Sorry about that. I'll fix and repost.
Mod
20.8. Nickels & Dimes - MegSCL's Task: ..."
Are you looking at tasks you've posted since the last readerboard update?
Mod
Task 20.3 has multiple options. You need to indicate in your post which option you chose. See the Posting Requirements.
Mod
Task 30.2 requires a combined total of 600 pages. The books you have posted have a combined total of 457 pages:
Hallowe'en Party - 336 pages
The Mysterious Affair at Styles 121 pages
Mod
You posted Son of Merlin Vol. 1 which only shows as having a kindle edition. If there is a paper edition, you can ask a librarian to add it or to combine the paper edition with the kindle. If there is only a kindle edition, you will have to have it verified for length in the ebook verification thread.
Mod
20.8. Nickels & Dimes - MegSCL's Task: ..."
After post 3250, I show you with 825 (see message 258 below. You can check your own posts to see which you have posted, and thus which are remaining.
Hover your cursor over your picture in any comment in the SRC - you can use the one in this thread. You will see "see comment history." Click on that, and it will bring up your comments in the SRC. This will allow you to see which tasks you have posted, and thus to determine which tasks you have left. Just be careful to eliminate any of the posts that were mentioned in this thread, and not correctly reposted.
Mod
I did not know this and it is such helpful information! Thanks for posting it.
the other way you can look is off to the right side of the screen, there is a link called members - if you click on that, you can search your name and then click on number of comments
Mod
The only problem with this method is that people are listed by their name in grayscale, not by their readerboard names. So, for instance, there are 27 people listed with the name "Kim," not counting variations. So, that can take a bit longer, and is really not so useful for the mods - the hover method is quicker!

i was mentioning for ppl that want to find their info - vs. the mods ;)

You need to look at the ones that you've completed and then compare them against the task list. After you check off the ones that you have a completion post for, and that wasn't rejected, you should be able to see what's left.
Mod
The series number must be listed in the grayscale parentheses after the title. Shades of Magic Vol. 3: The Rebel Army shows "(Shades of Magic comics (Single Issues) #9-12)", so will not work for this task.
Mod
well, I went through your posts, using the method I suggested for you to use. I don't see any post of 25.8. If you did in fact find that one, please let me know the post #.
I believe my post #3249 got missed:https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
It boggles my mind how you keep track of all of us! :)

Sorry, Ann - found and fixed.
Unfortunately, GR was very erratic last night, and I kept getting kicked off while I was working on the posts. Something for everyone to keep in mind - it's a holiday weekend coming up, and if things get goofy with GR, they may not get fixed promptly.
Mod
You posted The Secretary which only shows as having a kindle edition. If there is a paper edition, you can ask a librarian to add it or to combine the paper edition with the kindle. If there is only a kindle edition, you will not be able to use it for this task, since there is a page requirement.

I see the paperback edition on Goodreads. The ISBN is 978-1838889555. You can't see that one? I thought I chose that one when I linked my book.

I reposted with the link to the paperback edition. Let me know if that link doesn't work.
Mod
If you look at your post, you can see what you linked to - an ebook with no other editions. The mods are not responsible for searching GR to see if there might be other editions that are not linked to the one posted.

I reposted with the link to the paperback edition. The post is #3348.
Mod
You posted The Missing Husband: a tense psychological suspense full of twists which only shows as having a kindle edition. If there is a paper edition, you can ask a librarian to add it or to combine the paper edition with the kindle. If there is only a kindle edition, you will have to have it verified for length in the ebook verification thread.
Please see the Rules of the Challenge regarding the use of ebooks.
Mod
See post above - The Riddle of the Sands only shows a kindle edition, and the only publication date show is May 2020.

I combined the vast number of copies with this listing. You should be able to easily find a mmpb now.
Mod
"Auntie" is not on the list approved for this task, and was specifically disallowed in post 6 of the help thread.

Mod
Task 50.1, option 3, odd, requires that you include in your post the name and date of death of the original author
Mod
You posted Drop Dead Gorgeous, the only paper edition of which shows without any page numbers. You can either ask a librarian to add the page numbers, or request an ok in the ebook verification thread.
Mod
Task 25.1 requires that both books be new to you and that you state this in your post.
Mod
Task 30.2 requires a total of 600 pages. A Question of Murder has 272 pages, and Sharp Objects has 254 pages, for a total of 526 pages.

Damn, well, nothing I can do about it now anymore :) It was a good run.
Mod
The page number you use must be based on the edition you read. The only exception is for ebooks. If the edition you read is missing page numbers, you need to ask a librarian to add that to the relevant edition.
Mod
Please see post 280 above.

Task 5.5 requires that you state the page number of the list on which your book is found. It is quite simple for the mods to reach a particular page, while it is a pain to find a specific listing (and, position number on a list can change quickly).
