As I have little time for competitions I have been able to click on a link which takes me to all the popular ones- ITV, Heart radio etc etc. That suddenly seems to have changed. Does such a link still exist and if so what is it? I can't trawl through all of the competitions !
Help!

    It seems to be related to the introduction of this: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4401951

    It worked fine in the early hours of today but when I came to use it this evening it was not functioning as usual.

    I'll post it in Site Feeback.

    Search only works if you know what you are searching for whereas the "Popular" link on here used to show lots of the high value comps in the first few pages.

    Very useful as an extra tool to spot any missed comps.

    Just seems a pity that we may have lost it when the end date was fully searchable with the buttons on the sticky,without the new function.

    We all comp in so many ways but I just found the "Popular Link" so useful.It was on my bookmarks :-)

    Arrange the forum now by most views.. that would suggest they are popular threads? At least thats what I have been doing for a while now. Hope this helps.
    Wishing you all good luck!

    To sort by most views, you simply click on the word views, which is at the top of the column on the right (just below the search this forum button).

    I always do that when I want to find the take a break and puzzler threads, but for some reason, did not think of that in substitution for the popularity view.

    It highlights the button I used. Marg2k8 above already said where it is before I could post it.. My brains not in great shape today, thats why I had to show a picture instead of describing it - haha!! xx

    Cheers xx
