    Switched from end dating to date posted earlier this year and so glad I did. Once you accept you will miss a chunk as you switch methods, it is so much easier to stay on top and if you miss a couple of days only a few will have been posted and expired in that time. Much less stress. Would really recommend it to anybody.

    I enter via as posted but also switch to this view every so often: Today's most popular

    Catches the soon closing bigger comps usually.

    It is not perfect though.

    I would normally try and do all of the competitions im interested in for the following week at the weekend, 'cause I often don't get too much time during the week.

    Seems to be a good way of doing it 'cause you can catch up on anything new that's been added for the "end dates" that week and doesn't take too much time out of your evenings / leaves time for you to do the dailies. Not always possible though.

    I have comped both ways.
    Actually caught up earlier in the year and did new comps for a while. I found I wasn't winning as much :(
    Had a holiday and have gone back to end date comping and wins have picked up again :j
