Stopping at 31 posts is cutting it thin. You should make sure you have plenty in case a few don't qualify as contributory. I'm a blabbermouth so I don't have that problem and have only missed one month in the last 3 years.

Click on the "been paid to post" link at the top of any forum page and then on the green link in the middle of the landing page.

At the bottom of the 2nd landing page (the page you used to submit your request), if a listing of the history of your forum bonus requests.

If the May submission was denied, I suspect it will tell you that.  If it is still pending, it will tell you that also.

If it was denied, scroll up to the link that allows you to view your posts and scan through the ones you did for May.  If any were posts to the Contests/Promotions section of the Forum -- those do not count towards your 30 minimum. 

I usually have 40-50 posts each month before I make my request just to be sure that I meet the 30 meaningful posts requirement.

I received my $3 posting bonus for May on June 30.

as with anything along this lines you should always do a few more for insurance that you will have more than enough in case any are DQ'd. just like going over the $25 cashout limit in case anything is reversed on you. If you think all of them should have qualified, then submit a support ticket to have that verified and ask there why you did not get the bonus.

Now this is where I wish we had a LIKE button for posts. I never even thought of looking to see why a bonus was denied (maybe because I never had one denied), but it certainly makes sense.

HI OLd Buddy- that is one of the things that I like about FC, if you do have a question or something is unclear, you can submit a support ticket and have it answered clearly for you most of the time, unlike other sites that just say go read the FAQ's and figure it out on your own. At least with the knowledge then of why something did or did not happen you can move forward and do things differently or at least keep an eye on them to not have future surprises. Looking over one's list of posts and deducting any that might have been too simple or posted regarding what credited for you and I think the off topic area which don't count for the bonus, then one will know where they stand and it is not that much more to do more than one per day for a few days to make sure you go over as well as of course don't wait until the last few days of the month when it appears that everyone is posting just to post and get the bonus, a lot of those are difficult to reply to are to add anything of quality to.

thank you everyone. but I just follow the guid line, and I only saw april approved and paid only. I know I did 32 post for May. I hope I have no trouble for June. wish me luck. I have no try the support ticket. I will figure out how to do it.

I always get my 31 in and submit them but I keep posting until the end of the month and generally have about 40, that away I know that if one is disqualified I have others to replace it.

I'm pretty sure that off-topic posts do count for your 30+ posts.  Believe only the posts to the Contest and Promotion section of the Forum do NOT count.
