Has anybody else had this problem on the Commuter award?

Can you explain what you meant? Are you saying that if a post is pulled out of the discussion (presumably by the moderators), that the member should get points for hte post? (The member would have gotten points for the posting, and I don't believe that points are deducted if a post is removed for any reason.) Or are you saying something else?

jferrara41 All-Star Author Pennsylvania Posts:598 Points:110,665 Joined:Apr 2012	Message Posted: Jun 17, 2012 1:36:53 AM Ignore jferrara41 Report Abuse I have a problem with an award. The Ironman awardstates i ve level 1 6%, but I have 46 Cosecutive days. I know I earned the Level 1 with 5 conceutive days. Is this correct, do I need to post for one consecutive year before i move to level 2. I think this is wrong because just last week (the last time I checked), it was at 86%. Thank you

Byte_Doctor Champion Author Akron Posts:3,512 Points:720,465 Joined:Apr 2011	Message Posted: Jan 17, 2012 9:02:09 PM Ignore Byte_Doctor Report Abuse RG, I'm showing 8% toward Level 4, and I should be more like 20% (I reset because I missed posting in the afternoon on one day during my vacation between Christmas and New Years). So in my case I've not been restored, but it really doesn't matter much.
Gas_Buddy Champion Author Maryland Posts:25,991 Points:3,036,990 Joined:Aug 2004	Message Posted: Jan 17, 2012 8:14:09 PM Ignore Gas_Buddy Report Abuse I haven't been able to get past the home screen for the past several days. I assume I've been zeroed out. But as plastic said, I don't normally check, in part because I don't know what the levels/standards are to move up. Using the app has simply been a way I can post prices along one stretch of road that I might not otherwise post, if I had to post on my regular computer.

You may be able to do things at once, one of them being maneuvering a several thousand pound car while holding a several ounce phone, but you might want to take the high road and let us assume you're at least concentrating on the moving car rather than on the hand-held device. Deal with us assuming where your priorities are, rather than letting us know one of your driving priorities is overcoming problems with "awards". Or, maybe it's just me that can't deal with it.

RichWLIN Champion Author Indiana Posts:4,112 Points:641,790 Joined:Jun 2011	Message Posted: Jan 14, 2012 11:16:20 AM Ignore RichWLIN Report Abuse P.S. I'm expecting another unwarranted reset today. I just returned from the gas station where I reported prices. My Commuter Award did not advance with the Iron Man as it normally does even though I posted nearly 50 prices in each the AM and PM yesterday, and have just reported 14 prices this morning. It seems we still have an issue. RG
RichWLIN Champion Author Indiana Posts:4,112 Points:641,790 Joined:Jun 2011	Message Posted: Jan 14, 2012 10:14:50 AM Ignore RichWLIN Report Abuse Here's the response from support: Hello RichWLIN, Thanks for the message. There is a known issue with the commuter award and many users have experienced a reset. Our development team has been made aware and are working on getting this resolved. Unfortunately, at this time we cannot place the progression back to where it was, nor do we know if we will be able to. Sorry for any inconvenience. Regards, DH [Edited by: RichWLIN at 1/14/2012 10:15:27 AM EST]
Coben All-Star Author York Posts:688 Points:290,330 Joined:Apr 2011	Message Posted: Jan 14, 2012 10:10:12 AM Ignore Coben Report Abuse I am having problems also with several of the "awards" Some of it might be the distance from the station. I can see a price and wait until I get down the road to an area that has no traffic to put them in my cell phone. (Yes I enter the price text while driving, I can do two things at once, deal with it!)

But I am sure they are looking into this problem vs. doing anything to improve the main web site. Since the moble apps is were all their dedication is any more.
