Default More info in title??

Hi, Wondering if we can get posters to consistently put just a tad more info in the title - so we don't waste time (for those of us on dialup - I'm not the only dinosaur am I?) getting excited bout a comp, only to discover its up North or in the South Island...Or its only valid if you are a Co/business...

Also I sometimes forget - when I've shot off a string of email replies - which ones can be entered more than once (Nothing worse than buggering your chances by entering more than once or not entering again - and again - when you can...)
I know some posts are entered in "daily and monthly" but the ones you do "email replies" to or use snail mail, don't end up there???
The "ticks" are great Is there anyway we can mark this info in a similar way??
Cheers

GREAT idea possum !!

I'm on boadband but still have a slow computer !

YES would be better to see:
"Win tickets to Boogie movie in Wellington"
than simply:
"Win movie tickets"
or
"New comps up"
(also gives people something to *search* on)

I now keep track of the comps I have entered by selecting "notification type - no email* to get that tick showing. For multiple entry ones or ones than you can do the next month you can check the date you posted in the thread (if that makes sense ?)

Thanks heaps Jaro Re "notification type no email"- aah that explains why there was no actual msg...lol Thought I was going mad... (I may be, but that's another story...lol)

Kinda makes sense re checking the date... Just thought there might be a simpler, more obvious way... I know I could set up a file myself in Outlook...

Cheers

There ARE monthly and daily threads that combined several comps - we probably need to bump them up more ?!

In fact - I'll do that RIGHT now possum !!!

Such a good reminder, Possum.
It is fabulous that people are putting up so many competitions but when time is valuable, it is nice to be able to see immediately what the comp is for and where. Heaps you have to actually logon etc to the site to simply see it is only for Auckland residents etc.

Thanks to all posters regardless!!!

Its a good reminder but I think people who post the comps deserve way more credit than they get - if they forget no biggie.

The time and effort they put into finding comps far outweighs looking at a few comps your not eligable for - ya know?

Amnyway I just wanted to say thanks to the posters!

Thanks for the reminder, I guess its one of those things, as LX said, its more important that the comps get posted, but I do agree it would be good to have more informative titles.....in fact, thats my resolution from now on!

Im always hesitant to post new posts, in case Ive missed it already posted, now if we have more rules about titles it will get to nerve racking for newbies to post comps!

Was just a suggestion - not a rule (there are no real "rules") As I said, I thought it might make it easier to do a check, if there was just a tad more info
