I'm sorry about the PM feature raist00. I know it's a pain. Thanks for your prize pick reply. You make some good points, too.  

Congrats to the winners, and thanks to everyone that donated gifts for the contest!
 
I don't drink coffee and I own Metro already, so I'm gonna take a pass in advance! Cheers

I don't think web pages store your log in, I do believe it is in the cookies stored on your drive.
Every time I clear all cookies I have to log into every site I go to even though I check the keep me logged in box
Maybe delete the cookie after you're done and see if that works for you.
Though you should not have to if the box is not checked.
Or just to make sure hit the log out button up in the right hand corner, I always do that after I am done with some sites.

Yes, the login info is stored in the cookies, not the site itself.  However through things like CSRF, XSS, or even a shared Wifi network, it's possible to obtain/use cookies to impersonate a user. It's not uncommon for me to have login problems on site; I block Java, Flash, javascript, first and third party cookies by default.  To log in, I often have to whitelist or temporarily allow a site but the it works.  Not recognizing login information after logging in is a common symptom of blocked cookies and a locked down browser cache. When the typical fixes didn't work on EVGA, I spent a lot of time disabling addons and reverting settings to make sure that they weren't interfering.  Part of my furor was towards myself for the wasted time going in the wrong direction trying to debug the problem.  It was tempered by rage at the poor design that created the conflicting information.  My main gripe is the lack of feedback that led me down that path.  On EVGA, I suspect the problem is narrowly scoped sub-domains; forums.evga.com can't access anything on ᴡᴡᴡ.ᴇᴠɢᴀ.ᴄᴏᴍ.  When logging in from the forums, it redirects to main site, the main site can read the login data, so it redirects back to the orignial page.  The forums can't read the user data so appear as not logged in.  At this point, there's nothing you can do from the forums to fix the problem; you have to go back to the main site, logout and login again with the box checked. There's nothing to indicate that those are the right steps to fix the issue.  It wouldn't be too difficult to add an intermediary redirect after login on the forums subdomain that verifies that the necessary cookies are present. If they are, it redirects on to the originating page and if not, it shows an alert.  As a general design principle, if it's possible to completely break something by changing a setting, either the setting shouldn't be there, or there should be immediate feedback that the setting should be changed when attempting the action that the setting prevents.

I apologize for my post.  It came in a moment of extreme frustration and was frankly inappropriate.

Well, I'm the mug guy... Not sure why you're not able to PM... (I hate reading rules) but Notfordman will help ya  out and let me know what I need to do. 
 

What didt the prize from zophar end up being?

I don't know... that whole poached egg thing was really on the top of my list! 

On top of being a stats pimp, I DO know my way around a kitchen. For someone who can't eat eggs as a primary ingredient, I've been told I cook a mean egg. I may need to figure this poached egg thing out and share the secret . . . As long as I can find someone willing to eat my practice runs.

Yoos guys are pretty funny!  Thanks for donating zophar. Those "mystery" prizes can get interesting. We are down to the 970 backplate on the prize list. Serving tank1023

i think i have the rig running right with the gtx 970 and 290x in one 507,156 ppd give or take so new total is 1,400,000 ppd till i have the power to add the last amd card .the 970 will only work with 2 of my dvi cords out of 5 that i have same as the 290x's

Not bad, I can maybe get 400K PPD on my Two AMD R2 290X Cards.

I have shipped out all mugs, they should be in the hands of everyone soon except those faced with customs/duties stops.  Sorry!

Alrighty folding family, all prizes have been awarded. I want to give a great big thank you to the organizers, Troy, Sajinor, DutchForce, and of course stat master Drougnor! Our very generous donors, you know who you are. And definitely all of our team participants! I hope we can do this again before the heat of spring /summer come. Thanks everyone!!!

Thank you all for all the background work and the set up stuff.  It's not easy running these things.  You are all an admirable group of nuts.  I salute you!

Got the mug in the mail today!  Thank you, Viper97.
 
Very nice!
 
Great job everyone!!

If the target goal for 2016 is 600 million and Pacific is generating 9 million points per day, the contest should run for approximately two months. Is there some way for Pacific to recruit at this late date?
