Forum Post Bonus...what boards do / don't qualify?

[mom2taz]

I've earned the $3 Forum bonus in the past, but it's been a while and I forget what boards do / don't qualify.  I know that posting in the contest section does not apply toward the 30 posts a month...and I just searched around in other posts but didn't see the info....any info would be helpful.
I don't have any posts this month in contests / promotions....an have 32 posts this month...yet it says that only 24 are qualifying posts....so just trying to figure out what does and does not qualify.

thanks for any help

You're right that posts to the Contest and Promotion section do not count towards the 30 monthly qualifying posts.

The only other section that I know of that doesn't count is
"Word Chains & Countdowns
Posts in this subforum do not count towards the forum posting bonus requirement."

This is a subsection of the Off-Topics section (find it in the top 2 entries of the section)

I look at the listing of my posts using the link on the Forum Posting Bonus submission page.  I've never noticed a difference in the qualifying count shown and the actual listing of the posts when I look at them one by one. 

The detail listing shows all posts but they are numbered from your most recent.  You can check the count as of April 1 to see whether it matches the qualifying count.
