  • I did have a bit of a brainwave whilst getting ready, thought I'd tentatively jot it down before I go out!

    Wouldn't it be great if we could have a proper tag system on the board? So the OP could add tags to their posts and others could add tags to them? (Maybe make it so only the OP and BG's could remove tags though?)

    People could tag things with Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Advent, Facebook, Twitter, etc... (It could go on forever in reality!)

    Then we wouldn't need a regulars board (which I know many don't like! ;)) as we could just search for the tags?

    Please don't get mad at me for making more suggestions :rotfl: it was just something that came to mind and thought I'd mention it before I forgot! :p

    I've just checked some of the posts where I posted the end date on the thread and not all of them have yet been updated so I'm going to use that technical word - it will be a "faff" to go through and delete until all the posts are updated.

    You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time
  • Where has the ending date sorting facility gone? I can't find it atm.

    OFFS, Thank goodness I kept this link in my favourites!
    For those struggling now they've taken away the sort by end date function, try this. It's comps ending tomorrow in end date order

    So what you do is just to change the date to ie: 03/02 ?

    that's what I search every day for comp I might have miss when get back too tired. today I search for tomorrow's ending but if you are not going to write at the beginning any more how are we going to find.
    I can't follow. Hopefully everything will be alright on the night. IT ALWAYS IS!

    I've now edited all thread where someone had kindly posted an end date and also others where I've managed to find an end date myself, I don't do many comps though so if any of you lovely people have time to check out the remaining 30 or so I'll edit them later :)
