Does that mean that if mine shows up in the report I am out already?

On the first day?

I did manage to not disqualify myself this time though, so I am learning at least.

Curses, foiled again! I did use spaces, I was trying to have fun with the "size" button and could only resize by seperating the numbers. I guess that I forgot to delete the spaces. It's funny though; the report is not showing me as disqualified for posting multiple numbers. Oh well, there is always next month!

ETA: thanks mnd
ETA: Wow you are quick mnd, thanks for the "fix"

Actually you're the first person to include a link in their post.

I've got it all sorted out now.

I'm not sure what to do about the guy with the math equation though...

Let me think about it a bit more.

I can't believe we're having this again! I thought for sure it would only run through 2008, although hell hasn't officially frozen over, I guess.

Thanks, Mark!!!

So in the interests of trying to extract the correct number from posts that include complex pseudo formulary I've adjusted the report to use the number to the RIGHT of the equal sign.

This means that if for some reason you post something like this:

87 = my number!!!1one!

the report won't see the '87' (and will likely show you as having picked '1').

This is a subtle change from the previous behavior where the first number in the post was scanned. This change in detection is only in effect for posts that contain the '=' symbol.

Let me know if anything else looks busted.

I'm so confused!!! (running with head in hands)

I'm sticking with plain "652" and "submit". I can understand that

I think if you want a 2 digit number, you're supposed to put a zero in front, like 077.

The screen saver is GOOD TO GO! It took a long time to download, and I was thinking, "WTF, over?!"; but now I know why! It's filled with GUN PRON! Hubba hubba!

Very cool!!! Y'all are too good to us. Great Products, Incredible Customer Service and really cool contests. The first 2 earned my business the 3rd is an awesome bonus.

Thanks M. Larue and team

So I noticed in the report the column at the bottom lists all the posters and the numbers chosen and breaks it down into Posters (valid, multiple, edited, comments, non-team)

I know if you post more than once, edit or are not a Team Member you're disqualified. I'm one of those that posted a comment. Nowhere in the rules did I see that adding comments disqualified a poster.

Am I disqualified or am I in?

My favorite part of the contest is to look at number post in which members unknowingly DQ'd themselves.

Read the rules, just sayin'...

Unclear. Previous months had stronger language in this respect.

I'll make the necessary changes to the report if this is clarified.

Same here. I love reading the witty comments people come up with to DQ themselves.

More power to 'em!

Those are funny!

The way I read the rules, if the comment is one smiley or a font/color/size, its allowed. Otherwise, you are at the mercy of LaRue.

Of course, I am not LaRue, so it would be best to wait for an official ruling.

Crap, I looked for this thread and somehow overlooked it. I duped someone by mistake.

Posted: 1/3/2009 6:20:10 PM EDT

[#40]

Nowhere is it stated in the rules that one CANNOT post comments with their number. Yet when I scroll all the way down the "Numbers/Picks/Posters chart my name's in Red. Two of us picked 714 but the "Picks" column only says 1.

If that means I'm DQ'd then I'm DQ'd and there's nothing I can do about it. I would like a confirmation if that's the case because I'm not the only one.

mnd, has there been a clarification about this?

My 1st LaRue contest since joining Team. I'll know better next time.
