I can make a new one (forum), the only thing is it would take around a week & I'm not willing to spend that much time on something that I could potentially be running on my own & even maybe using on my own :rotfl:

Maybe you ought to think about setting up a new site for us all based on the old way of doing things and we'd all pay to join then in a few years you could sell out for millions, too :rotfl:

I can do a free one to start things up, then see how it would go from there, before spending anything. But I doubt, in truth, that many would follow over x

What do the BGs think of this?

I dont like that you can no longer sort by end date of comps posted in the last day/week etc. I use this a lot, especially on Fridays

Maybe do a poll? If the serious posters were to leave then i would think a lot would follow, Laks has said she would consider leaving.

Or just let the dust settle for a few days and see if MSE are actually going to listen to the majority and change it back? Be a shame for everyone here to be unhappy

It won't let me change the size of the text (in red).. I have done nothing to the end date :mad:

You entered an end date in the past. Please enter an end date for today or in the future

Just to add I don't like this at all. The title with the end date was very clear which isn't the case now.

Amilucky?

Maybe we should all defect to a new competition forum?

I am seriously considering doing so

I have found this one here
http://www.futurewinner.co.uk/forumv2/ and as it is run by a comper it is very well organized (unlike mse)

another comping forum here
http://www.stranraeranddistrict.co.uk/phpbb3/index.php

if anyone knows of any other comp forums please could you post the links :beer:

Best of Luck

Hi!

Just to let you know we are reading the thread and listening, we managed to resolve some of the issues you pointed out yesterday and we're looking at the rest today but some changes take longer than others so please bear with us, they may not be quick fixes and you'd probably want us to spend our time getting on with them.

I promise we really don't do things to deliberately annoy our forum users and it's a shame some of you feel we do, or don't consult you after we asked on the Comps discussion board. We make changes if forum users have asked for them or said they're a good idea when we've asked.

We've gone through the thread and will look into whether some of your suggestions can be done. If we can do them quickly you may see changes happening today .

Maybe we need to have a sticky thread for last minute comps, like those ending today or in the next hour or two, so we can have a chance of finding them!
