That's right, we're approaching the end of Amtrak's All Aboard contest, so this is your last chance to get aboard -- before midnight tonight, EST! If you're already part of the Green Team, make sure you've fulfilled all of the basic requirements:
1) You've joined the All Aboard group. Since they're the ones who are running the contest, they're rather insistent that you be a member.
2) You've posted the Green Train icon as your current profile icon. If you've been holding off on changing your icon until the last minute -- this is the last minute! Get aboard now or forever hold your ticket!
3) You have posted "I've boarded the Green Train Team!" to the 'All Aboard The Green Train Team!' article. This is important, as people might be disqualified as Passengers if they do not include this phrase.
4) You have to keep your profile icon as the Green Train for at least 24 hours after the contest's end date to count as a passenger during the judging.
If you are not already a member of Green Team, and have not already joined a train, now's your last chance to do so, by following the aforementioned steps. Remember, every member of the winning team earns 50 Gather Points, and one lucky team member earns a $50 American Express gift card -- and all you really have to do is change your icon for a couple of days, join a group, and post a comment. Pretty easy task for a large reward.
If you are already a member of another train, sorry! You are not allowed to switch trains once you have chosen one.
If you would like to promote Team Green, try adding a link to the 'All Aboard The Green Train Team!' in your comments, post an article about it, or use these handy graphical links to help direct people to join up! Don't forget to hurry, though -- we're approaching our final destination, and we don't want to miss anyone!

Have you offered them help?
As of last count we were comfortably in the lead by about 50 passengers.
Marianne:
About two hundred -- but some of our passengers haven't put up their profile icon yet, or used a different phrasing, which means it has to be fixed before midnight tonight for those passengers to qualify.
Yep, I'm going to be checking through the list and helping individuals out personally right after I have lunch.
Thanks again, guys, for being patient throughout all of this (and throughout that other contest, hehe.)
You can view the image directly through the link, then select File, and Save As, to save the image directly.
You can view the image directly through the link (or by viewing it anywhere else), right-click on the image, and select Save Image As.
You can right-click on the Green Train Icon link above, and select Save Link As from the menu that appears.
Any of these options should give you the opportunity to save full.jpg, which you can then in turn upload to Gather, marking the checkbox for 'make this your current profile icon'.
If none of these options work for you (ISP-specific browsers are prone to this problem), and you need it emailed to you directly, please contact me immediately with your email address and I will send it directly to you.
