Olympic Betting Problem

[kompressaur]

I dont know about you but i'm finding it hard t keep up with when to get my bets on and when the final for each event is etc. It's got me thinking that we could make things a whole lost easier for us all but only if everyone agrees that it would help. What im suggesting is....

I make up a post form on the frontpage. It will just be the same as a post form on this forum and i wont even encourage you to add a picture. I will set the comments to create a thread in this forum. we can move the post to the 'divisional' threads above if applicable. I will add a TIME and a DATE field to the form for when the fibal is. then i coud make up a list on the sidebar displaying the soonest olympic bets offered sorted by time. This would mean we get to see what OIlympic bets posted are for today and for a particular time of the day. Clicking the title in the sidebar will take you to that post/thread. By my reckoning we wont miss anything then. What you think?

Right we're cooking with gas. you will see the block in the sidebar. I will go tidy it up and look out for any future bets posted and add thm to it. I will add a link to add an olympic event to the sidebar too and you can use it if you wish to have a bit more exposure. this will be the link

dont worry about the end date. Just leave it as it is. Maybe i can remove it. I will add a picture field too but that will be optional. I like seeing a nice picture easily uploaded and resized with my posts. It will automatically post your bet/event in this forum. If any mods are about then feel free to merge threads etc but having extra posts about aint a problem.

I suppose possible we could expand it and have golf betting etc. Maybe something to think about in future

Oh! one last problem. We dont have any Olympic tips to add

Actually it was quite good how that dissapeared after the event. We could maybe use this in a more widespread way. Some kind of 'Dont Miss' betting event or even just to have user submitted times for olympic finals thats folks are looking forward to. aye thats a cracker of an idea. Ill go change it a bit but if you see where im coming from start giving me some thoughts on how we can utile this to the max. I could add it to the 'blog previews' too. then folks might use it and its there not to be missed in the sidebar

Ive moved it back down near this forum. after the olympics we could use it with the frontpage previews as mentioned and have it back up top. Be ideal actually. Folks get a blog of their post, we get a frontpage preview and the forum gets a nice post that it may not have got if foks just thought that all their great work wasjust gonna be forgotten un unviewable next week.

ive added the brit gold hopefuls for tomorrow. when my computer is running better i will add the others. feel fre to add them yourself using SUBMIT>>EVENT

we'll kep an eye on that test event about 1:50 to see if it dissapears on time. I might have the clock settings wrong
