Great tips! Thank you so much!

Is it ok to click on the site you want prior to 7:00AM, so you only have to click on "reserve"? I'll also be trying the 6:59:58 tip

[@thervcanuckspodcast]

Yes! I take my list and click on the site I want, using map view (so I can quickly click another if I need to without scrolling through a list). Then I click the system time, and have my mouse hovering over the “Reserve” button until it’s time. Hope that helps!

great tips, they help a lot

[@thervcanuckspodcast]

So glad you found them helpful!

Great tips! Just wanted to ask what time you recommend clicking the reserve button? Like a second before, right on 7, or half a second before 7?

[@thervcanuckspodcast]

Great question!! For me, I find that if I hit the reserve button at 6:59:58 I clear the “too early” button and that gets the screen refreshed for exactly 7:00:00 (Now - I don’t know if that is superstition on my end, but that’s when I seem to have the most luck)!

@@thervcanuckspodcast So 6:59:58, on the on-site clock, correct?

[@thervcanuckspodcast]

Yes. That’s what I do.
