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 Rules of the Challenge.

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

The task has been recorded. To claim a drawing ticket see the rules for page numbers and posting requirements in the Rules
You must specifically claim a ticket.
To claim the ticket you must repost (edit and copy the text to preserve the html) Indicate at the top of your post that this is a repost to claim a GO, BB or NF ticket, so that it is clear that this is not a new task posting.

Hmm ... that's really odd as I've just checked it again both by clicking on the link & copying the link into a new tab & it seems to be ok but I have reposted anyway ...

(This happened to me with a book last task & I have no idea why - I literally select "add book/author" & choose the book from the list - I can only suppose its a subtle way of trying to get me to read books about birds as last time's went to a book about Budgies!)
