Had Avon stopped doing their sweeps thing now? Haven't seen one for a while?

Don't know, forgot about them. I don't usually enter them anyway, I can't put Avon stuff anywhere near me - my skin hates it!

Hi,

I would like to start having a go at a few competitions and would like to find the page/link/thread that just lists the comps offered in date order - ie when a new comp is placed on the page it goes to the top of the thread.
When I look at the the Competitions Time forum at the mo it seems to list the threads in the order that someone last posted a message on it regardless of if the competiton came on 5 minutes ago or last month.
Is there a way to just see the comps listed as they come on the site?
Or is it just a Monday and I still havent woken up yet?!

Many thanks,

Budeman

Hi budeman

I don't think there is a way to do what you're asking, either that or I haven't mastered it either. Usually people click on the 'thanks' button on each post as a way of knowing they have entered that comp.

Personally, I start at the end of the list of comps (page 192ish at them moment) and work forward. Everytime I finish for the day I write down the date and time of the post I finished on so I know where to start again the next day.

Welcome to the site by the way

I more or less do it that way too, like Jen, but I don't quite go back that far! Normally I save the last page I do on my favourites and then it's normally a case of going back a few pages depending on how long I haven't been on. Normally if I skip a day comping then it adds about 10 pages! But always use the thanks button to keep track.
There might be a way to keep a better track of things, but I don't know it!

I asked this a little while ago and people suggestd going to the bottom of the page and viewing them by start time,not by last post - it does keep them in the order they were first put up and is easier to work through them

Yup - I sort the threads by Thread Start Time - Descending.

That puts the newest comps at the top, I page down a few pages to see where I got to yesterday, then work my way back up to the top.

Doing it this way means I don't need to look at comps I've already read (whether I entered them or not)

I would find it useful to have the comps listed in 'Date Over' or 'End of Draw' That way you wouldn't miss any. What do you think?
