New Sort by End Date function

Zanzib

This is really useful- I've found a few I've missed ending today and tomorrow.

Thanks.

Yesterday when i did the comps ending 22/01 there 4 or 5 pages, but using the new method there is only about 2 pages of comps ending 22/01. The reason is about half of the 22/01 posts have 'unknown' in the end date. Until posters stop using unknown in the end date this feature is not really going to work effectively & some of us would miss out on alot of comps.

Although i have to say this would be a great feature if unknown end dates were no longer allowed.

The reason I use "unknown" is because the box date cannot be altered if you've made a mistake or the competition date gets extended. Also, at the moment any comps that do not begin E: 00/00 are moved to Game over and it's irritating having to write the date twice, differently.

I used to use the link below to sort the competitions by popularity and a few other things, it no longer sorts by popularity the way it used to with the new update. Any ideas how I can get this back?

There is no WOW factor button or WOW factor sort option shown on this board. WOW factor is not supported for this board at this time.

Whilst I find the new end date feature useful, I used to search on "today's most popular". I can no longer do this. Any idea how I can get this link to work again?

Absolutely! Although this date now being sortable COULD be a great advantage, the fact that it is not editable means that it is no more use than it was.
If the date could be edited to allow for errors and changes AND the "Not Known" capability removed (it is essential that every main board thread has an end date even if it is guessed & "guessedenddate" included in the post), then perhaps the End Date in the thread title would no longer be needed.

I'm not normally an END-DATE comper but with this new search facility I could easily become one :rotfl:

The only question I have is 'where do the comps that end in say E: 23/01 but with unknown in the line below go' :eek:
