First it's 30 worthwhile posts in a given calendar month.  You certainly can post more than 1 post a day -- sometimes it hard to stop.

You can request the forum bonus whenever you have 30 meaningful/worthwhile posts -- that a judgement call -- and I usually try to have 35-40 just to make sure.

Click on the "been paid to post" link at the top of the page; in the middle of the landing page is another link that takes you to the page where you put the id numbers of 3 representative posts you've made.  On the right side of that page is another link that let's you view the posts that you've made so far and right above that is a count of the number of posts that you've made so far in the current calendar month (no guarantee that they meet the "meaningful/worthwhile" measure, and I believe any post made to the Contest and Promotion section in the Forum is excluded from the count, but is shown in the listing.)

When you look at the posts you've made so far, the ID number is shown for each post -- enter the ID number of the 3 posts you like the best.  And if you don't have 30 post yet this months, keep on going.

Anytime after you reached a count of 30 posts (I wait until 35 to be safe) for a given month, you can fill out the forum posting request form for that month.  The February count stops end of day on February 28th -- probably midnight PST, but maybe midnight EST.  If you complete the request form on or before February 28th, your posts will be reviewed and if they past muster, the bonus will usually be credited by the end of month following (ie March 31st).

You may also complete the request form in the month following (ie anytime in March for bonus request for February), but if you do that , the bonus would not be credited until the end of April.

good information - thanks for the tips!

It would be Feb. 28.  You can post more than once a day.  But they are looking for 30 post that are actually contributory, not a 1 word answer.  the promotions don't count either.  So it is wise to have more than 30 in a month.

I think you can request any time the current month as long as you have 30 points.  I've never had a problem getting paid for this, too.

I'm really slipping this month.  I've only had 24 posts to far, but I've had some family stuff that has kept me away from the house for a few days.  I guess I'd better kick it up a notch.  lol

Also, on the forum bonus request form, right about the 'click here to view your posts' link, they tell you how many eligible posts you have already for the month. I'm pretty sure they only count the ones that you can get credit for, so I go off of that.

Thanks, that answered my question.

Oh I was thinking you just have to send in the form for it when you have the posts, so if I sent in the form it would happen on the 28th then huh.

You could actually request the bonus anytime in February if you wanted to and had enough posts. But they are great because if you don't get a chance to request the bonus for the month we're currently in, you can in fact request a bonus for the previous month. Not so much pressure. But you still have to make sure you made at least the 30 postings WITHIN the month you're requesting.

Thank you for the tips and information on this forum.  I was confused on if it was 30 in a calendar month or just 30 posts then you get paid.  This helps me know how many I need to get this month to complete.
