It is pretty simple to receive the bonus. Firstly, you must post 30 times within a month. Any post (that qualifies in terms of content, eg the post must carry forward the conversation in the thread without being too short (like a one-word response)) counts, whether it begins a new thread or is just a response (thus this post will count towards my total for the month). Once you have made the 30 posts, you must apply for the bonus... If you go to your "My Account" screen, in the left column under the "Profile ans Settings" section is a link to apply for the bonus. From this link, you will be given a form to fill out; you just need to provide the Message ID to 3 of the posts that you made that month and check the box that you understand that it may take up to 65 days for the bonus to go through. To the right of the form is another link that will open in a new window / browser-tab that shows all of the posts that you have made starting from most recent. You can use this in order to go through your posts for the month and select the 3 Message IDs to put into the form (just copy / paste the ID from the tab with all of your posts into the Forum Bonus form). Although you can fill out the bonus form for the previous month (if you forgot), you still need to make 30 posts each month (ie you can't make 31 this month and use one of the posts for the previous month when you only made 29 posts). BTW, posts like this should be written in the Support section of the forum so that a) your topic will be read and responded to more quickly and b) others with similar questions are more likely to browse / search thru the Support section to find answers that others may provide.

I have had no problems as long as I get my 30 posts in time

When starting a subject or topic, don't just ask a Question which is not a subject or  topic and is very lazy, lame, redundant, and annoying tactic many use to get their quota of posts
