We're behind for August

altopiet · 08-16-2018, 05:04 AM

After trying to enter the previous draw, the minute it opened, and being informed a minute later I was too late, I realized probably more IT orientated folk with more knowledge how to get their entries in a split second after opening time, will have a chance, but the rest probably not.

I'll wait for a more general, user friendly lucky draw in future, because this seems more than a test of skill, rather than luck

A lot of people are on vacation right now. Which may explains in part the seemingly slow start.

And of course Australia doesn't exist so the NASA actors are actually on summer vacation like everybody else.

I entered the fourth thread last time half an hour after it opened - it never did fill.
No skill at all required.

This time 180 posts get you in.

Posts in this section don't count towards final requirement.

Any idea how you find out how many legitimate posts you've posted,then?

click your posts and count

Just doing a quick scan, and it looks like each page lists 25 posts. My eyes kept crossing trying to count individual posts, so knowing there are 25 listed per page makes it easier to add up.

add to that the problem what some members apparently have about posts they view as being made only to build the post count

I think that also has contributed to the lack of enthusiasm

Yep, that dampened my enthusiasm for posting.. too many sensitive people upset that I commented on older pictures.
I still do a bit here or there, but not the level that I used to.. :/

posts in this section and in groups don't count

I think

**MossyRocks** · 08-16-2018, 07:12 AM

I don't know if they don't count in this section but I know in the past posts to groups haven't and it sounded like they won't this time either. I have been trying to effort post with the exception of this post and one other one. My problem is that there is just so much I don't know that I can't really offer much. That reminds me I should post more in the critique section with some of my pictures I want feed back on. I will probably do that tonight.

ChristianRock · 08-16-2018, 07:20 AM

I don't have time to go and count my posts individually... I guess I'll know if I reach 180 when I do (or don't...)
