Cool GTX
@ Punchy
Not working correctly
Your Link goes to 2016 --> http://drougnor.bplaced.net/picker/tzc2016.html
I've tried twice - Selecting the top two GPUs --> but this is what comes up
CoolGTX has entered prize selections 2 time(s)
Choice 1 is Tomb Raider Steam Code donated by AcesofDeath7 with shipping Worldwide
Choice 2 is donated by with shipping
Win7 and firefox 57.0.2 (64-bit)
Testing this link --> http://drougnor.bplaced.net/picker/tzc2017.html
@ Punchy --> My link http://drougnor.bplaced.net/picker/tzc2017.html worked as it should, confirmed choice looks good
Same thing here
The hazards of copy/paste from an old post. The text link was correct, the actual link was to last year's page. Thanks for finding that.

If anyone has a few minutes, please give this year's prize picker tool a try before it goes into production. In particular, if you're a prize donor, make sure everything is listed correctly. It may not work with all browsers, and I know it won't work with most mobile devices.
1. Enter your preferences at http://drougnor.bplaced.net/picker/tzc2017.html
2. Spell your name exactly like it appears in the contestants list on the TZC page (unless there are spaces in your forum name, in which case enter CoolGTX)
3. Confirm that your preferences have been entered correctly by visiting http://drougnor.bplaced.n..icker/checkchoices.html
Seemed to work okay for me. Is this done or are you still testing?

Tried that first. Then scarlet_tech, then scarlet-tech. Not seeming to have luck. If someone else gets the prizes, I will not cry or be upset. There are some awesome people that deserve awesome prizes. *Corrected in the next post*

when entering, I used my phone, which Auto-caps the T in "the_" I never capitalize the t, since it doesn't match my forum name now, lol. Lesson learned. Prepare for me to make the same mistake next year. I forgot that this thing was so case sensitive that one uncaps letter means that it doesn't exist as a possible character, lol. All taken care of, thanks DutchForce. Punchy

Yeah, sorry it wasn't made clear, I entered my forum name first, and then went through the folding names. Unfortunately, the system is case sensitive, and my phone capitalized the T in the "the_" which I never do, so I didn't think about it. All good now, thanks to DutchForce :-)

Technology will get you every time, whether it's case sensitivity or auto-capitalization. The full version of the prize picker instructions which will get posted later always emphasize to use the forum name exactly as it's entered on the contestants page, because that's the list that the tool works from. I thought I had made it case-insensitive but I guess I decided it wasn't worth the effort for a tool that gets used once a year.

You’ve done great, and I wouldn’t worry about it as it is an easy fix. I had to ask the same question last year because of my phone doing the same thing. It’s not a earth shattering thing that causes a major issue, just a minor hiccup. :-) Again, thank you guys for everything you put into this every year.

Oh, I DID clear 400M, sometime last night, just not in the CONTEST sense. *laughs* I was personally pushing into the next higher classification as I was so close by the time the contest ended.

I noticed that too, as my noon update looked a bit light with only 4 wu, 3 hours later got a nice update with 10 wu. Perhaps the janitor was dusting the servers again?
