    Welcome to the comping board. :)

    Do you mean sort by end date, so all those ending on a particular date are grouped together?

    If so, then click the arrow next to ''title'' (just below the third green bar down, on the competitions page). You can then go to whichever date you want and enter competitions ending on that date.

    hmm, think i've got it now thanks, but i used the 'Display Options' panel - 4th green bar down.

    anyway, here we go!

    right gonna give this a good go over the next few days. am i right in thinking the daily competition post index here is all you really need to enter loads of comps? i was trying to look through the regular competitions posts but seems all i need to do is go down that post.

    basically what i've started doing is searching for #comp or #competition on twitter and following and retweeting. seems to be the quickest way to do it.

    i've already entered for some pretty good prizes - jewelery, clothing, kitchenware..shall i post some on here?

    Please do post any but remember to do a search.

    Don't forget all the other comps here though.

    hi, usually it's around 10 - 15 posts you have to make before you can post 'live' links :)

    if you find a comp that's not been posted on here you can still post it & one of the members on here will come along & add the link for you :)
