Hi,

I have been comping on here for a while now and i feel a bit of a cheat as i dont post any comps. I want to return the favour and am offering my services to do the "competitions ending" list if anyone wants me to do this??

If so, when should i do it for??

Thank you!!

I would have thought that you are best off asking in the comps ending thread or I think the main ones organisaing it are princessmoneysaver and wannabeonthebeach

princessmoneysaver

iwannabeonthebeach is taking the names at the moment, I'm sure you'll catch her around somewhere to PM her or like hjb suggests put a post on the latest 'comp ending' thread.

Beetlebug1983

ok, will do that!!

thank you )

I really appreciate those that go to the effort of finding out the end date of competitions for the following day and put those together in an easy to read format and I'd like to be able to help with this.

However, from attempting to search these end dates myself and throwing in "06/04" for instance, it's impossible to bring those up. The search facility just doesn't seem to work well. The only way of finding these seems to be /edit /find "06/04" and going through page after page individually - it takes a ridiculous amont of time and surely this can be shortened.

I realise that it's something to do with vbulletin and their useless search facilities but perhaps we can do something to help with that when we post competitions.

If we post the thread title with the date format without the "/s", for instance 060408 or perhaps 06April, would it then work when doing a search and if so, should we change the way we initially post so that we all have the same format?

If this works, perhaps we can make this less labour intensive when compiling 'comp ends at ????' threads?

I suppose this has been discussed before but there seems to be no easy way of doing this and there should be an easier way?

What does everyone think?

Thanks.

Hi babes - yes, it's been discussed a few times!

I'll PM Dalkirst to put you in the discussion thread, where you'll get more answers to your post, and be able to read back on a lot of this theme! :D:D
