A lof of names above I recognise from the midnight crew/early birds. :)
The only time I've seen that occur in the past is when registering a guess close to midnight on the first day. There appears to be a small time frame where the maintence hasn't completed calculation for which members entitiled to double guesses for the new month, which I've previous brought up. That seems to be for at least a few minutes after midnight. I'd give 10 minutes to be sure. I''ve been caught out once before. :(
What happens from experience anyone doing a guess before the maintence has worked out the new months guess entitlement you get the regualr guess.
It's also possible some new bugs or the T&C's have been changed to extend to the top 10 for single guess and not updated.
Argh note on the first day of the month it's not wise to jump in head first. Wait for some poor suckers to test if it's safe, unless got nothing to lose. lmao
@JoLee I'm not exactly 100% certain if ended up 10th you were floating around 10th. I was curious what score 10th would end up. The modelling is around 176* - 170 for 10th for 30 days. That's just an average expected score also need to take account how many scores end up grouped, missed comps and any other bonuses. Looking around requiring 1/2 dozen points above the average i.e. 165. Which I think was about your score.
It's possible either members ticked off the link bonus late, competitions viewed or there was movement in scores above you spreading out the rankings and just pushing you out. Hmm thou I suspect you might of ended up 10th.
It be great if they displayed the leader board winners for the top 10.
Still only one guess

@Ascompet Yeh I'm fairly sure today was double guess day as I got 2 guesses as well.
If "entitled" to the bonus guess then you "should" of got 4 guesses.
Is anyone getting the bonus guesses? i.e. today 4 guesses.
It could be they've scrapped the bonus guess for everyone and forgotten to update the rules or haven't finished implementting all the new rule changes.
In the meanwhile welcome to my hell of regular guesses. The bonus there's less to do each day.
X fingers the @admin either updates the rules or fixes it up ASAP. :)
@Anna2077 Regarding 4th-50th Prize: Will gain an extra guess everyday when playing the guessing game for the following month.
If it is double guess day which I'm presuming as I got 2 guesses today, you get double what your "entitled" guesses are. i.e. if on regular guess you get two guesses, if on the extra guess you get 4 guesses today.
If that isn't the case you might need to get the attention of the @admin. It appears you've got a "few" fellow members to join you . :)
@Anna2077 Hmm it appears someone's been busy trying to thwart adblockers. Time to upgrade the arsenal with a nuke for them. That's better! God if only the ads didn't make the site so unusable. Thou on the bright side now found a better option for those in your face ads.. :)
@Anna2077 I think are referring to the concept of "frames verses the deprecated HTML Frame.
Yeah on different OS/browsers will display differently.
On the pc I haven't noticed too much change apart from a lot of white space and wasted space at the top 1/3 of the page. The could try condense that by 1/2 so can see some actual content!
I think on the ipad is displaying "frames" which looks/interacts horrid with the ads and stop usig the site on the Ipad. I haven't got around to exploring content blockers etc on the ipad. Noticably on the Ipad the ads on the site have become graffiti upsetting the layout and interaction with the site. When visiting the home page all I see on the Ipad is a page full of ads.
Last night got a banner regarding disable your adblocker on the guessing game page when using the PC. I had just a stock standard adblocker. There are methods they can be detected etc. I.e. someones added in a new script in the last day or so. Well gave me the motivation to find a better alternative. :)
Ps The ad blocking is not about not supporting the site etc but making it enjoyable and useable to actually read what little content is remaining.
@Anna2077 That's the spirit if it keeps you motivated. lmao
Usually I don't bother too much with them myself. Thou can do more then just block unwanted Ads they can block malicious sites/scripts as well reducing potient threats.
I find ads also can slow down loading of pages dramicitally. Gor one site's competitions it involves searching 1000's of pages. Every "few" seconds saved per page viewed make a difference. It also means I can have more pages open at the same time until the PC grinds to a halt or starts playing up due to low memory. When you're having pages take 10 seconds to load your patience might start getting a bit thin. Even if it's automatically set up to the browsing.
When I site "attempts" to block/hide a page from displaying until you disable the adblocker that get's my goat. I simple message would of sufficed.
It can fruitless trying to stop all adblockers, thou some are pretty simple to detect. The recent changes have highlighted you need to strike a balance with the ads displayed and still maintain reasonable functionality and enjoyment of a site.
In the end what is displayed is determined at the user end. There's only so much you can do. It's the browser/app used that determines how and what is displayed. A customised browser/app you could reformat a page however you choose.
Eg last night I thought was a good idea to try out the facebook app on the MS store. Sigh disappointing that it doesn't have an option to show top comments. It's the first thing I check for posted results on FaceBook. Using the browser by defualt get that option. Also with other browser add ins you can add extra functionality to the FB webpage. Eg more detailed display of posted times etc. etc.. Thou I think the biggest drawback of using the app I don't think there's an option to add the page to my bookmarks for helping check back on results. So that Facebook app has been quickly binned.
Now if only there was an browser addon/app that could reformat any site and reformat and change the functionality how you choose. :)
@Anna2077 I'm suprised you're getting overseas implants, dating women the can/should tailor the types of google adds dsiplayed related to the site. It probably reflects your browsing/search history. lmao. The ones I used to see were basically the same as some of the "featured" comps/ads.
@Anna2077 lmao. I wouldn't expect thouse offensives adds to appear on this site. That's the root of my point regarding offensive/inappropriate ads and another reason to block them.
I think there are options the site may provide to Google to tailour the type of ads dished out according to interest groups. From from memory the ads themselves have options not to display again and provide a reason why which taliour the ads dished out to you. If ony were options for the google ads display only for a selection of interests or don't display at all.
Looks like Facebook mobil app is going to added ads. Just what we all need to consume mobile data allowances. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-40592427
Regarding ads if you hate them so much can check out https://saveoursbs.org/ and least keep our Goveernment broadcasters free of unwanted ads. :)
@Anna2077 Your "browsing" history can determine what ads are displayed. Possibly been redirected by a site visted to an unwanted link at some point why the "browsing" is in quotes.
It could be a number of factors what ads are dished out. eg From googles perspective could who pays the most apart from your interests. :)
One forum just quickly google. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12112352 which gives some users examples regarding ads dished out. Argh I might be getting ads for adblockers if hadn't disabled them.
