competition titles wrong way round

I would like to make a suggestion that we start reformatting our competition titles so that the pertinent info is in the first characters, so that we can identify the competition and whether it is a comments topic or the actual comp.
Here's my example from a few weeks back. (I copied mine from Lilly's before me)
'COMMENTS - MOVEMENT Fortnightly Competition'
Notice it says 'comments' first, then the competition name etc.

'competition' can be shortened to 'comp.'
I may be a grumpy git but it's really frustrating not being able to identify where I'm going
I have submitted a request for more chars in the title, but it will only partially help.
Thanks

Believe me..... I really tried to understand that frustration, but tbh I don't see the problem Subscribe to both and let the system warn you, if something happens. Your mail heading tells you which is which.

But......You are right It is very little to no trouble to start of with Comments in one heading to prevent unnecessary frustration or raised blood pressures.

BTW, I should 'big up' the forum team for very quickly allowing more characters for the heading.
But the 'problem' remains for most titles, so, as you say Martin, it won't hurt to change the way they're written.

Well....ahummm,lets say I can....(but won't, right now) name some other "issues" on the forum (competition related) that may need more attention, on the scale of priorities.
Best regards,

Martin.

What's on your mind Martin? Send me a PM if you don't want to say it out loud.
Best regards, John
