  • 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?

    Ooh ooh, what she said! :D

    It looks really helpful. I'd mainly use it for catching comps I'd missed so like others said it'd be great to either have the crosses/ticks on it or show only the ones not previously marked with either :)

    May you all have lots of luck, Emma xx

    I think it's a wonderful idea in practice, however not really needed. The forum is great as it is and the tick/crosses are fantastic. If the end date view button was at the bottom of the page it would be even better ;)
  • as long as the main forum stays the same for those of us that dont comp by end date, it looks good

  • I would honestly prefer the sorting on the main board to be more easily controlled eg. By end date and to be able to search by those you have no ticked/crossed.
    In principle, it's good but I'm not sure I would use it as much as the main board.

    It would help, but what would be really useful if you could just input a specific end date and a list came up of all comps with that end date.

    But whatever, you need the ticks and crosses still.

    This looks like the base of a great system. Does it have the potential to grow?

    For me, the ability to sort by ticked/crossed/neither is key. But I'm brand new, so I might change my mind after a few more weeks.;)

    What I think I'd really like is a filterable categorisation scheme
    • by prize type (serious money, high tech, SunSeaSand,worthwhile food, kidstuff, frivolous and fun etc),
    • by effort to enter ( One Click, Fill a form, Wade through, Tear my Hair),
    • by odds of winning (extrapolated from number of thanks per week running?)
    • by Have I entered/skipped?
    • by end date
    (Sorry to run wild. But I used to write database applications).

    I like the main board, and wouldn't use it.
