    I agree.the new forum pages makes it to easy to expire threads on touch screen devices.without knowing that you have done anything wrong.

    I surely hope you're right !

    If that were the case than more threads would randomly be going to game over BUT it seems this one and the puzzler thread are very regularly being sent to game over as if they are being deliberately targeted - it has to be a group of cowardly and pathetic nobodys who hide behind their laptops!

    I was thinking the same Bluebella. People thinking they can increase their chances by clicking expired (they really don't credit us with much sense do they?). If this was a sticky thread would it not stay on the main boards?
    2017 wins = £1350
    2016 wins = £125 (18 months off comps)
    2015 wins = £6,460
    2014 wins = £1,350

    Making it a sticky is a great idea! :o

    Apparently it would still move to GO it would just become a sticky there.

    Do you think it is being expired because it doesn't have an end date? Maybe the OP could add an end date (i would suggest E: 31/12) and hopefully this might stop it?

    Think the fact it keeps getting put in Game Over makes it necessary, not chat.

    That may be the case but to have the last 17 (including my two) posts to be discussing the point is not fair to those that subscribe to the thread for comp updates. In my opinion, CCC is the best place to have this 'necessary' conversation, not here.

    Apologies to those subscribers.

    Can't you all just subscribe or bookmark the thread and stop chatting? If other people miss out cos its in GO then tough luck. We've been talking about this for ages and nothing changes so just let it go and stop feeding the trolls - if there are any...
    Thank you to everyone who posts on the competitions boards. You all rock!
