New Forum layout problems / bugs / How Do I?

Ahh yeah ... I think that's more of a bug, I think that more has to change as opposed to it being a nice change (and it's quite an easy thing to do), but yeah, I've added it into Nice to have.

@sleepyjones Thanks for the update, it would also be nice to have the Popular competitions page back.

Sounds like the important things are being worked on which is good. I'm not sure if there has been a decline in competitions posted since the change. I'm going to be making an effort to post more. I've been here 12 years on and off and have not been as active posting comps since social media took over (I miss the old style competition days lol) but would be sad to see my fave competition forum lose its following

I'm struggling with the search if anyone can help? I  have a few comps to post but when I search for dupe spotting I'm getting no results. If I type dominos /domino's into the search then 100's of posts come up from all over the forums. When I advance search & choose Competitions Time from the category list it shows no results, no matter how I do it. However, some pop up as a drop down list after typing so I know they're are some out there.

I'd be really grateful if someone can help me work out how I can search

Compliment button is useless as a comper on the TAB or Puzzler threads, as it doesn't show you have clicked it, so cannot tell what i have entered.

Don't Search using box 1
Click on the icon at 2
Type your search into box 3 and click the Search button to the right of it.
Scroll down to see the first set of results - these will be from LIVE Competitions Time only. If you want to include Game Over as well, Scroll back up and click on the "search subcategories" button then scroll down and click the "Search" button.
You can search for exact strings of words by putting them in double quotes eg. "isle of wight"

Oh, as easy as that I totally didn't see it, happening a lot to me lately, haha.

Thank you so much @One-Eye !!

@sleepyjones @One-Eye about this editing the first post, does this mean I won't be able to update the daily thread first few posts that are indexed? I've updated it today and yesterday with no problems so far?

You won't be able to update the very first post until it gets sorted but from post 2 onwards should be OK.

Sorry probably has been asked but I used to comp 2 ways, 1 was having the board with newly posted comps in order of time posted the other was to comp via to popularity option. I still have the bookmakrks but they don't work. Do you know if these features will be included at all please?
