Go to the Events tab just below the banner and have at it! If you sign up, you MUST send out your packages - ON TIME (if you can't for some reason you MUST let me know and let your person know as well) Sign up any number of times you wish - each ticket you submit will receive a gift (so you can enter one grey or 10 in one ticket) Package limit is $20 PLUS shipping (yes, you can spend more if you wish, but you are not obligated to) If you are shipping overseas, get your package sent early or send something from the destination country Packages MUST arrive by December 20, 2006. I suggest you have packages mailed by December 12 if you are shipping within the same country If you need to back out, let me know ASAP so I can make changes Packages can be for the greyhounds/pets or the humans You can sign up for non greys - if you are entering a non-greyhound, please indicate that in the comments Unfortunately, we are not able to match/not match based on the type of pet being entered, so it is possible you could be matched up to a non greyhound. If this is a very serious problem for you, let me know, but I won't be able to do much as I'm not going to go into the system and unmatch and rematch people by hand - leaves it far too possible for me to screw it up and somebody not get a gift PLEASE keep track of things in the events system - UPDATE it as you go I strongly suggest delivery conf and insurance if using the USPS - packages have known to be lost or missing Signups are open until Nov 30 - but can (and likely will) be closed early if the sign ups slow down greatly This list of rules can be added to... so please check back often If you have questions, please post them here so I can answer them here and others can see the answers. Now get shopping! and have I mentioned that I happen to have 25 pounds of chocolate greyhounds for human consumption sitting on my counter from Dewey that can be purchased

surfing is so much better now... I'm where I want to be before I'm even finished typing the address or clicking the link

All packages but 2 have been received. Those 2 packages are going to 2 different people Packages are from one user. User needs to contact ME and the people that are still very patiently waiting for their gifts

That's one friggen heavy server And the office is tight with all of you still running in and out of there (by the way, wipe your feet and tidy up after yourselves )

people that still have packages listed as sent have been contacted Those that are still waiting, also contacted to update their ticket if they have received it

9 packages still have not arrived according to the logs From 8 users. Please check the events system and update if you have received your package. If you see one you sent has not been recevied yet, please follow up on it.

88, 87, 97, 109, 130, 136, 137, 140, 150, 190, 199 If you send out these packages, you should check into their location. If you have receieved these packages, update your ticket. I do know that one of the above packages should be there tomorrow.

ALL packages have been mailed Looks like we are still waiting for 14 of them to arrive I'll check in again later this week to check the status of things.

5 packages still need to be sent. I know 2 of them will be sent out tomorrow... health issues have delayed that shipment.

Reminders have been sent out again. Some of you may have already shipped... but since we are working with a back up on this server, a couple days of data may not show up... so please check into the events system and make sure your packages (to and from) are current on the dev server. And if you haven't shipped. YOU NEED TO DO THAT BY TOMORROW.

Not possible to have something listed as sent, received and SS acknowledged all at once. Also, package #153 is not from or to you. ID 153 is to you and marked SS acknowledged. I don't see anything showing sent or received. which package - both of yours have been marked as received

Lori - if Jeff hasn't already looked into this yet, I'll look now And for everybody: If you haven't sent your package yet, you need to get them out by the end of the week... deadline for them to be received is Sept 1 Lori - please let me know which package numbers you've not received yet and we'll reset those. PM them to me or you can post them here

All matches have been made. The event is now closed Make sure you get your packages out on time so they arrive by Sept 1.

You send something(s) to the person who's name you are given (for them and /or their pets) for $20 plus shipping You can do that with one package or you can do that with 32 packages (good luck with that ) Package(s) need to be at their destination by the end of August. If you enter multiple times, you send out to that many different addresses

Another round of matching done

Yep

just did some more matches. Everybody should have a match now. Remember to acknowledge that in the events system

You buy a gift for the names on the response you receive. If that is 10 names, you buy a package for those 10 names (gift still totals $20). If it has 1 name, you put together a package for one name

If you see funky things, please take a screen shot and post it. Some of this we can't look at without signing up ourselves and matching us with somebody to see if we can replicate it. So, please take screen shots when you see things, it will help us identify the problem

15 packages signed up already... you guys are quick!

The Events System is now open. Check out the menu bar at the top, there is now an 'Events' link up there. Use that to sign up. We hope it is self explanatory, if not, ask away and somebody will be along to help you out. We will leave it open until August 6. Closes at midnight (GMT). Packages MUST BE IN THE MAIL by August 25 (a friday). We'd like for all pacakges to arrive to their destination by Sept 1. Oh yeah... $20 for your package limit PLUS shipping.

It is indeed under the 15k limit and pixel size limit, but it is very difficult to see the images

He is talking about issues about the policy. Contact him with policy issues. Contact mods to ASK WHY a post was edited, but complaining about the edits to a moderator won't get you anywhere.

I'm on my way to training anyway - oh yeah, and my desk is covered with work for today
