Just a head's up, since I wasn't sure whether or not this was possible, but it just happened to me... I got a eek rare event while on the temporary page after voting in a poll and before the screen refreshes itself back to the thread. It didn't actually show me the floating gift box, but I quickly hit stop on my browser to hopefully keep it from refreshing the page, because then I know it would be gone, and I searched for the link at the bottom to click on.

I wonder how many times I might have gotten an event on that temporary page but I was busy doing other stuff and changed windows after voting in a poll and never saw it before it refreshed...

Never pays to wonder about that stuff... Just go on and watch out for it next time.

I had that happen to me before but sadly I wasn't fast enough. Then I checked at the bottem of the screen for that..."If you can not see your event, click here"....And I found it. and I got my blue/pink box.

Event, blue/pink box. What are these??? Also, what's this about refreshing the page after doing a poll to go back to the thread??? I think I must be missing something here.

After you make a post (or a reply to a post) or vote in a poll, you're taken to a temporary page that either lets you click to go back to the thread (or forum), or you can wait like 5 seconds and it will automatically take you back to the thread without you doing anything. I think there's the same thing after you send a PM, and you can click to go back to your Inbox, or wait a few seconds and it automatically does it for you, and I think there are similar things elsewhere.

The events are kind of like random events on Neo, and when you get one (it's the last thing to load on the page) you'll have a little talk bubble by your avatar with a eek inside it, and it says Look around! You may see an enchanted trunk, pink gift box, or blue gift box floating down your screen that you can click on (clicking it will take you to the main front page of Gaia, and then you can check your inventory by clicking your avatar) or you'll get a pink link which gives you 1k. I've never actually SEEN a pink link, but when you get an event, you can check the very, very bottom of that page for a small link that says "If you cannot see your event, click here."

it is very random isn't it? much like the neo events. some people seem to get far more than others. i've had 2 pink links and a blue box so far and i joined on january 28th so they're living up to their 'rare'name for me at least!

I joined in November and haven't gotten any. Of course until Fawn told me what to look for and the fact I haven't been real active until recently doesn't help either. I have been paying more attention when I post now so hopefully I will get one soon.
