You will have to put an end date in the format E: xx/xx and in brackets state it is Instagram.Evelyn
What is the definition of a good wine? It should start and end with a smile.

You MUST have an End Date at the start of your title. If you don't know one then guess but add a question mark e.g. E: 01/04 ? with that exact format including spacing.
You MUST post a Closing Date in the Closing Date field when you make the post. Did you do this? What did you put?
I know you are keen to get started with comping but I suggest you spend a bit of time entering comps and looking at how they are posted before you continue to post them. Format is important.
To Edit your post, click on the cog like symbol at the right hand side of the blue bar at the top of the post, then click Edit. You will then be able to add an End Date to the start of the Title and check the Closing Date field which should contain the date 01/04/2021. Also add (INST) to the end of the title.4 -

Anyway I don't seem to have a 'cog like symbol' on the blue bar. I cant even see how I delete the post. I understand you might not like me now but help a gal out eh?2 -
You won't have the cog just yet, as your account is too new or you haven't posted enough, so you may be unable to edit this post.
You cannot delete posts either, even as a long term member, only comments.
I have sent you a message, I hope you don't mind! Explaining about how to post competitions correctly, it is important to keep the forum running smoothly and make sure people can enter in time etc. Although @Winenut and @thingamaBob touched on it and there is also some files about it and guides on the forum.1 winner will be chosen at random 2nd April and contacted by us on this account only.Thanks for sharing! Great prize. As the winner will be announced on the 2nd, I would put the first as the ending date.
E: 01/04 Win a Dyson Hair Wrap, Voucher & Beauty products worth over £1000 (Instagram)

You need to have the cog available to both Edit and Delete posts but you can never delete a thread starter post. So there is not much you can do unless the cog appears soon.3 -
Thank you for posting - just to help OP the Instagram post is from March 12th so you need to scroll back a bit to locate it.
You can also get an extra entry for following their TikTok account2 -
