New live feed of MSE forum competitions

I wouldn't use it. I don't comp by end date so wouldn't want this to change the way the main board is currently set up. Would be much better just to sort out the forum so that could be sorted by ended date instead in my opinion.

it makes me very nervous.

We were asked for feedback on the new end date improvement, there were some very serious concerns that arose, such as the inability to edit, etc. Yet we never heard anything again and no alterations/explanation have been given.

Will we still be able to sort our beloved forum manually into ways that we prefer.
Will we still have our beloved ticks and crosses.
We need to see the tick/cross on the live feed.
Would this affect the comp posting, would we need to feed more info.
Will we be able to edit the End Date box..

And there are bound to be many more Qs asked, xxx

looks good - as an addition to the existing set up.
I would only use it as a double check so would like the ticks/crosses visible.

I'd like to know what happens with the 'unknown' end dates.

It does look eye catching for new compers as the interesting prizes stand out this way, however I do prefer the way it is now with the green enter tick. I occasionally comp by end date whichever the mood sets so it wouldn't really be beneficial to me. Does look good though

Sorry does nothing for me, happy with the way it is now.

If it does not alter anything that you can currently do and is as a total additional / option then I have no problem.

Just like to know why MSE never came back to previous posts about the "new comp end date posting". Does anyone actualy read the comments and want to offer a reply??

I totally agree.

I would not use this format at all. I didn't like Loquax comps format and this feels quite similar, I chose not use them for that reason preferring MSE.
If it was used in addition to the current format I have no problem but not instead of.

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.


PS. I doubt that I would ever use it anyway

These I agree with, especially point 3. I use that a lot! x

I personally wouldn't use this as I prefer the main board as it is.

Being able to filter out those I had already ticked/crossed would be a useful tool though.

Like other posters, i wouldnt want it to be a replacement for what we have already as i like the current format, but it would be handy as a quick glance thing.
