MNO Challenge

[Spinach]

The new challenge will consist of 3 tasks.

#1 Find the misspelled word, this word will not be in any posts/threads but in a place that only administrators can change. All members can view this misspelled word. It t is located on a page in this site as part of the theme.

#2 Find the hidden link with a special message. (copy & paste it here)

#3 Have at least 10 NEW quality posts in the forums.

This challenge is only open to general members.

The winner should post the answers to the first 2 tasks in this thread, task #2 has a special message that needs to be copied and pasted in this thread.

I will donate a brand new popup RV/camper/fish house antenna for this weeks challenge. Original cost was $75.

Here is a little more about the RV antenna...

Pop-up T.V. Antenna
*ITEM #: POPTV
*Easy installation
*Mounts to outside wall of Ice Fishing House
*Great reception
*Compact, lightweight
*Easy up and down
*Includes all mounting hardware and cable

Good luck everyone!

maybe i mis-read this, but if the mis-spelled word is located in an area that only administrators can access, that would automaticly rule out the general members to whom this challenge is geared towards????

secondly, if you want them to locate mispelled werds, you better get a bigger server. this place is gonna be busy.

can you clarify this for me?

[Spinach]

The misspelled word is in a place that only administrators can access, ALL members can view this word.

For example: This word is not in a certain thread or post, it is a word that is part of a page or area on the site.

Does this make sense?

[jigglestick]

no

[Spinach]

Trust me it is in a spot that all members can view.

I sent you a pm.

[Mayfly]

Actually once you get to the page it sticks out like a sore thumb.

[Spinach]

Todays hint.... The misspelled word sticks out like a sore thumb as of today.

All you have to do is find the misspelled word, find the hidden link with a special message, and post 10 times in the forums to win the prize.

Good luck

[Spinach]

I cant believe noone has claimed the prize yet? This challenge is a lot easier than last weeks.

[jigglestick]

Hmmm, i just got to looking at the date and it has been a while since anyone has posted here.
lets finish this MNO challenge and let someone claim the prize.
the answer is in the past. the prize lay just ahead.

[Spinach]

Wow,

What a nice clue from Jigglestick to start off a wonderful Tuesday morning.

I believe there are 2-3 clues in this thread, if someone takes the time to read them again, i'm sure we will have a winner in the next day or so.

Good luck!

Scott,

Yes you did find the misspelled word, I will give you the post requirements, now ou have to post the winning phrase for the hidden link into this thread.

As far as the 10 posts requirement, I meant 10 new quality posts between May 8th and the day someone wins. I see you have 42 posts allready, so i'll let you have task #3.

Complete task #2 and you are the winner, I hope no one beats you too it. Being that you gave away task #1 allready.

[ScottPugh]

This one (from the original missing link game)?

"You can make excuses, or you can fish until you don't need any"

[ScottPugh]

Or this one...

4 more days....

[Spinach]

Thats not it either. There is a hidden link or message somewhere on the site. For example: Say you click on something on the site and you expect it to link you to your designated area, but a special message appears and says "congratulations you are the winner" along with a special phrase that you need to post in this thread.

This is the last hint we will be giving, Good Luck.

You'll understand this when you find the hidden link, it will all make sense to you.

[JohnWester]

i found it, but i cheated and searched the source code.  i figured it was something like that, very clever.

[Ryan]

Here is another clue.  The hidden link is not in the forums area.  If you look north one page is a little different.

Hopefully you find it soon because I need to make a change where the link is located.

[Spinach]

Here is another clue for today. I know I said we wouldn't be giving any more clues, but i believe a few of you are very close, and I'd like to see someone claim the prize.

Here you go......

"It floats"

[ScottPugh]

I guess it does payoff to not get any work done at work...  I swear I clicked on the bobber (in the logo) before this, now I refreshed the page and it works now...

Misspelling - Minnisota Fishing Opener in the calendar on May 13th.
