Im trying to fill out paid to post. they say I have 23 and I have 34.

contest and promotion are not count toward 30 posts/month, but they are good to read, very beneficial.  If you think you should have 34 posts with no mistake then you need go support ticket ....good luck

next time do post on first week of the month so if anything goes wrong, you still have time.

Try to keep track during the month so that you know how many more you need. It is difficult if you wait until the end and try to post a lot. Consistency is the key.

the word games and number count posts don't count towards the forum post bonus ;
you should check how many eligible posts you have every once in a while so you know how much you need..

Like everyone said before, not all posts count.  Also, are you sure all the posts were in the same month? 

[minkatrozic]

Yes you have to go to your statistics page and find out how many qualifying posts you have before you request bonus. Just look around and get to know this website better and you will find your answer. You gone have to wait until you have 30 posts that they actually accept and than you can request your $. Good luck.

I have never had a problem with this. You can keep track of your posts every few days by clicking on paid to post, this way you can make sure to reach your goal each month.

It only counts for a particular month.  So, it counts the posts in February exclusive of the posts in March.

I had something similar happen, I had enough good posts however . . . . I found upon inspection that some of the topics I had interacted in were erroneously started in the wrong category under contests and promotions like word games, etc.  So they automatically were not counted as valid posts for the forum bonus count.  So now I try to pay attention where the topics are started - what category they are in like this one is started in the discussion boards under Payments.  Even if valid topic discussion, if it is in the wrong category of contests and promotions it will not be counted.

Hi,
You will only get the forum bonus if you have 30 contributory posts.  You will not get the forum bonus by having over 30 posts.  Does that answer your question?

[cwillard1]

yeah keep posting until you get to 30 and then send.  Then send a ticket to support on the issue.
