Searching For end dates such as 10/10

Hi, I just wondered whether anyone could help me search for comps by end date when the numbers are the same such as 10/10, 11/11 etc, as I never seem to be able to find them. It's probably me being a bit dim, but I would be grateful if anyone could shed any light on this for me. Thank you so much.

You can use weeowens handy click button here to sort the forum by end date.
If you scroll to the bottom of the first page, you'll see it has comps ending 31/12, so you skip through the forum until you find comps for the date you're looking for. If I'm looking for, for example, the comps ending tomorrow (9th), I click to see Page 101 and then Page 201. Doing that now brings up comps ending 11th of each month, so I know the 9th isn't too far away, so this time I only jump forward to Page 211 and then find the comps I'm looking for (09/10) on Page 217. It shouldn't work any differently for 10/10, 11/11 etc.
Without wanting to be patronising, it sounds a lot more complicated than it is!Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none.

It can't be done using "Search"
Best way is to go to Quick ways to sort the board eg by end date & New Topic thread which is a sticky at the top of the Compers Chat Corner. Click on "End Date" in the first post to sort the forum. You then have to jump through the forum until you get to the relevant date.
10/10 comps currently start on page 205, 11/11 on page 196
using this button sorts the forum by title so 10/10 is immediately after 10/11 and would be followed by 10/09, 10/08 ...down to.... 10/01 then 09/12, 09/11, 09/10, 09/09 etc. (but many dates do not have any live comps ending)0 -
Thank you for your help ness13 and One-Eye. It was really kind of you both to explain all that. Lots and lots of luck to you both0

can anyone help?
I can't get the end date buttons to work? When I click them it just shows a jpeg image that isn't clickable? It does nothing when I drag it to bookmarks either, do I have to alter any settings on the computer?£2021 in 2021... £253.86/£20210 -

Just go to the bottom of the competitions thread and there's a drop down box labelled "Sorted By" choose "Thread Title" then press show threads and do as above0
