    I think we need to make it clear that you need to edit the first post by clicking on the three dots to select the dates/amounts before going back up to the top to select strikethrough. I discovered that you can toggle on and off the numbers if you accidentally select the wrong month/dates.

    Hi everyone,

    As the new formats will allow us to customise the posting page on a per-board basis, I'm testing out the idea of giving users the ability to choose the challenge. I know some members like the idea of doing the challenge in reverse order, or even having it end before December so the savings could be used for Christmas.

    I've recored a small demo below and would love some feedback. You can see in the demo I've left space for a demo video that could show the steps.

    That looks fantastic. Thanks very much for that. Very clever and as you say it leaves some flexibility for those who wish to do it in a different way. I personally do not stick to the regular way but I have found the selecting the days even randomly works ok.
