The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

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.

Your total is off, it looks like you added from where you left off last season instead of starting over.

Apologises, didn't realise.

Sorry, you are correct.

One of your spreadsheet neighbor's tasks got credited on your line instead of hers. This will be fixed in the next update.

I thought to myself, I did post it - but I must not have clicked the cover button well enough as I see it just put the book link twice :/

You're absolutely right. So sorry to be such a problem this season!

Bookwrm526

Could you please check my It's a Fact tickets? I have my total as 3, but the most recent readerboard has me at two.

I claimed one in Post 40 for "Let This Radicalize You"
I claimed one in Post 150 for "The Great Derangement"
I claimed on in Post 214 for "Positive Obsession" - I put this one in the middle of the post because I was claiming it for the second book, not the first book, so it might have gotten overlooked? Please advise if there is a better way to do this to make it easier for you guys!

I actually caught that when I was reviewing tasks this morning. It should be fixed in the next update.

What helps the most is also having the totals of those tickets listed at the end with your total points in each post. After I record your task, I check to see that the totals match my totals. Obviously, I can still miss something sometimes, but it reduces the mistakes. I can also catch something I missed in a previous task that way, too, like this morning.

Shoot. I double checked it twice and STILL missed it. I'll pull it and try to repost.

Your totals are incorrect in this post, you did not add correctly from the previous post and left out a GO.

I have you at 110 points, GO-1, IAF-2

I am not sure where the numbers went wrong, but I have your total at 205 points.

You are right! I had to undo a couple because of other errors and didn't recalculate correctly. Sorry for the extra work, I am not off to a good start this season. Lucky for me there isn't a Moderator's Bane award!

No problem. It is part of my Readerboard job to make sure I haven't missed anything.
