Questions/Problems in Completed Tasks

[Fiona (Titch)]

Oh ok, wasn't sure xx

[Karen Michele]

Uh - 0h

I was post 2500 this am and now it says 2497. My post has dropped down to 2494, so that's 6 posts less than this am.

Just a heads up to the mods.

Oh boy
All my records are out of place

Thanks, Karen

I'll try to reconstruct.

It's somewhere after 2266 because that one is still mine for task 5.6, it gets wonky after that.

my 5.1 was 2300 and is now 2294 if it helps narrow.

[Jamie]

Actually I just looked again and now 2266 is 2260 so....

it's before that

[Morgan]

I keep checking links to completed tasks and I'm back as far as what should be 2155 but is 2149.

[Dee]

Oy vey...

[Sandi]

Wish I could help pinpoint it but I don't have record what post number any of my claims were.

[Morgan]

Those are the only one I had specifics for, because I had a "needs checked by mods" list in my notebook. :/

[Rebecca NJ]

It actually goes pretty far back :( My first post was 732 and is now 730. Not sure if that helps you guys or not.

[Dlmrose, Moderator Emeritus]

Thanks everybody. I think I've found it.

We'll make it work

All is well - sorry about leaving off my readerboard name - the last thing I wanted to do was create more work for you...which, I wanted to say THANK YOU for doing this - a challenge both ways but I hope you are having as much fun as we are

Yes the Mods are amazing! I made a couple of slip ups early on after trying to be so careful but I haven't made any more yet (touch wood). Such a great job they do.

[Kristina Simon]

Aww... Thank you both for the kind words. I know for me, the challenge is a definite labor of love and I enjoy it tremendously. My TBR pile, on the other hand, is groaning from the increased load. ;-)

Task 25.5 -- Grimm Tales: For Young and Old has the genre "children's" on the book's main page. All books with children's on the main page must be accompanied by the AR Bookfinder data as spelled out in the Rules of the Challenge: Effective Fall 2014. Please review the rules and then repost with the required information.

Task 25.6 -- The edition of A Walk in the Woods you've linked to has 320 pages and, therefore, does not fit the task. If you actually read an edition with page numbers that include a 5 and a 0, please repost linking to the edition you read.

My Dear President: Letters Between Presidents and Their Wives does not currently show the genre "History" on its main page. If you got the book pre-approved in the task help thread or the genre verification thread, please repost this task indicating which post the approval is in and in which thread.

A book about a viagra-like pill being used to get semen of famous men...? It is not one I thought I'd need to check. And needless to say, is not on AR.
Curses!
Also: am very worried about people that are handing this one over to their darling offspring to read :/

ADAMBONGO - Post 2403

Hi. I'm new at this, so sorry if I'm doing something wrong here.


But, I posted my 5.6 POINT book, it was the 2403rd post and the readerboard says it has been updated through 2500. However, my point total is still 5 when it should be 10.

Here's the link if you need it :) https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Just keeping you guys updated, no rush with updating it :)

Adam, Message 481 in this thread is for you, so you should go check that out. Your book was a children's book so the task was posted incorrectly and currently doesn't count towards your points.

I do not see Childrens on the main page... Here's a copy of the genres on the main page. Is Young Adult considered children's?

Genres
Young Adult 51 users
Historical Fiction 51 users
Mystery 43 users
Romance 12 users
Fiction 8 users
Poetry 8 users
Young Adult > Teen 4 users

However, I will post the info requested.

No, young adult isn't considered children's. It just so happens that when I was looking at it yesterday, GRs listed children's as the last genre on the books main page. As you found, and I've just verified, children's has now fallen off the page, so you're good. ;-)

Amy N - post 2503

Show Me Your Face does not appear to have a print version on Goodreads. Please see the Rules of the Challenge for information on the requirements for ebooks with no print editions and then repost this task (make a NEW post in the completed tasks thread) with the required information. Please DO NOT edit or delete post 2503.

Also, Financial Literacy is task 5.6, not 5.7. To avoid confusion, please include the correct task number when you repost.

No need to repost the other task in post 2503. The points for those tasks have been recorded.

[Kristina Simon]

Rebe - post 2510

It's fine to include more than one newly completed task in a post but if you do so the tasks must be listed in numerical order, lowest to highest. Please review the Posting Requirements effective Fall 2014 and then repost your tasks in numerical order.

[Kristina Simon]

Lene - post 2517

The edition of Me Before You you have linked to has fewer than 400 pages, so it will not work for task 10.7. If you read an edition with more than 400 pages, please repost this task with a link to the edition you read. (The easiest way to do this is to put the book's ISBN number into the search box of the add book/author popup.)

When reposting for Goodreads Author or Big Book tickets post ONLY the tasks that require correction and note at the TOP of your posts that you are reposting to claim tickets.

The AR Bookfinder information you posted for The Giver will work for most tasks, however, task 25.3 specifically does not allow books with the genre "children's" on its main page.

Captain America Girl - post 2696

The Bell Jar was first published in 1963. Sylvia Plath was born in 1932, making her 31 when the book was published so it won't work for option 4 of task 30.3.
