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.

Thanks, Dimrose. That was an oops! reading an extra book for task.
I will see if Option 3 can fit somewhere else.
Do I need to repost or edit my post 94?

No need to repost.
You do have the choice to use option 3 and move the option 2 book.
That would require unclaiming the task and then reposting.
The instructions are in Posting Requirements.

Just looked at Readerboard and noted that 15 points are recorded for Task 15.5 (My post 137)
However, the 20 points for Option 2 of Task 20.7 (My post 94) have not yet been recorded. Perhaps you are still catching up with this one.

You linked to the hardcover The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo with 480 pages, and included the MMPB for the page count.

Yes, the copy I own is a paperback. I don't know if it is in fact THE MMPB...

In my copy, which is identified as the "First Vintage Crime/Black Lizard Edition, June 2009", the story ends on page 590, which certainly meets the Big Book Ticket requirements, but I'm new to all this- does that work?

From Posting Requirements
If you are claiming a BB ticket, you must include the number of pages in the book. Be sure that the link you provide goes to the edition you actually read, with the correct number of pages. If you used an ebook or an audiobook, include a link to the paper edition used to establish length.

You cannot EDIT ... you will need to repost. The moderator does not go back to check previous posts.

I wasn't claiming a BB ticket. I gave the page count because the one-book option required a book with over 500 pages. Since I linked to the audio version, I wanted to make sure to include the page count in the paperback version to show that I met the task requirements.

[Coralie]

I think I should have 5 more points. I had 456 points then I posted 5.4 in post 545 and 20.7 in post 546, making a total of 70 points.

Just FYI, I somehow ended up with one random extra point on the Readerboard. Figured it was a typo, but it has shown up in my last few totals. :) I think I should have 210...though I'm always ok with a bonus ;)
