And if I can get one last box planted, I'll be able to list another 5 box series. The clock is ticking!

I changed the restrictions on 4 boxes to read "none" and zero, zero. Why can't I see anything from New York State? The states I see---a few have more than 4-- but most only show one box, so shouldn't NY have SOME listed? What am I doing wrong?

I now see one for New York state. I planted a series of 3, plus one, with no restrictions. Something's odd here.

When you click on the 1 for New York, the results come back with all 5 of your boxes, a 3 box series and 2 singles.

So is this a count only of how many people planted, and not how many boxes?

No. According to The Rules:
"If you list it as a reserved box in order to get a box number ahead of time, don't list your reserved box before May 17th."

I'm not sure when you reserved it, but I believe (based on a guess of the ID number) it might have been sometime around May 6th, maybe?

Ryan said he would count it. But if it's not counted, I am putting restrictions back on it.

Somebody must have forgotten to tell the Widget algorithm that. It's just following the posted rules.

Thanks for explaining. Absolutely logical. If you learn that it will count, let me know, and I will go back and un-restrict it. [Now that I understand the complete meaning of not-restricted!]

That was a reserved box of something else I never planted, I just changed and updated everything else after I planted today.

AQ doesn't know that. I'd just delete it and relist if you want it to count. The state counts aren't that important in the grand scheme of things, but it will still count towards the total stats.

*I* don't count anything! I just set the widget to do it. =)

And I stopped looking for reasons why your box wouldn't be counted when I saw it had restrictions. I didn't dig into the details of your box enough to realize that they weren't being counted for two different reasons!

But yes, boxes that you started to list more than a week early aren't eligible as well.

It's ok. I started over. Seems to be working now. It's my first time participating in PAL Day...learning curve.

hmm, I activated one in Massachusetts yesterday that isn't showing in the state count.

Is that because I *created* it a few months ago, but only activated yesterday?

Yes. I had to delete my series and start over. But months ago is so much earlier! [I was 10 days too early.]

Your boxes have restrictions on them so they're not counting. Remove those restrictions if you want the widjet to count them.

If you add/change a box restrictions after PAL day, will the count change?

Nope. In fact those counts will soon disappear and all that will remain will be total counts-which won't change either.

Really? I kinda don't like that even non-AQ members have access to clues. When can that be changed?
