Hope all the problems are work out for the next drawing. Looking forward to it.
Did you ever locate the third "raffle" thread?
K-1 Raffle: Entry thread 3, 11:59pm UTC, June 30, 2018 - PentaxForums.com
There were no serious issues with it.


If I understand correctly, the threads at the end of the month will be of the same sort and placed at the same place.

In the meantime I would recommend that you participate in several more threads here at the forum, to seal your eligibility and to become more comfortable with the place.

How are you people getting the new percentages to the goal? I'm not seeing the promised progress bar, although I saw it at the end of June.

It should be right at the top of the page you just posted to AFAIK

I'm seeing 47.52% now after my tiny contribution.

I have the same issue. I did not have the bar when it was first introduced. It then appeared until a few days ago when I no longer had it. Minor problem but odd.

OK, now I'm seeing it. I had to delete the notification that was begging for donations. Once I did that the progress bar notification took its place. 49.43%, almost halfway there!

Glad you got it. My problem is that I have been a sponsor for years so I do not see a donate button, so no way to do it. Oh well.

You need more posts. I would suggest that you become involved in real discussions in other threads and/or post photos in the "Post Your Photo" section

I wonder if it might have been a good idea to raise the minimum postings a bit higher to make sure the rush of people coming on board for the contest at least contribute something to the contest. It would also help with the post totals.

From Adam's behavior, I think he wants this thing to succeed; his actions, in my daughter's words, say "work with me here". Based on last month, at this point in the month, the only effect of a more distant target would have been to get a few of us to go into hyper mode, but I doubt if that is what he wants.

Well, of course he does.So do I. My post was not a criticism, just a speculation.

I think 10 is a good number. You have to engage instead of just "entering". It's easy to track and if this is too much than more is just forced.

June was 1 post.
July was 10 posts.
Maybe August will be 20? or more? Need to balance getting people to post and getting people to post good content and not filler crap.
