    Evening guys! Quick question, I was just wondering if I can influence my daily goals to go lower? I'm going away for a long weekend in a couple of weeks and I'll have minimal time/WIFI access to complete goal 1 for the streak. The last few days my goals have been around 100/300, so would only completing goal 1 for a couple of days before I leave reduce it? I hope I make sense! I've noticed the goals have gone up the better I've done so I hope someone can confirm it doing the opposite :D

    (I know it's stupid to be planning my SB activities when on holiday, but I really need as many SB as possible and the streak bonus is too good to lose! :o)

    It will reduce the second goal a bit, however I think it takes a lot longer of missing first goal before that one will go lower.10 days of consecutive no Sb at all last year did not reduce my first goal at all.It was still the same as everyone else's first goal when I came back, however my first search win was for 50Sb.

    Stopping earning while you are able to access the site may prove to cost you more than the lost monthly bonus in the long run? The first goal is unlikely to change and it could take a couple of weeks for the second goal to reduce.
    You will still (no matter what) get any daily bonus you have earned in the month.If you manage to get a run of 14 days you will at least get 100SB, another run of 7 days will get you 25Sb, so the maximum 'lost' wouldn't be more than about 125SB.
    Not really worthwhile reducing earnings on a daily basis while you have access for that?

    Search terms are totally random - in the past, 75%+ of the posts on this forum were people posting what they had won via search and back then it used to cause no end of arguments as to why people bothered, let alone why others thanked their posts. It used to really get on my nerves - I proved that you could literally search numbers (1, 2, 3, etc) and eventually you would get a win based on an algorithm but not on the actual search term used.


    Now, however, its only a few people who enjoy posting their search wins and it does not detract from the forum so as long as we don't go back to the bad old days, it does not really bother me and I must admit its great to hear when people get big SB search wins.

    I do apologise I didn't realise you were in charge, thank you pointing out how unwelcome I am.

    I am certain that nobody intended to make you feel unwelcome. Please don't take offence, we want to be a cheerful group, helping each other where we can. Especially more experienced members, that have been giving help for years. Richy's point is true though, you can search anything, real or made up, and eventually win SBs, so no real point in sharing.

    Mobile apps

    I have all 6 yet to do today and was wondering as I have 2 old iphones if anyone knows if I am allowed to run two apps at the same time - one on each phone?

    If its not allowed then I wont bother, but it would save a lot of time if I can :-)
