    Its interesting that nobody seems to listen to the people who post most comps.

    I would suggest that implementation of this is delayed until:

    End date is editable - they do change especially when its a guess!
    There is no time lag for entering comps
    Feedback from the people who post most comps is listened to
    Best Comp wins in 25 years of comping. Holidays to Hawaii, Toronto, Thailand twice, Dubai twice, Cyprus, Spain, Lake District, Glasgow and London. A couple of £1000 wins as vouchers. 2 Dimplex Fires. Baby cot and chest of drawers. £500 of blinds. Shibumi Jacket. Various small cash prizes under £500 and shopping vouchers. Cosmetics & weedkiller!

    I absolutely hate this idea. I comp by end date and LIKE to see the end date in the title, why are you changing it!! I hate it

    Please make them change this back it's going to be a nightmare and we are going to miss loads of comps. Plus, it's really easy at the moment to sort how we want.

    I've just posted on the original 'end date' thread, but I can't actually see the End Date sort function unless I log out ?

    MINOR FAULT

    The arrows in the calendar to move forward/back a month are not showing, but they still work if you click in the right place.

    Can't we all get a petition up or do something? Come on, all, surely our voices count?

    In order to make this system work properly, not only do I have to type the end date in the title, I have type it again in the End Date field. Double the work. :(
    You don't. I just tried for about ten minutes to post a comp and then found it was because I'd included the end date in the title and end date tool rather than just the end date tool. When I removed it from the title it worked just fine. As someone who doesn't tend to comp by end date I don't actually see what all the fuss is about.

    How is this going to help us with comping? It's going to make it worse! Going to miss out on loads of competitions now :(

    I'm getting the message that the end date is incorrect and I'm trying to amend a post in a thread, not the original post?

    Hi Barnabysue

    We think we've resolved this. Could you let us know if it's still happening?

    Thanks :)
