Hi,

Guys , guys .... We don't want to have problems , so please do not copy - paste articles from other blogs . Thank you .

1. When the promo is simple ( ie licence acquisition is simple ) give us a link to each :
- Promo page ;
- Download page .
( An example ----> Here ; I used images instead of text. )
( Another example ----> Here ; Image + Text . )

2. If the license getting is complicated ( require multiple steps ) :
- Give us a link to Promo page and Download page ;
- Describe the steps to get the license ( Describe the steps to be taken in order to receive the license ) .

Describe the steps to obtain the license in your own words .

( An example ----> Here ; I used images instead of text . )
( Another example ----> Here ; Only text . )
( Another example ----> Here or Here ; Text + Images . )

Best regards !

PS. BTW :

1. Please do not send us to read about a promotion elsewhere ..... I mean .... on other pages / blogs . Describe the steps to obtain license here , in this Forum .... in the thread that you opened .

Hi,

I guess that most of you before post something in ''Freebies!'' didn't perform / make a search . ( Just take a look ----> Here )

Let's see how you can make a search without being logged into the Forum .

( I think the pictures below are quite explicit / clear . )

Step 1

Locate the search button :




Step 2

Write what you want to search and press ''Search'' :




Step 3

Enter captcha code and press ''Search Now'' :




Step 4

Search results appeared .

1. Now check if the promo is posted or not .
2. Open the thread / threads which seems similar to what you want to post and check the links from it / from them .



Best regards !

PS. However, remember one of Murphy's Lotto Laws :

''You check the paper and find that you have all six numbers, but then you find the newspaper misprinted two of the numbers.''

Hi,

Guys , to avoid confusion and double posts I have a request:

Please do not open any thread faster than 1 day prior to Promo / Giveaway / Contest / .... .

( Yes , yes .... I know Murphy's Law of Thermodynamics ----> ''Things get worse under pressure.'' .... but this isn't ''pressure'' , it is only a friendly request . )

Example ----> If the Promo begins on seven ( 07.October.2011 ) then ----> the thread can be opened on six ( 06.October.2011 ) .

Thank you for your understanding and I wish you Good luck in Giveaways / Contests / .... .

Best regards !

PS. A real exampe ----> Read here about a promotion that will take place soon .
