Very cool 👍

[irl1]

Nice to see a new member doing a super giveaway like this "Thank you"


Not nice to see how many will sign up just for a freebie or how many will open a second account to have an extra chance

[ant0187]

This is incredibly generous - thank you and please count me in

Your competition and your call, but the 66th 'like' in this case would have been Everyone Owes.

ProBoards 'likes' are ordered as follows:

(i) first row, left column;
(ii) first row, right column;
(iii) second row, left column;
(iv) second row, right column;
(v) etc.

Your competition and your call, but the 66th 'like' in this case would have been Everyone Owes .

(i) first row, left column;
(ii) first row, right column;
(iii) second row, left column;
(iv) second row, right column;
(v) etc.

Sorry to be a pain, but the additional complicating factor is that ProBoards reorders the 'likes' by placing member usernames in alphabetical order — and so, technically, someone else will probably have been the 66th person to actually 'like' your post.

[avec art]

but I don't think there's a straightforward way of seeing the true order, if at all. So in the absence of that ability, then I suppose we'd need to settle with alphabetical order

It is possible but it would be a hassle.

qwerty would need to go to the 'Notifications' tab in her profile, and then trawl through the 'like' notifications — but only those corresponding to her original post in this thread — and figure out which one is the 66th 'like'.

[qwerty]

Technical. Serves me right for being too lazy to get my typewriter and lucky dip out like last time! I'll send one to eyectopus and Everyone Owes please both DM your addresses. Am also sending one to the Glasgow hospital charity effort which they will be auctioning on here at some point if anybody else wants the chance to bid for one. Hope all feel that's fair.

In the past most of the time people add their name so a huge list forms..

1. Qwerty
2. Gma
3. Nextentry

And so on. I can see why now. Still, thanks for the chance for us all!

Yeah should have done that, didn't know if it would just spam up the new threads section too much though.

Thumbs up to Qwerty. What a thoroughly decent person.

phew, that really is a hassle. At least 188 notifications to sort through, and that doesn't include the ones to discount. I think that is the logically reasonable and reasonably logical way to do it though

No no no. You did the right thing. Those lists (while generous) absolutely do clog up the board for those of us who read it via the "new posts" link.

I for one, really appreciated your method.

In hindsight, you could have stated that the entrants usernames will be sorted in alphabetical order with a random number generator determining the winner. Or something to that effect.

Regardless, there's no doubting your generosity and decency. Thanks for giving us all the opportunity.
