How to resurrect a post from Game Over?

Hi - I've noticed that there's a post called "Win an overnight spa experience at Titanic Spa" which is in the Game Over section as the expiry date was given as 25/01 when actually it doesn't expire until 25/02 (easy mistake to make as there's conflicting info on the comp page). Is there any chance this post could be moved back to the main competitions page with an altered end date? I don't really want to create a new post in case people who entered it before accidentally enter it again.

    When there is conflicting info on a website regarding the closing date, I think most regular posters understandably use the date that occurs soonest just to be on the safe side. Better to extend a date later (and/or reinstate from Game Over) than have people miss out because they missed the earlier date if that turns out to be the correct one :)


    This is what I do when I'd like a thread moved out of Game Over, so hopefully it's the correct way!

    Near the bottom of the page when viewing any of the competition related boards, you should see (I'm not sure if it's different on different forum layouts) the board guides listed. Just click on one of their names and send them a private message asking them to move the post and change the end date.

    Thanks for the tip! I have PM'd one of the board guides.
