    Loving the End Date in title, I take it that's auto-populated? Obviously a few other issues still, but good progress - thank-you!
  • Thank you for putting the end date back in the title - it's much easier to read now :T

    I don't like the new black font they're using, but that may just be me objecting to change. Will see if it looks better once I've gotten used to it a bit!

    I'm not sure what you are thanking MSE for?

    They have not put the end date in the title they have simply taken the bit that was underneath the title and moved it in front of the title which functionally make no difference at all. The title still does not contain the date.
    Well, you know, my ancestry isn't all hamster.

    Was that in reply to me?

    The only problem I had with the new system was that I could not read the end date properly. Now it's in the title (ok, not the actual title but it's on the same line) I can read it a lot better. It's still not perfect (it could be a slightly bigger font size) but it's better than the original change.

    same here, and it looks a small font, really hard to read the titles of the comp posts

    I have just done an end date search of the comps posted in the last day that expire today and they are all over the place.

    They are not really showing up in any order at all. I have to hop from one end of the board to another. The first couple of pages are showing correctly then they are dotted all over the place.

    The search brings up 22 pages and I find E: 01/02 on:

    Page 2
    Page 3
    Page 9 - 22 (1 or 2 ending E: 01/02 no particular order all jumbled up) :think: :think: :think:

    No OneYorkshireLass it was in reply to a string of posts which all seemed to believe that the end date had been incorporated into the title. It may be more readable but doesn't help with sorting, searching, bookmarking or anything else people have been used to doing with the titles

    Can we now use the sort thread into 'Thread Title, Ascending' and have the same result or is that option a total dead-end?
