Oh I see...I thought they weren't really necessary because if you hover your mouse over the link, it shows part of the description which is really useful.
the bots and the visitors read the byline. this is how we give the page content and help the visitor make up his/her mine to enter that area. With that been said, I have seen the same link in the same group, with the same content place a few times by the same poster, and i do mean 2-3 times for more than six links so far. As i am placing the bylines I am removing duplicate links.
keep your pants on, while i add the bylines seen that you did not do it. As it stands right now, you did not meet the requirements for the cash prize for this contest. even so you are still in third place going by who meet the requirements. Here is the line up as i see it. sdmnlw made the less post but she fill out all the require information, totalsweetness because he/she made the most post but did not fill out all the require information, charley simply because you are the only one that is left. But if you read the first post you will see what was required and if you did not understand you could have asked. Do to the fat that I am not an A$$, I will give the prizes in the order that i mention, but i will not do so until i fix each post that was made. Charley, It is not cool to add the same information more than once, It is because of this that it is taking so long. I am not even sure that you made the necessary post.
Sdmnlw made only 13 posts from the day of the 2nd contest. The min requirement to win the contest was 100 posts. Totalsweetness had 248 posts and now reduced to 154 posts. I am on 125 posts since, so wouldnt I be on the 2nd prize list ? My post count at the end of the contest was 125 and still remains the same. But total sweetness had 248 posts and it was reduced to 154 now. Anyway you are the contest organiser, it's all in your hands. I just made my comments, that's all. BTW, have to mention this contest was really fun, enjoyed every bit of it
