Questions or problems with completed task posts will be posted here.

If you have questions about your points on the Readerboard:

1. Make sure that the Readerboard has been updated through the post that you are concerned about.
2. Please check your math.
3. Check to see if one of your posts is listed in this thread with a question. If so, please make a NEW POST in the Completed tasks thread to clear up the question. DO NOT go back and edit the original post. I will not go backwards in the completed task thread to pick up points.
4. To avoid further questions/problems, please refer to the TASK DESCRIPTIONS and the POSTING REQUIREMENTS.

Thank you for helping keep the record keeping for the challenge as manageable as possible.

This is Maddie and I think I should have 1 Big Book Ticket that is not on the Readerboard. My post for The Cider House Rules (587 pages) was for Task 15.3 and is post #40 on the completed tasks board.

Thanks for looking into this!

So sorry, Maddie - it always takes me a little while to switch my brain from doing readerboard to doing BB/GRAs. Problem fixed, and your BB ticket will show up in the next update.

To claim a BB ticket, you must include the number of pages in your post. See the Posting Requirements and post 1 in the Completed Task Thread.

When you repost to claim the ticket, please indicate at the top of your post that you are reposting for this purpose, so that Dlmrose doesn't have to revisit your post.

I'm not claiming a GRA. That was a mistake in copying my points list. Sorry about that.

Sandy, I am so sorry. I was so worried about being sure to link to the version with the correct number of pages, that some of the links don't indicate he is a GR author (which I didn't realize when posting). No big deal about getting a ticket for GRA, but since this is my first time participating in this challenge I am trying to do everything right. :) Thanks for all the work you do organizing this!

Sandy and Jennlynn, this was a GR Librarian issue. Some of the editions were under the GR Author but not all. I have corrected that now. All editions will show Michael Wallace as a GR Author.

OK - repost the task, stating at the top that you're reposting to claim a GRA ticket. Be sure to do a complete repost, including links. You can go to your original post, click "edit" underneath and copy it from there - then paste into new post. (That will preserve the formatting from your original post). Then, just edit the new one to include the reference at the top to reposting to claim Michael Wallace as GRA.
