I have entered a competition on here but on trying to click ENTERED nothing happens, is it the same for anyone else?

    I just had the same on a couple of comps, near the start on the main board. But when I opened the thread it showed "discussion closed", which I guess is why I couldn't click entered on them.

    It is usually due to the poster putting a wrong date (that we have already gone past) in the hidden "internal" closing date. I have sent a message to the poster to check.

    I'm getting this on some today
    It's not working on two comps which were posted this evening (about 90 mins ago) - both have end dates of 14/01 and are showing the "This discussion has been closed" message which is wrong as they're still open.

    However it has worked on a comp which was posted on 26/01

    So I'm wondering if the problem is actually that some comps have somehow been marked as Closed when they shouldn't have been? (I've never been able to click the Entered button on Closed comps)

    That was the problem, fixed now
