comping_cat

Well MSE have sorted one big gripe out then.........

I don't really see how that's changed anything if people don't use the end-date function

It is if, like me, you use the search function as the end date does not appear on the results or on the competition link and I use it a lot (e.g. for the ITV comps that you kindly post and for other sites like Empire, Shortlist or for prizes I am interested in winning like an iPad)

You have taken my quote out of context - i said if you have your own list of dailies like me, it is not difficult or time consuming - i also said later that not having the date there would cause problems.

However, MSE have now sorted the problem as on my screen, the end dates are now in the title :T

Lets hope they have also got rid of the unknown feature, or there are still problems!

Seems that MSE have started to move towards the majority view.Just refreshed & the enddates are appearing:



If the function is editable I'm feeling more disposed to its use,although it does slow one down when posting until it becomes more automatic.
It just seems that if the dialogue had been more two way when this was first mooted we would all have embraced it & it would not have been forced upon us.

Visually that's much improved, thanks!

Still a lot of other things need sorting, it still doesn't show up in search or when you bookmark, but at least we can actually see some changes now.

Not that simple Cat, it's not showing in the search still it makes no difference what-so-ever! We need it typed in the title
