We are fast approaching 3,000,000 posts in our database!

To mark this occasion, we are offering a $50 Amazon gift voucher to the member who puts up post 3,000,000

As an extra incentive, if we reach this milestone before January 1, we will also donate $100 to the animal shelter of the choice of the member who makes post 3,000,001

The post has to be in line with our forum rules and published outside the mods-only forum. Should post #3,000,000 be any different, the prize will go to the the member who makes the next eligible post.

If you look at this post, in the top right hand corner of the post, it will say #1, with the 1 being in blue. You can either hover over it, or click on it, and at the end of the link, it will have p=2969768. This is what post number we're up to.

So we need 30,232 more posts to reach the goal! With some big holidays coming up, and people being rugged up in front of their computers keeping warm (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), I think we can do it before January 1!

So get posting, and start thinking about how you will spend YOUR prize

Great contest idea. The number thing doesn't seem to be working for me. I see the #1 at the top of the message, but when I click on it, it just opens the single message in a new window, not showing any numbers. Maybe it's my computer.

Yep, you need to look in the address bar - it will say http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...68&postcount=1. It's the p=2969768 part that you want to look at. When you're reading a new post, it will also have the post number (p=xxx), or the thread number (t=xxx) in the link in the address bar. It's the p= number that you're looking for

Okay, now I see it. I was looking in the wrong place.

Update: The person who posts #3,000,000 gets a $50 Amazon voucher! If you are in a country where you cannot access Amazon, or they won't ship to you, we'll figure something out for you

Oh wow! What a great prize! I love Amazon, everything is so much cheaper there. We buy things from Amazon about twice a month or so, that money would be great for us
Good luck everyone!

Jackz, Jazzy & Ginga.

Wow! I remember the last time there was some kind of contest like this. I was on when we reached it; it went to a member who wasn't even paying attention to the post count!
