Newbie here. 10 days old…. Thanks for the info, it helps a lot. 😎👋🏻
If I may ask a question, hope you or somebody else can help.
I just tried to boost a post for the first time to see what happens and what it does. I posted the post 4 days ago. And instantly I got the points back saying “it wasn’t curated within 24 hours”. (I do have sufficient points.)
So I thought my post needs to posted within 24 hours to be able to get a boost on it. Curation?
I tried another post I posted 6 hours ago.Hi @beeber,
I got the same message and points back again.
Is there something I don’t understand? Or is it just that the posts were not accepted? The message I get I understand differently. Hope you can clarify this for me.
Here a photo of the message and what happened. 
Thanks.
Grtz Jackie
Oh, you're a little newestbie bee :-) welcome
I think this comes, when ecency staff runs out of time for curating all posts and so after 24h you get your points back. But to be honest, I'm not 100% sure, so I call dear @melinda010100 maybe she can help?
I can understand the 24 hour bit. But this was instantly when I requested to boost. The same moment. So not after 24 hours.
That is what made it confusing for me.
Let’s see if she can help 😊Thanks @beeber 👋🏻
@littlebee4 The reason that your POINTS were returned is because you had already received an Ecency encouragement vote before you tried to boost your Malaga post and the same for your Kingfisher post. Ecency doesn't want to take your Points when they have already given you a vote! No boost necessary for these posts.
Thanks for your answer. Didn’t realise those were linked.
Learning a lot the last week. 🤓Hi @melinda010100, aha… ok I understand it.
Ecency can only vote one time on your posts.
Ok, 😊 so it only works to boost when Ecency didn’t vote on a post yet. Noted 😎
