Payment Proof Instructions

[lvstephanie]

After having several payments without showing any proof, I decided to get back into the habit of posting payment proof (and getting that extra buck). However it took me several minutes to figure out how to do it... I went to the Contests/Promotions page and noticed the old topic was locked, but that there was a new sub-forum with the proofs. Since the old topic was locked, I decided to go into the sub-forum instead. However I noticed that I wasn't able to start a new topic (or make any post) in that sub-forum. Confused, I started clicking on random stuff (like "Mark as Read" button), but still wasn't able to post anything. Finally I went back to the old topic hoping that even though it was locked, that there may be instructions posted before the topic was locked. Indeed that is where I found the instructions and the link for posting my payment proof.

My suggestion to make this easier for others new to the new posting system would be to have a sticky note at the top of the sub-forum with the instructions. Since the old topic is locked, they may not think to look there, but would more likely look in the sub-forum for the instructions.

Sounds good. Very helpful idea.
