    I also don't use the ending lists, I prefer to use the main pages and scroll through for the competitions I want to enter. At least that way I can get some idea of who can enter comp etc, by holding my mouse over the competition and reading it before clicking on it. I can't do that with the ending lists.

    I would help if I could, but I don't have time to keep up with the comps as it is.

    I find the ending lists a godsend as I can go through them and know that the comps from that date are all sent off.

    Grateful thanks to everyone who does them.

    i would love to but have been extremely busy at work and woulsd hate for people to depend on me when i cant deliver

    saying that i think i need to start from page 50 and work onwars to catch up
    i havent been comping for a while
    i think the slow connections puts me off and also other projects

    i do like popping in and out though
    but thankyou and good luck to whoever volunteers we appreciate everything

    i have no idea how to make it easier for other compers
    maybe everycomp is to paste them into work folders in office or something via various dates

    Come on folks, comping is supposed to be enjoyable, not tedious hard work. I don't use the lists either but good luck to anyone who does. As has been stated earlier Loquax have all the comps ending that day.

    i use the list and think its a fab idea to keep them going but being a single mum i wouldnt have the time to do it (also cant seem to search it always says no match found) but i really appreciate evryone that does as without them i would miss loads and its not because i cant be bothered to look through, as i do but still manage to miss loads.

    i feel a bit bad as i dont have the time to help (im sure most of u understand what its like having a 19month old lol) i really do thank all that are making time to help others.

    just wanted to let everyone know y i couldnt help as i didnt want you all to think i was just being lazy.

    sorry but i don't use the lists, i'm always catching up with the posts sometimes 20-30 pages behind , takes all my time just catching up without going through the lists as well.

    I try and post comps as often as i can to give something back.

    how do you do it cause every time I try to search for E: 13/02 for example I get everything under the sun but that.
    very busy but if I knew how maybe could spare some time. I find the lists great for a last minute check and always find some I missed so thanks guy you are saints.

    I can't help this month... maybe next.

    Not really sure where my opinion lies. Right now I am pretty up to date with comps (I have a few days off work to thank for that - and I know it won't last long), but I do admit to looking at the ending lists and entering the odd one or two. I realise they are helpful to lots of people but am not sure we should have them all the time.

    Of course, if we had the searchable end date we wouldn't need the lists as people could do it themselves if they wished... but then from being on here for a while I know that is a conversation that has and is being had every day.

    Thanks to all those who do make up the lists, it must take ages :)
    Life is all about the journey.
  • Maybe there could be different sub-sections to the forum with different dates, and people could post the comps into those sections, and a miscellaneous one for unknown end dates??

    Just a suggestion anyway!
