Editing the Expired button in Compers Forum to help BG's out a bit

Options
Heya,

I was wondering it it would be possible to change the number of clicks the expired button needs (general consensus at the moment suggests it's 5) to something like 3 to move an expired thread to the Game Over sub-board? It would take some more of the strain off the BG's we have here (we have 4 but one hasn't logged in for over a month so hope everything is ok there)

I realise it opens up the possibility of the button being used spitefully but would I be right in thinking you can maybe have a record of who clicks it so that frequent abusers could be found.

Also, I understand that maybe that's what you were trying to do with the end date feature that didn't work when it was implemented a couple months ago.

Either way, if you could look into it and let us know if that's something that could be done or not done, would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Golly, I've got the newt pregnant...

    Also is there any way of making the expired button work like the thanks button, ie so it's clicked and we can carry straight on - at the moment, working in Safari I click expired and I have to click back 3 times or something to get back to where I was, it's a real pain to click it the way it works.

    definitely a good idea. The BGs do soooo much already! This would let us all chip in and help a tiny bit.
  • Hi

    We like the idea and have tweaked it.

    We're not going to say the number as we don’t want to encourage its misuse. For the same reason can you also not mention it on the forum if you figure it out?

    Thank you!

    Andrea :)

    Course, and many thanks for tweaking :) I hope you don't mind but I'll quote your post over in the relevant thread in the compers forum, so that those that weren't paying attention in this thread are updated. If that's a bit much, feel free to delete the post there :)http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=60001009
