Happy Hours FAQs

Do the mods take a screenshot- so if one wants to edit/change a pic, tab kya hoga? 

*though it's a nice initiative :) *

Yes, they take a screen shot. And As mentioned by Renie before in one of the posts I read: they will check for the changes/differences.

SR You have wp site, right? Check your server logs and see if screenshots are taken. 

 I'll shift to wordpress this year. 

blogger. :P So if i change a pic/words will it be rejected?

Yes most definitely I guess, because what if I submitted a blank post? :P

No no, for making edits. Though even i had the blank post idea once, but what if someone finds an error or gets a notice that their pic is infringing a copyright? Then can they change? 

gets a notice that their pic is infringing a copyright

Why do you use copyrighted images? SR baby did a bad thing, bad thing. 

Mostly in every copyright infringement - they give a particular period of grace to rectify the mistake, so no problem!

I did not infringe, but yestereday forgot to change that scuba diving pic before i submitted- after i did it, i slammed my hand on my forehead and thought, oh no, ye voucher to gaya haath se, then changed it thinking that it might still work. I did not infringe a copyright for blog though i might have done that before 

So, will it be rejected? You never answered that 

Lets see, if you get your voucher, we will get the conclusion! :)

Well apparently they give vouchers if one edits 

Haha so now we know the answer :)

Good job dear TS.

But let me know how to submit number 1 .

I don't always submit first :P

I think this is wrong image. You won't get that question mark when you are submitting on time 

IndiPolice?

Indipolice??

Yes, that's just for Reference. I did not remove that img in Inspect element. Anyways, its just to show.

I am never able to submit in one go. it always shows some page error.

Only after 2-3 tries my entry gets submitted. And that's the reason I get late whenever number of vouchers are only 100.

Can someone give some good tips to resolve this problem. Thanks in Advance :)

Yes, to refresh is the key and leave it. Don't go on refreshing continuous if you feel your internet is slow, do it a particular time interval. 

Moreover - Try keeping the Post Title, Url and Description ready before submission.

If your internet is really slow - make sure you don't open too many other tabs because speed is then reduced.

Thanks Tanishq,

I do try these points, I keep Title, Url and Description ready before submission.

but I have noticed one more thing that the submit now button appears after 30-40 seconds of the submission time. Have you or anyone else also faced this?

Shweta, I guess, that's because it gets activated according to the IndiBlogger server's time and not as per the times of our computers.

Good work Tanishq. Now we need to request the IndiTeam to make this thread sticky :D

Thankyou Cyberkid! 

Yes, I think someone from Indipolice.can do it right? :)

No, only Renie can do it.

Oh, so he ll read it,  then he might do :)

DS, can you do it? :)

Yes, I did!

I did.

There is a difference between being able to do it and doing it. If I am am angry on someone, I can bring their site down, (if it is not a blogger/wp.com site) but won't.

TS (y) Good job man!

Thanks a lot Arunima! :)

In my last post, I changed one small typo after I had submitted!Does that mean, ye vouchers gaye haath se? :( 

Small typos are perfectly fine! :)

I hope they are!

I see 166 coupons are left ... when I had submitted... the counter was at 40... fingers crossed!!

Yes no problem, they ll be fine. 

I submitted correctly but went to indivine..Im sure it is not my mistake..

Hi, I did hear that couple of people saying that thing happened. A few of them has messaged Indiblogger, you might do so too. They can revert back on confirmation. But be sure that you submitted on HH page only, Like I mentioned above and not on Indivine page?

HI Renie, if possible, can this thread be made sticky?

Very helpful information in one thread, Tanishq! I am sure it will be really helpful for HH beginners. 

Thankyou Ritu, I hope so too :)

There has been some change for the better surely .Earlier I had to keep refreshing and my submission would take at least 3 mins now I am able to submit in one go without refreshing under 1 minute .So something has def been upgraded not my internet connection though that remains the same .I am now truely Happy .

Yes, we have got Indiblogger to thanks (or perhaps many bloggers who stopped trying?), whatever, things have been pretty smooth since last two HH :)

The server problem is actually Internet Problem at the user's end. Earlier I think even Indi was unsure of such response but now they have made some ammends for sure. Now whoever comes across reloading problem (which sometimes includes me too) it is entirely Slow Internet Problem.

Tanishqq, I wonder what happens to those who raise a ticket regarding the HH. Has it ever happened that a rejected entry won something? 

Yes. Few times, the entries were rejected by mistake and after raising a ticket, they got their vouchers.

Yes, as Ranjith said, it has happened. For example, there were couple of contests where a voucher were increased by 1. 

Rennie can only confirm on amendment or any changes on server capacity. I must say I have not seen any improved performance in last 2 HH's except the "Pamper " one .But I agree that slow internet at user end is also one of the reason for page not loading or responding !!

yea...its majorly slow internet on user side. for eg...when my net is at whiz phase ( i.e its 3g speed expires and normal speed sets in ), my net is terribly slow and i had lot of problems submitting in almost all hh......but right now its currently at plus phase ( i.e 3g speed ), so i could submit easily. once it goes back to whiz phase again my net would go very slow :s

Its actually a combination or a better used phase, "Timing" for both the server dislodgement and sending/receiving packet data at your end.

Yes. And it also depends on whether you already have a TCP connection open or a new one needs to be opened. 

Another question. Dabur HH was reopened after some time. So what happenned to those queued entires, which didn't get any voucher when the voucher stream dried up. Did they get a chance? Or were their entries gone forever? 

If they did get a chance, were their entries auto submitted or did they have to submit again? 

I think they were auto submitted. 

I think - the entries' shot were re-opened and new 100 entries were chosen. That is, I remember, I observed.

Anyways, Renie can answer it better.

If new entries were chosen then did those who saw their entries waiting in the mod list get any chance? Because one entry per campaign. Accepted Rejected or Waitlisted, doesn't matter. 

The waitlisted ones would not have been accepted and hence, there was a chance to re-submit it.

Hi Tarun,

I just had some badaams and realized that there were no queued entries for Dabur as there were 400 vouchers, and if there were, they were less than 5 queued entries, in that case they were auto-submitted for the next 100 vouchers.

haha. Thanks badaam boy. Need to eat some myself too. This thread is good. Might as well be made sticky, if it is not already. 

Hopefully, It doesn't appear in Important yet!

HELP!! my indistats show mine as 0 submissions, whereas i did post in time!
