LFG feature

If you GM a campaign, and you can't find your own campaign using the LFG feature. Does that works as intended? (was testing if it could be found using the LFG feature, because I find it really weird no one even viewed the info  requirements for signing up, being a week since I posted the campaign.)

One thing that has caught a couple people by surprise is that if the "Next Game Will Be..." field is filled out and that time is in the past, it won't show up in the search results.  So, for instance if the date was May 28, 2013 - it wouldn't appear in the listings and no one would be looking at it.

Then I need an option to display "Next game Will Be: Undecided" ...which will trigger on searches, as it is hard to have a set date, for a time that is dependent on applicants and when they can play. ...but nice to know why it won't show in searches. Know I just need to figure outif I should provide false hope to people, or wait for a dev to see this thread and hopefully implement the feature.

I'm not sure what happens if you leave it blank - that would be my first thing to try.  Also, you could put a date years in the future, but with a day you think you'd be playing.  I don't think potential players are going to bust you on the date if you explain what's going on in the campaign details. You might want to put your suggestion regarding the search feature in the suggestion forum where it's guaranteed to get the right eyeballs looking at it.

I tried blank, it just defaults to the time when you pressed 'save' or what it is you press when done editing.

Not sure about not being able to see your own game. I do know once you enter a time for the game, it forces you to put in a time each time, you can't leave it blank once a time is set.

Not sure if it forces you to put in something, or it just put in the current time when you press the 'save' or what you do when done editing time ...when leaving it blank, don't remember. (yeah might have repeated myself a bit from previous post, answering you)

Well I think its set up so that it automatically formats the time to the one they want by default.  When you have no text, it thinks you entered the time wrong so it tries to automatically fill it in. I think its something they likely have to fix or add something in the filter so if players type "Unknown" or "To be Decided" it returns it back to not having a specified time.

If you wrote either of those things you suggested, it tells you wrong format and leaves you to type something else, not 'de-focusing' like it would if it was a correct format.
