    Can we at least have the end date larger, please. It's difficult to see at the moment.

    I much preferred the old E: dd/mm. This was much easier to work by.

    I don't like the new method at all.

    Format:

    Ends 07/03........

    Looks good to me if MSE refuses to put things back the way they were and would work until they start blocking it :o

    So firstly this is more of a pain for those who put so much effort into finding, posting the comps and also looking for answers.

    Adding the End date box fine but taking away the ability to also have this in the title is pathetic. I'm all for change if it improves things but this doesn't and in actual fact makes things worse.

    What about comps that end at a specific time? It was so easy to skip over these if i'd come on the forum too late to enter but now I can't. Fridays in particular have a lot ending by around 5pm and it will be a nightmare now.

    Did you not think to consult with the more regular posters?

    I think you should have really asked in a poll before making such a radical change.

    The board is in utter chaos currently and is a complete mess :(
    Wishing you all good luck!

    dunno if anyone asked that yet, but when i post a comp i search the E: date to avoid dupes how is that working now? because there will be tons of threads that are just called "Win an iPad mini"
