    I do try to get one day ahead but find it hard to keep up

    Having false end dates would not help as you still need to find the same amount of time to enter them but keeping the correct end date gives people a chance to enter that would be lost if an earlier false one was used.

    I try and do all the time ones the day before and I'm not trying to be 'mean' I was just as you say posting my opinion that people get a monopoly of posting comps and dont put an end time on , surely I'm allowed ?
    Thanks and good luck to all :T :beer:

    Of course you are allowed but the simple solution is not to enter on the last day unless it is an emergency.
    Instead of any changes being required just treat the competitions as closing on the day before the given date.

    (For the itv ones I would suggest using the forum search to pick up and enter them as they are posted).

    That way the enddaters do not miss it.

    And that's the reason I love you so much! :D :A

    I enter the day before it ends but am sometimes caught out with ones ending at midnight :(

    Of course, I could do them a few days before they end, but my RL stuff comes first ;)
    Thanks to all posters :A

    if you do an advanced search and remove the tick for searching on child forums then it will only show posts in the main competitions time board - i.e. it will not show those in GO, IWIWIW and so on.

    Personally I find end-date comping to be an illogical way to go about things in general, although that's getting off topic :D
