Some days off - complete board

tranmereforever

Thanks everyone,

Its something I have been meaning to do for a while! Every time I have got close something has come up to delay me- life eh!

I am up early this morning and have done an hour already so am working through them all!

Don't know if you've considered this but I use a mix of both comping systems. Mainly I comp by last post, but if I get behind for any reason, I 'end date for today and tomorrow' each day until I catch up.

It takes the pressure off having to catch up quickly or worrying too much about falling behind. And any end date comping is very quick to do, because I find I have already ticked or crossed most of the comps.

This is exactly what I do. I tend to get behind as the week goes on and I often only have half an hour a day for comping, so I use this to end-date, and then at the weekend I catch up with my by-date-posted.

If you're going to comp this way (by date posted), it's better to sort the board by "thread start time" rather than leaving it as the default "last post time", because otherwise the threads jump around as people bump them. Doesn't happen if you sort them!

I comp as posted and do it as above, thread start time but also with 200 posts per page I find it much easier only having 20 pages in total than having hundreds.

I've not only completed the compers board, I've completed the internet, you're all on catch up!

Ditto from me!! :j :j

Hope it's not somewhere that runs too many good comps... I could never work for ITV with all the "employees excluded" clauses... :rotfl:

Hi - what a nice post, this is usually how I comp

1st - I do the current ITV and TV comps
Then each day I take an hour to do 'end date' comps for the next 3 days
And at the weekend I do any TAB comps I like the look of

Seems to work fine for me and I think I keep up pretty well

Lots of red crosses though as I only enter for things I really want/need

Good luck everyone, happy comping

I comp this way too - plus I also use the 'sort by popular' (as shared by Weeowens here) - that way I also don't miss any biggies! :T

Just completed the board for the first time in my comping history! Phew - I just hope I can stay on top of it now!

Hello all,

Many thanks for the replies and the good luck messages,

Pleased to say job is going very well and really enjoying it!

However, a mixture of an ill 8 month old and the internet being down for a few days - always the way! - meant I never got close to finishing but am 50% complete with a better system so it was still a worthwhile effort!
