Actually - that didn't work! It still shows March. I think it maybe shows the last one that has had the poll added. To see April you need to open that whole post topic. But yes you need to know where to look and it could be more prominent. But I imagine stickying it every month could be a hassle.

It’s a bit chicken and egg with the visibility on latest threads. Because the more people enter, the more it shows up on latest threads. But the less it shows on latest threads, the more people don’t see it to enter. I agree it could maybe be more prominent each month.
Oh, i see. Thank you.

Oh! It used to be there though. Thing is, if i was able to find it, it must have been foolproof. Something has changed i think.

Maybe let one of the mods know. I also think it should be more easily visible.

Hello

Nothing has changed. March is showing on the main forum page last post because Serendipity posted in it 2nd March at 11.37pm whereas luna posted an entry in the april thread 2nd March at 8pm.

When someone posts another entry it will show in the last post section

I think that is what you are referring to?

Other than that,it is in the same forum section and sub section as it has always been

The photo contest has been placed there since I joined and we've never had any issues.

On the forum boards, the colum shows "last post" is when someone posted, it shows the same for every user. We don't have a latest thread function, just "unread posts" at the top right by your username which will be a section personal to each member

It is in the normal place Hamster of the Month - April 2022
It will only stay at the very top if the post is stickied but we have never done that for each month.
The only change lately has been that admin has put a link on the front page under the monthly winners photo to the competitions page. This was to try and encourage entries.

Oh, i see. I just clicked on the link under the front page photo and the April competition came up.
I didn't know that and assumed that it only referred to past winners. Thank you

It may be a good idea to adjust the wording to "Check out current and past hamster of the month contests here".
