2019 Christmas Contest! WINNERS POSTED VIS VIDEO!

[Old Greenhorn]

Yes, we know the little elves do not display correcting in Chrome when you click on them. Switch to internet explorer or some other browser and you should see the proper number.

[Magicman]

Yeah, I finally found #1 !!!   Actually I was the 2nd member to successfully enter the contest, but my searching days will not be over until I find them all.  :P

[btulloh]

Me too, MM.  Even though I'm entered, I still want to find the five elves I haven't located yet. I've been to every corner of the FF universe and still haven't found them. I did find those unpaired socks that went missing from Jeff's dryer though. 


(The only reason I keep mentioning the chrome thing is to help anyone who might be having the same problem. )

[Jeff]

Read every sentence in my launch post. Most have meaning.

Has anyone actually found all ten? It is certainly possible to make it without all. Depending on which ones you have.

[Magicman]

I have two more to find; #4 and #10.  

[gspren]

I found 7 of the tricky little elves and got entered but I'm still searching. Thanks to Jeff for doing this and the sponsors for making it possible, fun and neat prizes 8). 

[Ljohnsaw]

Well, I got to the You Made It! page, got the secret message, followed the Enter Now link and entered all the data.  But, when I Send it, I get
NO data_order list SPECIFIED!
Is this a Firefox issue?  I tried both typing in the secret message and doing a cut and paste.
:'(

It goes after the "=" sign. Everything that's after the equal sign needs be deleted. Only the mystery word goes after the equal sign.

Thanks. That"s where I was putting it. It finds the forum but not the done page

[Ljohnsaw]

You are not spelling it correctly.  It did the same thing to me.  There are no numbers in the mystery word.

[Jeff]

Currently we have a technical problem. I had purchases a SSL certificate to install on the server and had planned on putting it in action after the holidays. For some reason our server host installed it somehow where it is forcing things through it that should not be forced through it yet such as that cgi form that submits the context entries to me.  I'm not sure what else is not working at the moment either. I'm surprised I can post.

[Jeff]

Back in action!

[Chuck White]

I'm in the same situation as ljohnsaw!  I solved it, and when I send it, I get NO data_order list SPECIFIED!

[Jeff]

Refresh the page or delete your cached pages for the last day. If it does not say this at the top of the form page, its the old page

<h1> You MADE IT!! NEW IMPROVED PAGE!</h1>

[Ljohnsaw]

 I made it!  Thanks Jeff and Tammy for setting this up.

Also, Merry Christmas to our Contest Sponsors Tammy and Kevin of Logrite Tools, Bluecreeper & Riteleg!

And Doc Henderson and Ray of thecfarm!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

[mad murdock]

That was awesome fun!  The hardest part was finding the message on the enter now page.  What an awesome message!  Thanks Jeff for your twisted sense of fun.  I will keep looking for all the elves. I have a few left to go. 

[Chuck White]

Whew, it worked this time!  

Finding some of the elves really made this one tough!

All in all, it was a fun contest!

Thanks and Merry Christmas to Jeff & Tammy, and all the sponsors, also thanks for the donations and participation of: Tammy and Kevin of Logrite, Bluecreeper and Riteleg, also Ray (thecfarm) and Doc Henderson! 

Merry Christmas to all!

[Magicman]

Well last night I figured out where #4 & #10 were but when I looked this morning......they weren't there.  Can't trust dreams.  :-\  Back to looking.  :

[Hilltop366]

Thanks to Jeff and Tammy Brokaw and to the Contest Sponsors Tammy and Kevin Bantle of Logrite Tools, Bluecreeper and Riteleg, Doc Henderson and Ray thecfarm!


Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

[Jeff]

I thought I give some pretty good hints. I almost took the easy way out this year. I was going to just say you had to post a Christmas photo to get registered, but a topic got started about christmas cards and presents and it sort of stole the thunder on my idea (not complaining!) Clues are where you find them.

[tylerltr450]

Jeff,

This is a good game thanks for making it!

You did a good job hiding all the keys, and thanks to all that makes this forum fun and enjoyable.

 Merry Christmas to our Contest Sponsors Tammy and Kevin Bantle of Logrite Tools Bluecreeper and Riteleg! and don't forget Doc Henderson and Ray thecfarm

[Magicman]

Yeah, I found #10 and it was exactly where it should have been !!!  I got very close to it last night but I was one click away.   :D

Now I only have #4 to find.  :P

[straincm]

I have found all but numbers 1 and 10. Magicman, you will kick yourself for missing two hints for #4. As will I, I am sure, when I figure out #1 and #10.

[Magicman]

Yeah X10 !!!  I have found them all !!!!  8)

[Wallys World]

Another fun contest! Thanks to Jeff and all of the sponsors! Great job!

[Magicman]
