Ineligible for next GE :(

I agree. Rules have to be observed the same for everyone and that's only fair. Sounds like maybe you thought you'd been a member a few days longer than you actually have and that was what was hard to understand? Chin up and hang in there. You can make it until the next one if you go ahead and start collecting some things, thinking of clues, etc. Your SB will be waiting down the road!

The start of the GE signups is April 1st and you're required to be a member for at least 3 months. You joined January 11th. You won't have been a member for 3 months on April 1st. If you had joined before January 1st you'd be a member for at least 3 months.

The signup might start on the first of the month but at least according to the last one, it ended at the the end of the month, so obviously I would not sign up until the middle of April after I served my three months time. So that's why I don't understand what you don't understand.

Just thought of an example, A 5 K race is announced and you must be 18 to register. Sign ups are sent out April 1st and you have until April 31st to enter. I am 17 (LOL only for this story) On April 11th I turn 18, so I enter on April 15th. Do you think my application will be accepted??

Anyway I am sorry guys, I will stop beating a dead horse, because I know when I have lost an argument and don't want to anger you, so I am putting my tail between my legs and crawling out of here to move on to a thread that puts me in a better mood TGIF
