I just clicked "Show Download" for Wynnter Elf, the points were removed from my account, but the page no longer exists. Obviously, when I opened that page up earlier this morning it was there, and then it was removed. Shouldn't this be checked before removing the points?
I've encountered a number of pages lately that don't last too long. I think most of them are duplicates, but the most recent cat for G8F appears to have been renamed.
I'm not terribly worried about the points, but I thought it was worth pointing out (no pun intended 🙂 ) in case someone can fix the bug.
I tend to open up links in new tabs throughout the day/weekend and then download them when I have time to search to make sure I don't already have them, decide if I need them, etc. So, it's not uncommon for me to have a tab that stays open for days. So, this may be something that only affects me because of my usage pattern.
February 26, 2018 at 3:05 PM #510404ive had a few do this. I just report it as a dead link.
Nothing last forever. 🙁

Reporting Dead Links and Duplicate Posts
(https://zonegfx.com/forums/topic/reporting-duplicate-posts/)February 26, 2018 at 6:12 PM #510622I think, in this particular case, the post was made public then it was pulled back again, and then it is now public again. Of course, I have to spend another 50 points to get access to it, which kinda sucks, but...whatever. It's not the end of the world. However, this really should be considered a bug, since I shouldn't have been able to complete the process if the page wasn't valid.

Now ive got enough to use my points to request items.
100 free points a day is pretty nice still. 10 items a week
or you can search for bundles and get 100 character withnone click. Id rather buy a nice item to share and get pounts than to buy points. sharing is a win win situation.March 1, 2018 at 10:41 PM #514492Fulfilling other folks posted requests is another good way to build up your account balance.
