Poor dlmrose - even us "veterans" are hitting the wall this season. Those pesky little "requireds" are nailing me.
Don't give up on us dlmrose!

I'm glad it isn't just me. I've been an on again off again participant since 2008 and have only landed on the wall of shame maybe 3 times total (since the "problems" thread was introduced that is) but two of those times have been for this challenge. Sheesh! :)
Wow Beth - 2008, back when Cynthia did it all by herself.
this is my second time this season, after not being on for like 5 seasons...lol!and stupid GR won't let me merge the 2 book records (kindle and paperback) - so I have to wait right now
Even if they won't merge the 2 versions couldn't you still post a link to the pb version in your post Dee?
I will but heading out now - more just fustration
Mod
Never, Sheila!
Mod
Just FYI- no need to repost- please repost only the tasks that need correction
My post #914 for task 20.7 I claimed a BB point but I don't see it in the final tally and I don't see a problem posted here. Can you let me know if I did something wrong or it just got missed? Thanks!

The problem is that you didn't specifically claim a BB ticket, so I didn't know that you were claiming a BB ticket. Just saying how many pages are in a book doesn't do the trick - many people specify page numbers without claiming a ticket. If you are claiming a BB ticket, you need to say so explicitly, just as you specifically claimed the GRA tickets.
Mod
If you are claiming a GR author ticket, you must state this in your post, not just put a tally at the end of the post. Also, any GR author ticket claim must include the name of the author.
Please repost indicating that you would like to claim a GRA ticket. Reposts must be complete so include book links and any necessary information.
When you repost for an author ticket, please indicate that at the top of your post, so that Dlmrose will know that she does not need to review the post for points.

Mod
If you are claiming a BB ticket, you must include the number of pages in your post.
Reposts must be complete so include book links and any necessary information. When you repost for a BB ticket, please indicate that at the top of your post, so that Dlmrose will know that she does not need to review the post for points.

You claimed a Big Book ticket for Americanah, linking to a kindle edition with 400 pages. If the edition you read had 500+ pages, please repost, linking to the correct edition. If you read an ebook edition, please follow the rules for determining page length for ebooks.
If you repost for a BB ticket, please indicate that at the top of your post, so that Dlmrose will know that she does not need to review the post for points.
I'm confused. I thought kindle pages didn't count, so I already used those rules for that listing.
Mod
Then you need to include a link to the version you used to establish page length.

Unauthorized Affair appears to exist in ebook format only. Please see the Rules of the Challenge for information on how to deal with ebooks with no print editions and then repost with the required information.
