Got a few spare minutes? Help keep the forum tidy!

I am currently doing competitions that end today (31/07) any that have ended like this one https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4197269 I'll post in here.
Or am I doing it wrong doing that?

The Chat magazine one (Issue 29) must have been moved on or before the 29th (or the very early hours of the 30th) as I haven't thanked or clicked either enter or skip and I always click one of enter/skip for every comp listed when I do the ending comps.

(The Pick Me Up one has already been moved back, which is odd as none of the BG's, according to their profiles, have been online since about 10 minutes before mjm3346's post.)

I've also found these couple (here and here) that are no where near ending yet but they're also in GO, I don't understand what's going on, but I really hope this isn't happening as often as I suspect it might be, goodness knows how many comps us end daters (or anyone that happens not to enter comps as soon as they are posted) are missing as once they're gone, they could be anywhere in there seeing as there are 24021 pages and anything posted on within the last year is somewhere on the first 4621 pages of that! :eek:

There was a post in the site feedback thread about comp end dates where someone had said a load of comps had wrongly been moved to game over when the forum was done, dalkirst said they would look at them when they had time so could be that?

Ahh, that would make sense, I'd not seen that as I rarely look in that part of the forum, thanks for the info!

Sorry I can't do links as I'm on the iPad but its on the last page of the thread over there

I've just realised that the 2 threads I noticed were in GO weren't actually posted until the 28th, that was Sunday and the forum was down before that, I'm even more confused now!

It wasn't with Pick me up as that was on the main board during yesterday before it was moved to GO.

Hmmm I don't know then, was just a thought. I've not been expiring lately as I was way behind but nearly caught up now so should be able to help again soon.

Am I correct in thinking that when a certain number of people (five I think it may be)click expired on a competition then the thread goes automatically to the Game Over section? Or does it notify a BG that the comp is over?
