Advents threw off my entering process

Mmills

Hey,
Do you all have your own way of entering competitions?
I usually have it down to an art now: 
1) Go through the list and click Entered for the ones I want to enter and open it in a new tab
2) Skip the ones I don't want to enter
3) Repeat once or twice a day

Now...went to the advent ones yesterday and went into full meltdown mode haha.  It took me like 3 hours to do it all.  It was like I was a complete noob to using a computer.  Hoping today is quicker haha!

I do the exact same. definitely found it easier when advents were in one post with links to each advents but for some reason it took me a lot longer to enter than normal too.

It's A LOT of work for someone to compile and sort that list and keep it updated though but I do agree.  At the moment, I find myself  going through the advents then get bored at around page 5 or 6, give up for a while and then come back to it later only to find the posts have all been shuffled and I've no idea which ones I've done and which ones I haven't.  I should probably have a better system in place but to be honest, I can't really be bothered with it at all this year

If you go to the top of the board and change the "Sort Hot" (sorted by latest post date order) to Sort New", this will put the board in to order of thread start date. If you make sure it's always sorted this way, the threads will always be in the same order.

Handy, thanks.
Haven't played about with the sort order at all since they implemented it, kinda forgot all about it to be honest
