    It would cut down on my typing:

    Please click edit, then click go advanced, & add (Rafflecopter)/FB/TW in the title

    So would be a thumbs up from me

    But don't think the MSE Forum Team would do it

    What I'd personally love to see, is a tickbox option which HAS to be completed (before the comp can be posted) when adding a new comp to the board which indicates whether a comp is web, email, post, TW, FB or RC (or all of the above!). Then a filter option could be added to the main comps board to include (or exclude) those options. That would then mean that peeps who like to enter all types of comps can ignore the filter and still see everything in one place, but others who don't like to do certain types of comps (ie, FB, TW or RC), can filter the thread to exclude them. The same could be applied to the Regular comps board.

    However, I am aware that this is probably quite challenging technically, so appreciate that I probably want too much. lol

    But just curious, would this option suit most (if not all) compers on the board?

    The only thing that I can see would be a problem with this is how you define what to tick. For example, if you could enter by twitter, but did not have to have twitter to enter, would the box need to be ticked or not? I enter a lot of the rafflecopter comps, but I no longer have facebook. So although someone might tick the facebook box if such a system was implemented, I could still enter it without.

    Rafflecopters would have RC to tick

    And you could tick multiple options, when applicable.

    I admit I'm a little lazy and haven't read all the intermediate posts. But I use the dailies thread and am definitely frustrated by the rafflecopters listed there. I think that on the dailies thread there should be a distinction between daily entries available for one prize (mostly rafflecopters), and a "new prize every day". There is a big difference - my ideal would be 2 threads, one for each of the 2 types.

    However, I am also realistic. I know a lot of people find the existing setup complicated enough and there are a lot of things that aren't the way I'd like them - but it (more or less) works :D
