Hello all, If I apply for a sitting and I check the dates of the sitting for which I applied, I cannot see the number of applicants, but just the message saying “You’ve already applied for this sit”. If I remember well, we used to be able to see how many applicants applied, but then something changed. Is it just me who wants to be able to see this information? Thanks. ---

My account shows already applied and if i pull up the site on the web it tells me to sign up to apply. Just curious You may find this thread helpful. ---

Between the fact that listings go into review once they get 5 applicants, and the low applications badge showing for any sit where less than three people have applied, you know that your ‘competition’ can’t be any more than a few people at most for sits that are still open. So I personally don’t mind no longer being able to see the exact number. ---

That’s right @KC1102 I was thinking of that too. I’m probably too curious and need to know the number in detail 🧐 😃 At the same time I wonder why hiding this information anyway? ---

Who knows. Maybe THS will claim that the ‘you’ve already applied’ message was to ‘protect’ us from submitting duplicate applications. Like that was happening 😉 ---
