I've tried searching for all thread titles containing a '?', but you can't do this ... apparently.0

Just gone through and done a bunch. Took me a moment to find the button... having a blonde day!:j0

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

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

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 thingsGolly, I've got the newt pregnant...

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 downOneYorkshireLass wrote: »I hit expired on a lot of twitter comps last night.

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 sideHi
