Just wanted to warn you that with the new date box, for some reason on the date that you enter, say 10/07/2020. You will get the following at the bottom of the thread.
This discussion has been closed.
This is a problem if you need to update the thread daily as there is no way of adding a new comment.
With this in mind it might be better to not enter the actual closing date of the competition in the date field. Rather enter the date for the following day. In this case you would enter 11/07/2020.
Might be better if the date field was removed all together.

Comps are being closed a day early by the new, improved system.
They should never be closed, but they could be moved to Game Over.
This has been reported https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6163706 but as usual, weeks pass with no indication that MSE has seen this or cares at all.
I have been putting the "new end date" in as a day after the comp closes for at least a week now.

I was wondering about this as I've found it frustrating, I never look at the end date so didn't realise it was because it's the end date, I just assumed they would be moved over to game over on that date. I'm guessing certain people have to do this manually?1

So when (if?) the new End Date goes live and the End Date compers sort the Board by end date to enter on the final day, they are likely to find that a number of comps have actually expired a day earlier?One-Eye said:I have been putting the "new end date" in as a day after the comp closes for at least a week now.1 -
Not when (if?)... but if (when?)
I would hope that the "day early" problem is sorted well before the sorting by end date is working.
I can edit my posts - there will be a maximum of 300 or so.3 -
Update on Site Feedback - amendment imminent?
