I never sort the boards, I comp from the last place I was at and work forwards. Sometimes I'm up to date, at the moment I'm working on page 17, and that's no reflection on the forum changes, it's down to how much time I have. You will know when I am totally up to date and on page 1 as that is when I trawl social media looking for comps and post them on here. Until then I'm chasing my tail, but I never sort the boards into anything, so for me, the only snag affecting me is not being able to red x the comps I know I won't enter and having to open them to skip them so maybe costing me a few minutes per comping session.
I can see how it will hinder those who do sort the boards, but there are ways around it if you wanted to stay here. I win a fair bit with my method, so it works for me. However, those who are leaving/jumping ship/whatever you want to call it, will be missed, but everyone has a choice, and no one is irreplacable on a forum like this. Years ago we had many more prolific posters who have left for whatever reason, but the boards still run and we still comp. Yes I will miss Laks obviously, but I for one will be staying here as it is a hobby for me, not a chore.
Posting a competition is not really a problem and could even be quicker than before as a copied and pasted url automatically becomes a link. Entering a comp is no different than before.
Searching can be a little difficult but there are ways to get by.
There are not an enormous number of problems to be fixed and I'm sure they will be dealt with shortly. Until then don't keep moaning and being pessimistic, look for a way round and if there isn't one it will probably be fixed soon.
Keep comping, stay happy. Things are worse in China.

@MaineBlue I just wanted to say I think your humour is refreshing and funny and I can never remember anything offensive certainly nothing worth taking time of comping to report.

I just want everyone to know I have not left the MSE
(collective grown) I will just be going away for a few days. @bees-knees will be doing my share of the Mag-dailies whilst I'm away.
I hope everything is sorted soon and we can all return to just the comping.13 -
Just to let you all know that I am back and if I can help with posting please let me know.
