Quick ways to sort the board eg by end date & New Topic

Marg2k8

That seems to be something to do with the recent changes. The best suggestion I have seen so far seems to be to sort by highest number of views. (Sort of top right corner of the posts).

I've noticed the 6th Jan ones are still all there and not gone to game over, anyone know why? x

and the 18th Jan x

Is there a way to sort them by end date know or do you have to search for every day?

Reverse Popularity - Finds popular comps that haven't been bumped in months but also comps that are well beyond their closing date but haven't been expired

Really interesting thread, which has answered for me whether you can permanently have this part of the forum set to automatically display the listing by Thread Start Time instead of Last Post Time.

Listing by Thread Start Time means that it doesn't matter when somebody bumps a thread because it stays in the same place. Obviously the downside is that you might not notice if somebody tries to notify you of an oversight or error, but they can always PM you! :cool:

Then I wouldn't have to go down to the bottom of the first page every time I come here to change it from Last Post Time to Thread Start Time > Descending > Last Week, then click on Show Threads. I had a look through the User CP options and couldn't find a way, but I have just changed my FF bookmark to http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&f=72&page=1&pp=40&sort=dateline&order=desc instead of http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?f=72. Simples. Thanks guys! :rotfl:

One thing that I noticed was that, even though my User CP has my options set to automatically always show 40 threads per page, I still had to edit the link from saying pp=20 to pp=40 manually, whereas I would have expected it to do that for me automatically.

Sorry if I have dragged your thread off-topic

Anyway, when I click on the "button" for End Date View it starts at 31st December, maybe that's intentional?

The popularity ones are quite interesting, but presumably the more popular they are the lower your chances are of winning them?
