Bumping a thread = writing a comment to bring a thread back to everyone's attention by making it the most recently commented thread.
It only helps you.
And maybe he/she is interested in the same thing, which is why he/she wants the thread not to be forgotten.

okay. So, how do advanced points work on a giveaway, and what does it do specifically?
Thanks!

Don't use ESGST. So I don't know. But I hope, someone else will be able to answer your original question.

I've been using ESGST for almost 2 years. This is the first time that I hear of "Advanced Points".
The closest thing I can think of is "Advanced Filters". If that setting is enabled, it give you the option to filter giveaways by their point cost. Maybe that's what you're referring to?
Btw, there's a dedicated thread for questions/issues/announcements related to ESGST that can be found here.
I recommend searching that thread for answers. Chances are whatever you're curious about has been asked and answered before.
Edit: Nvm. Just saw your reply to damianea103.

well... turns out it was "Advanced Per Point"...
Not sure what that is, so if you know what that is, could you answer that? (:

There's a thing called Projected Chance which calculates your odds of winning a giveaway based on elapsed time, remaining time, the current number of entries and possibly other factors. "Advanced per point" is Projected Chance divided by the point cost of a giveaway.
I think it's supposed to be a way for you to maximize your odds of winning while minimizing how many points you spend. I've never used it.

You're talking about the "advanced per point" winning chance?

Ah, that makes more sense. There is no such thing as "advanced points", that's just in reference to the probability calculations. Basic chance is calculated solely from entries, and advanced is calculated using some special formula.

The features are numbered, it would help a lot if you'd tell which number is that you have a question about.

I don't know what feature it is, so I can't tell you what number it is

Source code: https://github.com/rafaelgomesxyz/esgst/blob/main/src/modules/Giveaways/GiveawayWinningChance.jsx#L163
Relevant parts:
basicChance = (copies / entries) * 100;
advancedChance = (copies / ((entries / (Date.now() - startTime)) * (endTime - startTime))) * 100
chancePerPoint = basicChance / points;
projectedChancePerPoint = advancedChance / points;
`Giveaway Winning Chance (${chancePerPoint}% basic and ${projectedChancePerPoint}% advanced per point)`In addition to incorporating the usual number of copies and number of entries, the formula takes into account how long until the giveaway ends (because you have a higher chance of winning quick giveaways)

As this isn't about core feature of the site. I think right place for this discussion is Add-ons / Tools.

probally. But, when I asked this I thought it was a part of the main site, and I was just seeing it because of ESGST, not that it was something added by ESGST (:
with that new info, yeah

So, I'm using ESGST (it's a chrome plugin), and it can show me what my chances of winning are.
Well, it mentioned something called
"Advanced Points". What are those?Edit: Turns out it's Advanced per point... still not sure what that is though (:
So, what is "Advanced Per Point", and how does it work?
Thanks!
