Just realized that after my last $3 forum bonus credited, I forgot to complete the form for July's bonus.
I was looking forward to that $3 credit in the next few days... that won't be happening now.

I always make sure I get my 30 posts in for the month. That $3.00 a month bonus is always nice.I always forget the picture payment proof though

I did the posts... just forgot to fill out the request form.

I hate to say this today, but aren't you able to still request your July forum bonus through the entire August calendar month?  You have to make the 30 posts by the end of July (which you said you had), but you still have an extra month to ask for the bonus - unless I am misapplying the rules here.  So unless I am wrong - you could have still asked for that bonus when you first started this forum thread, but now that we are into September it might be forever lost.

I am a month ahead and never thought of requesting two months at the same time, but I don't know why that wouldn't work.  So at the end of September, even though I've completed all my posts for September, I only put in a request for August.  Then at the end of October, I will request September.  It works for me.

I had not thought of it that way.  I have always concentrated on meeting the posting requirement toward the goal of submitting it at that month's end.  It works for me.  However, your explanation may give some folks relief if they have feared that they missed the posting bonus altogether.  It wouldn't hurt to try.

The system won't let you have 2 requests at the same time. That's why submitting late can be dangerous... you might miss an entire bonus.

It came today!

Forum Activity Bonus (July17)
Sep 9th   $3.00   Approved

Not bad considering how late I submitted it!

You expressed my concern best about posting bonuses stacking up in the queue when I noticed the status of "pending 0 days" going on for several days.  The system is not automated enough that when zero (0) days is reached it "automatically" applies the bonus in a member's account.  There must be a step before that happens and it involves an administrator's hands-on execution, as far as I can tell.  I worried that administration was creating a "bottleneck" for itself in their system.  That inaction could lead to a flood of support tickets that unnecessarily slows down that system.

I was relieved to see mine yesterday:      Forum Activity Bonus (July17)    Sep 9th    $3.00   Approved

So that cleared up the queue.

However, administration also moved forward to approve what was "pending" (although the confirmation email sent when you submit your postings says it will take 32 days):

Forum Activity Bonus (August17)     Sep 9th   $3.00   Approved

I guess someone called an audible on that play.
