested in so I know not to go back into them another time. I'm really happy with how the entered button has worked out and have been thinking there should be an ignore comp button for the ones we don't want to enter. I enter comps in many different ways (eg date end, date start, keywords) so I often come across the same comp but don't realise until I've click into it and this would save me so much time. Sorry for the essay :rotfl:

I love the idea of a skip button, I don't have a preference about the symbol. I think it would be fantastic to be able to press the skip button without having to go into the thread itself.

Your proposed idea is fantastic and would make ignoring all the comps that I open and then don't want to enter for whatever reason a lot easier to ignore without re-opening if it has been bumped or updated!

I'd quite like a skip button but I'd love it even more if the thanks, enter and skip button could be together and not opposite ends of the line

I also agree with the Skip button. I hate going over comps again and again just to find that there was a reason i hadnt entered it in the first place!

I would love a skip button, it would save me so much time! I don't mind what form the button takes.

Hi Folks,

We're hoping to have this completed fairly soon. Not sure if we will get it out before the weekend, but hopefully next week for certain (barring any unforeseen problems).
