New Forum layout problems / bugs / How Do I?

I used to be able to search for closing soon by going to this search 
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/search?adv=1&search=&title=E%3A+03%2F03&author=&cat=72&tags=&discussion_d=1&within=6+months&date=today

Now it's bringing up 100 pages closing today which is definitely wrong. So I tried putting " " around the end date but there are definitely some comps not appearing now. 

Nothing is coming up in search for me that is posted after 26th February. Really confused by it as I see there is one ending today posted today on the board but it's not coming out in the search. 

So miss the old forum. I'm gutted.

And now we seem to have yet another problem. I'm just going through the board looking at today's comps and finding several from the 25th in among them. And before anyone asks they're showing up as new, but have no new activity on them!

@webkn The fact that search is not including anything posted after 26/02 has been posted in CCC and in Site Feedback as far back as 27/02.

How are you bringing up "today's comps"? Are you using https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/competitions-time/?sort=new This brings up comps posted in thread date order starting from the most recent and looks to be working OK for me.

As there seem to be less comps than there used to be I was just going through the main board without using any search filters and seem to be getting several comps that were posted a week ago today. The only reason they stood out was because one of them is one I posted and it hasn't been edited or replied  to since posting. 

There are a couple on this page https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/competitions-time/p5

I see what you mean. How do you normally access the board? I always use the link I posted above, now I'm wondering if that is missing out a few so I haven't looked at them previously and that may be why they are showing as "New". But , no, that can't be the case as I have clicked the Skipped/Entered buttons so must have seen them. Very strange. Those 2 from 25th, even if you click into them, when you come out they STILL show as "New"
It does seem to be only those two. All the others that show as "New", for me, have had new posts added.

Since the new site launched there seems to have been a lot less comps, so I just find where I'd got up to the last time I looked on the main board, then continue from there. It seems to be taking about the same length of time to comp, but that's because the new forum's been a pain in the proverbial to get used to.

It is going to be looked at. Quote from the Snagging thread:-

Next up, we’ll be sorting:

• Returning ability to skip competitions from List view (we'll also make it possible to mark them as entered here too).
• Investigating sorting, filtering and expiring options for Competitions Board.
• Date stamps on Mobile view.
• Functionality of cog etc on Mobile.
• Post numbering to enable easy linking to individual post.

I'm sorry not to read through 39 pages and counting to look for something relevant to me, but I still get ZERO search results every time I try to find the updated ITV comps for postal entries. Even the search term "DERBY" on its own produces literally nothing at all. And yet, oddly, if I look for big-ticket comps by searching for "000" then I get 44 results right now. Sensible-looking results. I am on a new iMac with a new version of Google Chrome. What's up?
