Yup That Works David...What i realised now is thatDavidP wrote:Thanks Sandeep! Glad to have you on board. When I was writing all the code for the competition, I spent a lot of time thinking about all the things that could happen because we wanted to prevent gaming as much as possible. As a former hacker, I'm a bit familiar with these kinds of things. Looks like you discovered one of our little counter measures...
Thanks also for sharing the bug report. I'll take a look into it. I think I may know the bug that you're talking about because I just discovered it while trying to log in this morning. But can you please help me confirm it?

Hi sorter,sorter wrote:I'm a facebook noob and I don't really understand how this works. Do I earn points by using these forums, or only by doing things on facebook? Also, how/what do I "like" in order to earn points? It shows I have 0 points - so what do I need to "like" to use my "likes" -- does anyone else realize how ridiculous all that sounds?
when i first told my wife about this competition, she also said, what does it mean to "like"? Thanx david!!But i hope i am able to see those 3 missing posts in my liking area?did u post 5 more posts after that 1st round of 5 post set?or only 2 posts comparisons and money9111DavidP wrote:@sorter, your question isn't ridiculous at all! the entire beat the gmat team is currently living and breathing facebook apis and such. and so we sometimes forget that there are a lot of people who aren't as technogeeky as us.
anyhow, here's the info that you're looking for: in order to "like," you need to click the little icon of the "thumb" that is below each signpost. once you do that, then you will get points.
@sandeep, thanks for the suggestion. you're right. we don't have enough guidance on where to look and where not to look for signposts. will be updating things today.
please help if possible.... so i find out a shortcut for myself....U can check my points i have cracked the likes and 3 bonuses too ,only 1 like left which i think is yet to be posted!!!at least do tell if that 1 like is yet to come or already there?
