    thanks for a superbly laid out post

    :)
  • Could i just ask, how do i do a search by date? as i'd like to look for the 03/03 ending comps now as i won't get time to look at the ending thread tomorrow.

    If i search for "03/03" it says nothing found?

    Cheers

    you can't, hence the debate about these lists. the only way to do it is to look through the 170 odd pages

    Thats a bit sucky. it means because i won't have time to come here tomorrow, i'll miss out on the ending post. I'm happy to see a resolution to the long argument, and glad they haven't scrapped the ending posts completely, but would be nice to have 2 days ahead.

    Mehh, guess they can't please everyone!

    you could do it on monday? if you search "competitions ending" they will come up
  • You can reorder the comps list by post title but we then run into a problem. There are still loads of variants to the expiry date you still have to check most pages anyway so it only helps by slightly grouping them.

    Actually I have a suggestion that we volunteer for the next day in these threads as it'll only get lost in the discussions. It's kinda happened for the last 2 anyway and is probably far more relevant here?
