Sticky or Sub Board

mandyj123

Just a thought does anyone think it might be better to have all specific comps in a sticky or sub board meaning all clothes comps in one and all electrical / gadgets in another etc instead of all mixed up and yes i know u can use the search but sometimes it doesnt work to well would appreciate your thoughts on this

No (there are other sites available with them listed that way), I like them all in one place, I can go through them in a few minutes a day and see everything as it's added without any need to search for certain prizes.

Apart from all the issues of people posting them in the wrong place (which happens now despite there being almost nowhere else to post them), what happens when a competition has multiple prizes from different "categories" would the poster be expected to post it in each one?

I only enter certain types it means i have to go through loadssss of pages to find them so it doesnt take me a few minuates a day it takes me all day anyway it was just a thought and yes there is other websites that do it but i dont use them i use this one

No thank you. I suspect it would be too much work for the benefit of too few people.

It should only take a few minutes a day to go through the newly added ones, there are very few I enter and it takes very little time to red cross them.

I agree with mjm3346. I like it how it is. I sort the board by newest first so it doesn't take me long to catch up to the last comp I entered.

Loquax have the comps sorted into categories.

WeAreGhosts

this one also sorts into categories:

I like the board the way it is. Like mjm3346 and LadyMorticia, I sort the board by newest first so I stay caught up each day.

no thank you from me, as others say there are sites that do this if you prefer it.

a no from me too i'm a date ender and prefer it just the way it is, so easy to use the red x button as you go through them

As someone who enters late, I wish everyone would put the end dates a day earlier so I never click on a comp that is already expired.


I wish people would be mindful of the title to explain the prize more if it's not clear from what they copy from the comp site - so I don't click on for example 'win a top' and it's for a girl and i'm a boy.


Actually, I wish all female orientated comps were not posted because they are irrelevant to me and I don't want to have to scroll through them because I don't enter them.


I wish some consistency was found for example time of expiry posted as 12pm, NOON and MIDDAY on different comps.


I wish when a company runs a series of comps (like a different prize a day for a week) they weren't posted on one post with the end date set as the date of the final draw meaning I miss out on all the preceding comps because I am an end dater.






We all have our own style and systems. There will be things on the board that are incompatible with our systems and are frustrating. On the other hand, these same things may be perfect to match the systems of others.


It's fair to make suggestions to improve the board. Unfortunately, in this case, I think the suggestion is a little too specific to your own needs and therefore a non-starter.
