To get in a better mood after the recent service issue, here is another contest! 
The purpose of the contest is to improve the ultraguest.com free guestbook service and now you can help. Here are the rules:
- Bugs are reported using our bug tracker system (you may need to create an account in our forum)
- The first person to create a new issue is paid the following to their paypal account:
- $10 for each major bug (functionality bugs and errors)
- $5 for each minor bug (design, browser issues, usability etc)
- $2 for each spelling mistake in on the front page, other ultraguest pages, and in the control panel. Spelling mistakes in guestbook posts are not a part of the contest
- $1for spelling mistakes in this blog and in forum posts by me (Andreas)
- To get a refund you need to either register at the forum with your paypal e-mail, or send me a private message in the forum to the paypal e-mail you would like to get paid
- Duration: starting August 20 (today) and ending on December 31 this year.
As you can see from the first contest, the winner got paid $25. This time however, there can be as many winners as there are bugs.

@Raghav: Thanks for your comment. I will have to look into this issue a bit further. I’m not able to reproduce it myself (I get notifications sent to my Gmail account daily), but other users have indicated the same issue over the past 5-10 days. Given that I’m able to confirm this I will send you $10 by the end of next week. I’ve put this issue in the bug tracking system:

@Raghav: Issue has been confirmed and fixed. You will have $10 sent to your email in a few minutes. This issue was caused when a user chose to approve new messages AND to be notified about new messages (!!). Not very logical at all, my bad. Again, thanks for reporting this!

One More Problem I Found Out. Don’t know if it is real big or small? when ever i check for the DATE & TIME under SETTINGS column, it shows a different time zone than i specified.
if i change it back to my time zone. it will get updated but the clock will be displaying time which is one hour ahead of me.
Ex: Actual Indian Standard Time now is: 1:19Am. if i update to Indian Standard time. it will be showing as 2:19Am.
one bug.
Second bug. what ever time zone i am selecting. instead of saving that. it saves the time zone which is above that….
EX: i selected Delhi(GMT + 5:30hrs)…. but it is saving to Tashkent(GMT +5:00hrs).
this is my second bug.
so two bugs for you to solve
All the very best.
Keep In Touch.
& Yes.
thanks for the 10USD you have sent me. i am thankful to you.

Hello Andreas,
Nice to see you with your new contest. I was eagerly waiting for informing you a bug. I’m Now in my college. so I can’t access my mail from here. Please give me 2 weeks for register in the bug tracker system. Because I can’t verify the mail right now. So please….
You need to include the “Bad word listing” in the Guest Book. So many people will get benefit from it. So take care about that. Also not receiving the guest entry notification mail as informed by the previous user. Please re-upload and insert the “tick” sign Picture in the Home page of UltraGustbook.com. It’s not visible….
Thanks

Hello Andreas,
It’s better to include bad word listing in the Guest book entry. It will prevent the Bad entry. Most of the users looking for this too. So kindly include this one also. And the email notifications also not working. Plz check it too. Try to resize the “Tick” image on the home page of UltraGuestbook .com

Hey Andreas ..!!! What about my comments…? Is it O.K……..?
Paypal: jills0123@yahoo.com

@Raghav: Again, thanks for your feedback. I’ll get back to you soon.
@Jilson Thomas: Thanks for comment. However, it’s really not a bug (an error in the system), but a feature request. I’m afraid only bugs are a part of this “contest.” If you’re looking for some easy money you should look for spelling mistakes. Since I’m not a native English speaker there should be plenty of them

I’m a web designer too. May I submit a home page and a favicon for our site….?
Take that only if you liked it. OK…?

I have found some spelling mistakes in your posts.
“How UltraGuest got started” Page
1. In One sentence I found “parents” But It’s “Parent’s” For that Occasion.
2. “but friend of mine for Germany had his fathers credit card” ( not “Fathers” but “Father’s” )
3. “300 employes” Change it to “300 employees”.
4. “running in the forrest” Change it to “running in the forest” .

I can’t Find the Comments Which I have submitted. I have submitted almost 15 Spelling mistakes. Please check the bug tracker system. I have Submitted there too.
September 7, 2008 at 5:16 am
Some Spelling mistakes I Found.
1. In the Home Page:
23 different languagues But the real spelling is 23 different languages ( not the spelling of languages).
2. Timezones ( You need a space between “Time” and “Zones”) ( also in Features Page).
3. GuestMap ( You need a space in between “Guest” and “Map”)
In the “Spam Protection Link”
4. I found “helpfull”….But It’s Helpful.
5. Also “requries” …But It’s “requires”
In the “Custom Fields” Link
6. You provided that “How did your find my website?” But its How did you find my website. (note that it’s not “Your” but “You”)
In the “Terms Of Service” Page
7. Given that “warez” But Its “Wares”.
8. Given that “activitis” But its “activities”
9. Spelling of “delted” is really “deleted”.
10. In the last sentence “adviced” Actual spelling is “Advised”.
11. “occationally” But it’s “occasionally”.
In the “Recommended Browser” Page
12. “webbrowser” But Need a Space bet “Web” and “web browser”
“Contact Us” Page under “Report Abuse”
13. “All guestbooks are required to comply to our Terms of Service.”
Please Use “with our Terms and Service” instead of “to our Terms and Service”.
In the Forum
“How do I verify my e-mail?” Link
14. You Given that “Copy and Past” But it’s “Copy and Paste.
In the “How do I add an event to the Calendar?”
15. You provided “labelled” but its’ “labeled”.
Please note these Spelling mistakes immediately.
