Hey, no big deal but my day 2 Mertens Pick is missing from the picks and results summary.
Cheers
Not coming down on you, but to explain.
Our parser picks your posts in two fashions:
1. Your LAST post of the topic as long as it is
2. Less than 100 characters long.
You posted a last comment that was complimentary of Megan's job, but it was less than 100 characters long. So, your Mertens post was lost in the parsing.
Why 100 characters? Because some of our members post via Tapatalk, and those posts come with a tag (posted from my phone via Tapatalk) that makes them about 80-90 characters long. So, we still need to pick those posts and THEN filter the gibberish that gets attached by Tapatalk.
Not picking on you, Naughty. But that is the reason we tell our members: post ONLY the last name. Our contest staff do their best, but they need to still do a lot of manual quality control.
