    Well as the weekend starts at 5pm on a Friday for me..........I've gone through all 37 pages (that was) of this board and tidied it up for you. Posts in the last 6 (ish) months have a redirection of 2 days and the older ones 1 day, this means that the notification arrows will disappear by Monday so you'll have a cleaner looking board ;)

    If I've missed any that you think should be moved just politely let me know and I'll move them.

    LOL if only, I found posts for many comps and codes, but weirdly, offers on Grazeboxes, dishwasher tablets and craft products, go figure! But also.......a regular of this board had posted wrongly here too :eek::eek: so don't be tooooo hard on those that may get it a bit wrong now and then as it seems we're all human after all ;);)

    Thanks for this but, just reading this again and see someone has just posted "Does anybody have any discount code for Stena Line or Irish Ferries" on the 26th.
    It would be great if this board was cleaned up - the easiest 1st step is to run a programme to remove all posts with a question mark in the title!

    Hi libertysurf
    I spent a good few hours going through the whole 37 pages of the board on Friday night, however it looks like 3 threads slipped through the net (which were much easier to spot once all the redirect arrows disappeared today), they have now been moved alongwith the latest poster to get it wrong ;)

    If you spot anymore, just let me know here and I'll shift them out.

    Great news. Would it be easier to monitor on a daily basis? Not being funny at all, but wouldn't it take a fraction of the time? Must have been a right royal pain to spend 5 hours catching up. However, your 5 hour marathon has been appreciated.

    There have been WAY more than 3 in the last couple of weeks, there has been one after another, after another, which encourages others to do the same, as they think they are in the correct section.

    Many thanks!

    Right, I asked very very nicely if the title of the board could be changed as it's slightly misleading if you read it fast or don't realise where you are etc etc. I asked to add 'holiday' in to highlight that it's just holiday offers and not washing tablets etc. I also asked for 'only' to be added at the end to counteract the 'where can I go cheaply' type questions, that didn't happen. We're monitoring it to see what effect it has and maybe 'only' could be added if this doesn't work effectively ;)
