+1 to keeping the accumulated points system.

What will happen with the points system after 26th of February?

The accumulated points feature will be removed.
One of the original and great features of FBL was that you didn't lose your points on rollover for new week, unlike ALN where you forfeit your unused points daily. Unused points accumulated to a set maximum of your allowed weekly points. So if you had enough domains in the system to earn 300 points a week and only used say 200 of those, then the unused 100 would be added to the following week. This was capped to 3 x times your points allowance so would be 900 points in this example.
Having accumulated points allows service providers and individuals to smooth out high & low weeks, that's the real beauty of them

the problem with the accumulation points system is that we could not identify the bug...
some users got correct points...
but some users got max points always...

like this week, most of the user refreshed at 3 times their points...

we would like to keep it also but the problem is that we could not fixed the bug..

Thanks for clarification... but it doesn't seem big problem from my perspective, though I'm a person who is not a service provider.

Well it's a bug worth finding and squashing.. perhaps try a new approach?
Also really want to see ALN style video embedding. If they can do it, then there must be away to do it with FBL.

I hope you guys can find a way to fix that bug as well. Please don't just give up on the points accumulation. Like others, I use the accumulated points when I have a few extra jobs I need to do and it's great to be able to let the points accumulate when I don't have as many submissions on a given day or in a given week.

The points accumulation is one of the biggest benefits of FBL over other blog networks in my opinion. Having the points expire at the end of a week is still better than letting them expire daily but I really like the 3 week max on the roll over and I hope you guys can find a way to bring it back. Please don't let it die.

A small bug I've noticed.

When submitting an article and you have it set to multiple "submission times", if you click submit and then there is an error (bad word used etc) it automatically resets back to "1".

I've then fixed the error and clicked submit only to realise that it's only going to be submitted once, rather than what I had initially selected.

I have fixed it, thanks a lot!

Also unchecks the "Make Bold" options if you had them set too

Fixed that too, thanks a lot!

Feature Request: If a submission batch hasn't yet started posting, allow scheduling in edit mode. Reason? I'm continually (accidentally) hitting submit, without first checking the "Schedule" box when making multiple submissions. And that means to schedule those posts I need to delete them and re-do. A waste of points & time.

Added that too. Thanks a lot for your suggestion!

Best regards
FBL Team!

Hi guys,

Usually it takes 1-6hrs to approve a blog..

If the blog was not approved within 24 hrs, it means that the blog did not follow the add blog instructions...
