    I've only in the last few days returned to MSE comping because I couldn't work the new website. I'm an end date person and was happy with most of the functionality having returned (or maybe I just persevered a bit!).
    However, I'm finding that when I sort by end date and then start working back up the pages, whole pages are repeating. I went from about 64 to 55 earlier and each page was exactly the same set of competitions. Is this a known problem or just me? Is there a way round it?
    I also noticed that when sorting for comps finishing tomorrow, say, I see ones ending today that I hadn't seen before. Very frustrating.
    If you have nothing constructive to say just move along.

    I'm having exactly the same problem - I missed lots of comps on Friday and hardly any showing for end of month just pages repeating - so frustrating!
  • I am having issues right now. Not all comps ending today are showing as can't cycle through pages. Just duplicating pages. Can this be fixed please or has someone got a direct link to all of today's ending comps. Thanks 👍

    Hi Steve
    Try this to get you started: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/competitions-time?sort=new
    It will show them in order by the date/time they were added to the list, with the most recent ones on Page 1 and the oldest ones on the last page
    Good luck !

    "The drop down menus are on the top left of the Competition Time board, select 'closing date' from the first, and 'open' from the second menu. The longest dates are first (ending in 2021) at the moment." @Misslayed

    This method worked quite well for me, but unable to find the feature in the new changes.

    Is there another way to filter comps by closing date?

    Thanks for any help.

    @libra10 the drop down menus are now just below the list of sub boards (ie below Game Over). I'm using an iPad in landscape, but I'm aware it can be different for others..
