When the old green forum was replaced with... one that looked a lot like this new one, new users and users who didn't opt back in to the old green forum couldn't see the title of the replies in the longer threads, such as the Puzzler thread and the TaB Puzzles thread. That meant they couldn't see the E: date, but we could on the old green forum.

As a workaround, posters were asked to repeat the E(nd/xpiry) date within the body of their post, so we could see when the competition closed.

Now that we've all been shunted on to this new forum and it appears that we can"t opt back in to the green forum, is it worth repeating the request to include the E: date within the body of the post? Many of the posts don't seem to have the end dates within them, but others do. 

Apologies for what will appear to be another so-called moaning post about the new forum, but we *have* been asked for feedback, and this *is* more of a reminder or query than a moan. Also apologies if this has already been flagged. I've not got my head entirely around the new search feature yet.
