thanks for the replies. yes that's the thread i'm looking at,but i had a look at last years and there seemed to be a lot more. i do use chrome, so maybe that will be a better idea than just a folder.

You will find that over the next few days, that thread will explode and multiply madly. All that is on it up to now is ones that have already been announced: over the course of today and the coming days, more and more and more will be found and added to it.
It usually settles down by about the 6th and you will have a better idea of what you actually want to enter.

Am i right in saying that anything with ADVENT in will be staying in the main board and eventhough it is copied into the " advent thread" ,, it will continually get bumped 24/7 if people comment on it?

Not saying this is wrong im just making sure i know and dont think there's bloody loads of new advents added every day to main boards lol

Yes that's correct, Order the board after putting advents into relevant folders, I always do it from thread start time. That way I don't see the bumping and only see the newly posted at top of the board.

Haha, that's it, kiss goodbye to christmas shopping and preparations.

Anything that's bookmarked already will have to be dragged, but when you bookmark a new page from now on a popup should appear so you can choose the folder directly

Thanks so much starrybee, I am now set up and sorted.. well 5 out of the 8 pages of advents have been loaded. im working from the back of the advent listing page, think it's a lot easier to keep tabs on as they appear.

No popup appearing for the new bookmarks so will need a fiddle when I get a spare moment but at least I know how to drag them into folders now.

And I can't tell you how excited I am to have discovered the "open all tabs" facility... I am such a saddo, whizzed through my daily's this morning :jwaiting until after 10 to start the advents (following advise in the blog Bluebella linked us to). Im really excited and hope to have them done in half an hour flat now :rotfl:

Right, I've got 50 odd bookmarked, just run through the first day's and it's taken me 20 minutes. None of the FB ones are live yet, and at least a dozen of the non FB ones haven't opened either. Hoping I can filter out a few as time goes by. I'm going to miss several days as I'm away and I'm already wondering whether I should take my laptop with me so I don't miss them!

I don't single out the advents for special attention any more, ever since I almost made myself ill one year trying to do them all and won sweet FA.

I think the best approach is to do the most popular in the last day ordering, the best advents will rise to the top and you will never reach the others.

That way you won't be staying up deep into the night desperately trying to win a themed glove puppet.
