On the ones where there's a '?' after the date does anyone know if they're moved over like the rest or do they stay on the main board because there's confusion over the end date?

I'm not sure OYL, I'll get Glad or Dalkirst to provide their knowledge

I've tried searching for all thread titles containing a '?', but you can't do this ... apparently.

bomb_the_cherry

Just gone through and done a bunch. Took me a moment to find the button... having a blonde day!

Only way I think is to sort the whole board by thread title with this template http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&f=72&page=1&pp=200&sort=title&order=asc&daysprune=-1 (gives you 200 posts per page) and then Ctrl+F for '?' Unless someone knows an easier way...

Hi
I move them over according to the date in the title even if it has a ? after it, someone usually lets me know if it needs to be brought back and edited

thanks for everyone's help, :T I've moved everything that's left to GO now, it's just been a hectic few weeks

Don't be silly, you are entitled to a life outside of this board (although I imagine if you could be chained to the board, people would )

Now that the expired button has been reduced, it should save you and the others a massive amount of time/effort to do, I dunno, real life things

Hey all

After posting a request in Site Feedback to get the number of clicks the Expired button needs to move a thread to Game Over reduced, and having the request accepted, now would be a perfect time for us to help ourselves.

There are threads with an end date of E: 15/03 onwards which are still 'live' on the main board. This is not a slight against the BG's, after all they do their job voluntarily and we all really much appreciate the hours they put in, but if you have a spare quarter hour or something, search some comps out and just hit the Expired button, or press it if you just come across a rogue dead comp. If enough of us do it, we shall get the board tidy again and reduce the workload the BG's have, for which I'm sure they'll be grateful

Great idea renegadia :j Could we also let the Daily/Weekly/etc sticky holders know of any threads that have expired/changed to clear some of them down

On the mag dailies I sometimes put a ? if there's not a specific end date, but perhaps I should put a day later to be on the safer side

I'm scared of going in there I'll let you be in charge of that, Miss Pasty

Actually, after reading, Miss Cornish sounds a bit better

I managed to go through about 20 pages on the main board- started at 71 and worked down.

Will have a go now, great idea.
