Well done, BC!
Great that you found the links okay, Tari. I do the same thing though, when I sign up for a new challenge. I don't book mark them, but I set up a link to them. And as you might expect, I sometimes find the links "broken" and then have to go back through the challenge thread to find where my challenge has "moved" to.The good news is though, you found the new posts :)
Hmmmm....when I checked your link in the Participants Post earlier, Tari, it was taking me to message #41, I think it was. That may not be the exact number, but it’s somewhere around there. So if you go to the Participants Post (it is usually message #2), and click in your name, it should take you right to your post as it is now. Then, you can just save that post as a bookmark if that is how you usually do it. Or if you have a link set you, you will just need to re-do that link and connect it to the new post number.Am I making any sense?
Just a heads up for those who wish to withdraw from a challenge...Please do NOT delete your message. You can simply edit the messages and leave nothing more than a period (.) which will keep everything in place, and the links will stay as they are.
When I see something like that, I know that person is withdrawing, and I will remove them from the list.
So - it's really simple, and the participant withdrawing never even has to post to let me know....and, it also leaves all the links in place.
If you have questions, please let me know :)

Did some of this challenge accidentally get deleted by ..."I see that, Tari! Everything is still there just as Bonita indicated, and just as you discovered...they've just moved because Banshee deleted her posts. What that does is throw everyone's links out of whack below them. So everyone below Banshee will have to be re-set. It's a difficult thing for you all because it means you have to track down your posts, and difficult for me due to having to re-set the links.
Hang in there though, I'll get them fixed right quick and all will be back to normal :)
