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!

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

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 agree. I would still like to comp from the main board :j

I agree. I would still like to comp from the main board after thinking about it :j

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.

That looks awesome!
