    Yes, it will be interesting to see the pattern of targets.

    But could I respectfully ask everyone not to post throughout the month, but at the end when the statistical info will be a fuller picture? Otherwise lots of us find ourselves alerted to lots of new posts that don't need immediate action, not like an Instant Survey or similar. No criticism implied or intended, just trying to make the thread user friendly and time saving. Many thanks. :)
  • My guess based on my own experience is that bonus targets are based somewhat on your past months numbers or at least your recent figures. My targets for January so far have been considerably lower than those in December and I attribute this to doing far less on SB over the holidays than I did in the run up to them in November.

    When you don't reach your targets for a couple of weeks (the second goal I'm talking about here) you will notice them drop dramatically.

    Agreed. As I've mentioned before I seldom even try for the second target and it has rarely been above 130 over the last 4 or 5 months. Today it is a paltry 100 so I will go for this one!

    You also need to keep a record of how many SB's you earn each day on the same line for it to show a meaningful pattern.

    Apologies if this is known info, but you don't have to wait for the end of January to get a month snapshot. If you click on your daily goal, there's a little calendar icon in the top right next to the current date. Click on that and you get a calendar view of your goals/points. You can go back to past months - click on each date and it'll show you what you earned, what your first goal was, and what your second goal was (and whether you met one/both of them).

    (Just in case anyone wants the info now/for past months rather than January 2016.)

    I've mostly been appending the log on posts I'm making anyway, so if I make sure to only do that in future, it shouldn't add to the new post alerts.

    Good point! I'll start doing that from tomorrow!

    Ugh... that calendar! It is so hard to use, and became worse when they added that banner at the bottom about December's bonuses! It doesn't want to stay open long enough to click on the calendar! But yes, if someone wanted to fight the interface (or had better luck with it than I do) they could go back and get their old numbers.

    That's what I was coming here to post. :o



    Also, is anyone else having problems with SBTV on the mobile (iOS specifically)? It plays a few videos, maybe earns 2sb, maybe not, then it goes black. I give it a while, but if it doesn't pick up again after 5+ minutes, I quit out the app and restart it. Then it's all happy to see me and lets me start earning like nothing was wrong. Any ideas? :(
