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.

Oh, I'm sorry, I've never read children's books before for this challenge, so I misunderstood the rule of the task. Does this mean I can't use this book in a challenge at all, because it doesn't apply to the rules in general?

It does mean that this book will not work for the challenge.

I was going to reject the post but got distracted
I'll take it now- but please do not edit posts

Even if the post is not reflected on the Readerboard yet, I've often logged the post on my spreadsheet already and I will not know that you've made the changes.
