wonder if we could reach 80 % by the end of the day today

remember forum time is UTC if I am not mistaken
If we do as well today as we did yesterday, that is a definite possibility.
Yesterday we made over 2100 posts - we began today needing 2044 posts to reach 80%.
I record only end of day {UTC} counts, but my recollection is that the noon EDT count today was roughly the same as it was yesterday.

remember that the 180 posts in August gets you into the raffle automatically

but you can compete for a spot after 10 posts

you have that

and interesting in July, the third thread did not fill up for hours
Your previous mention of this 180 post way actually got me trying to get into the draw this way

Bert has said he won't be posting any where near what he has done the last two days

so we do have to make up his contributions

A bit surprising, because I thought numbers like that would be hard to do under the new procedures {which I ran into twice this week} - but not "ridiculous"

Can anyone tell me where I can find a tally of my monthly posts for the giveaway, I'm getting desperate, almost cleared all my old images.
Make sure you respond to each one who comments on one of your images.

I've been hanging onto the back - but that is just fine with me.

Yes, but in June and July, most people who posted over 100 times in one day accomplished that by commenting on lots of old photos. Adam restricted that early this month, and shorty after that you were commenting on the lack of any big numbers. According to my memory, Bert was the first person with a post total over 200 since those restrictions were put in place.

I believe you are correct

my point is that the forum has a lot of areas where you can post or start a thread and there is no restrictions on those areas

my post count today is beyond my normal range

I go to my Activity tab and pull up my posts. There are 25 listed per page, so count back until you get to your first post on 8/1.
Thanks! I was wondering how to tell my post number for this month.

That is a good tip; though I'm not aiming for 180. Anything over 10 would make me happy enough.
