Todays comps are in game over

Not sure how I can sort them from there.

    As a quick basic fix just do a search via: E: 21/07

    It will bring quite a few to view.

    I have also sent Glad a pm to see if she is aware of this issue.
    It may be that she had to move them early for some reason but the BG team do not usually do such as that.
    It does show why enddate comping is not suitable for all though.

    From the guide
    WARNING: If you are entering comps on the day or even the day before they end you run the risk that perhaps the comp has closed a little early & your entry won't be counted. Another thing to bear in mind is that the Board Guides volunteer hours of their time to keep these boards clear & running smoothly so sometimes comps which are ending today or perhaps tomorrow (in rare cases) may be moved to Game Over a little early - this is a task which has to fit around their real lives & also when they have some spare 'online' time.
    SUGGESTION
    : If you really want to only enter comps right when they are ending then I strongly suggest you get a couple of days ahead of yourself to avoid the above. :)

    I understand the argument about entering comps as they come up versus end date comping but it is highly unusual that ALL of today's comps are in Game Over especially as some of them are dailies.

    It may be a glitch as comps for 20/07 are still on the live board.

    eg:

    We'll just have to wait for Dalkirst or Glad to log back in & look it over.

    I think it must be because I just had a look too and saw all of yesterday's comps were still there.

    End date comping is not ideal for any of us but we don't all have the time to keep up or even get a day ahead :)

    Hi,if I had those issues I would be tempted to comp via one of the links on here:

    Quick ways to sort the board eg by end date & New Topic

    ie:

    Today's most popular

    By using that link the popular comps that are near their end date tend to float to the top,along with the high traffic comps ie the comps that have the most attractive prizes eg cash,holidays & home entertainment.

    Just my view of course as I have never been tempted to enddate comp.

    HTH.
