Ice-Out Contest question:

NHKathy · 02-22-2013, 10:00 PM

Hi Don,
I'm just curious if there is anyway to "sort" the already submitted guesses by the guessed date, rather than the entry date?
I don't want to make a guess, not realizing that, say, 40 other people have already guessed that same day...

I know I could just scroll through, but my eyes were starting to go googley.

I'm not trying to make for work for you, I am just being curious. If there is an easy way to do that, that would be great.

Sorry, the script that runs the contest is very basic and doesn't allow for that kind of sorting. It is actually an old forum system that I stripped down about 10 years ago for this purpose. I may try to get something more up to date running before next year's contest.

(Sorry the reply took so long but I've been traveling this weekend and am way behind!)

Don, please don't apoligize for whatever time it might take you to reply to a question. What you do here on the website involves intense time on your part and a strong dedication. You devote endless time so that all of us on the forum can enjoy it. You're the hero in my eyes.

Thanks Don, and I agree -no need to apologize! -I haven't been back on the forum until today anyway

@Lakegeezer - is that graph for the submissions from this years contest?
