New live feed of MSE forum competitions

MSE_Jenny

Hi,

One of our developers has been working on a live feed of competitions from the forum to help clearly show which comps are ending soonest.

We just wondered if something like this would be helpful to you guys? Are there any extra features you'd like to see, as we might be able to add them. All thoughts very welcome!

Thanks
MSE Jenny

this looks quite helpful

Livewire

This would be fab!!!

That does look good but I'm assuming that as it doesn't show all the comps it's just the ones where people have used the end date feature?

Looks like it would be helpful, yes. Thanks

Feedback was asked for about the new date feature, but we never heard anything from the feedback we gave.

[STRIKE]Is anything happening with that?[/STRIKE]

I guess the above post shows a reason for keeping the new date feature

It good except I would miss having the ticks and X's there.

I second this.

Maybe you could add them in somehow so we would be able to see at a glance which comps we may have missed that are ending soon.

Hi. This looks like a very good idea to me and would be pleased to use it. Thanks to you all on the board for your commitment.

It looks interesting.

I also would need the tick's & crosses

It looks great, thanks! :T

Not sure if it would be possible at all, but could you have it so it only displays ones you've not ticked or crossed previously?

One-Eye

1) If sort by ending date worked properly this wouldn't be needed at all.

2) It lacks ticks/crosses and/or selection of unticked comps only.

3) It lacks the ability to hover your mouse on the post and see details about the comp.

4) It appears to lack the "bold text" feature of forum view.

5) Bear in mind that on the 30th January there may be almost 1000 comps for "today" and "tomorrow" alone.

6) If it is a "live feed" please explain how it would display a competition for "tomorrow" newly posted whilst I am actually looking at "tomorrows comps".

PS. I doubt that I would ever use it anyway
