Balloon Boost Problem
Our beta virtual balloon race test managed to find a couple of bugs in the system - this is fantastic feedback as they may have taken months to discover:
Today for example he had over 13,000 boosts from a massive effort of getting people all over the place to click to give him boosts. It gave him about 4km and then the boost reduced to zero. The same thing happened yesterday when he had over 6,000 boosts. It is seriously disheartening to have this happen repeatedly and doesn't incline anyone towards supporting him on a daily basis. Please can you fix the problem. His balloon name is Chip and he is one of the balloons with Solihull School
Balloon Race Admin Area
Working in the balloon race admin area is simple and easy to follow. You can administer the race start and finish dates, the cost of each virtual balloon and the boost donation settings.
Your admin area shouldn't affect balloon values at all. The race runners admin area may but would more likely change the values of everyone's balloons. The overlay is the only part of the site that does boost deductions and it only does that when you move to another site.
If you are using Paypal to collect your donations you will need to set the postage & packing at '0'. Here's a quick video on 'How To':
