I can now see the red cross or green tick boxes immediately on opening the comps forum page, and can cross or tick without going into the thread.

Requests from the original announcement:-GeneralThe new changes have been applied across all 3 comp forums.
Any changes to Competitions Time (cat=72) also need to be applied to Post/Phone/Text (cat=270) and to Game Over (cat=74)
1) Enter and Skip
a) The view shown and functionality implied is a big improvement - thankyou.
b) Important - We have previously requested that we can Un-Enter and Un-Skip ie. remove a tick or cross.
c) Nice to have - We have asked that we can mark a competition with both a tick and a cross.
Later Addition - a great idea:womble_lancs said:It would be nice if there was a function to "mark all on this page as skipped".
2) Closing Date
a) Some people may moan at the extra step when posting, but they should see the need for it.
b) Very Important - The date must be easily editable after posting.
c) Important - Please ensure date is capable of being typed, or copied in, or selected from the calendar as shown.
d) Important - When first implemented, all existing comps will not have a closing date, and this needs to be considered.
1a - Done
1b - Not Done
1c - Not Done
2b - Done
2c - Done

Great to see. I wonder if these changes are part of the reason why I'm getting an error message when I try to post a comp this evening...Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none.

Yessss!! It's only taken 5 months and it's only one of the things we desperately wanted changing, but it's progress so I'll take that as a win!!!
(if only this had happened a week or so ago! Ironically I've just spent the past week catching up on comps and it took aaaaages....)3 -
