More progress

Does anyone know whether you will be eventually able to see whether you have entered a competition when searching by end date?

This is something I'd find really useful too.
Actually, I'm a bit bemused by the celebrations - I could see entered / skipped from the main page before.  I can see that we can now do the tick or cross without opening a thread, but if those ticks and crosses can't be seen when searching, it's no real progress - or am I missing something?

And it would also be less bover if you could hover!

Has anyone else noticed that a lot of expired competitions are still showing in the main competition forum? I can't even figure out how to report one as Game Over.

Expired competitions have to be moved individually to Game Over by the Board Guides more or less on a 1 by 1 basis. Clearly this is extremely time consuming and they do get a bit behind. They are aware of this.
There is a new End Date field which has to be set when new comps are posted. This was only introduced on 1st July. This will be part of an automatic system of moving expired comps to Game Over but it will take a while before it has been set on all current comps and at the present time this system still has a few bugs to sort out.

This new end date will also allow the Board to be sorted by End Date which will then show the Entered/Skipped buttons. BUT it will probably still be a month or two before the date has been set on the majority of current comps on the main board.

Thanks very much @thingamaBob this is really helpful! I'm glad I don't work in IT

I am reliably advised that these have now all been dealt with.  Thanks for your fantastic efforts @Misslayed
