You've only listed one option for task 25.6, which asks for two different options.

Got it, thanks!

Your book link redirects to an "item does not meet our catalog guidelines" error. The other mods and I have tried to find additional references for it, but all we've found suggests that it might be a workbook or activity book, which doesn't qualify as a book for SRC purposes (see point 7 of the rules).

Oopsie! I'll try to get it verified, thanks!
Just FYI, I realised I had my total and tasks completed wrong in my previous post (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...). It should have been 355pt and 24 tasks at that point (I hadn't updated the data I copied from my record of the previous one). I've gone from the correct total in the post I've just made #1512: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Hey, sorry to be a bother but my Golden Oldies through post 1650 don't tally with my records. By my calculation I have 3, as claimed in posts 1610, 1612 and 1613. Thanks!

Sorry about that, fixing it now.

Task 25.1 option 1 has "required: state the word".
Mod
Just a reminder that when it comes to determining page counts for books, we don't use ebook editions (see point 7 here).
Luckily, the top paperback for Glint still qualifies for the task, so your points have been recorded - this is just a note for future reference.

Hi, I was checking my Readerboard score and it is listed as 345. According to my notes, it should be 355 - my last post was for 10.10 (Post #1692) and I don't see that there was an issue with the post. I also have 2 IAF tickets and on here it only says 1 (Post #'s 1506 and 1565). Thanks!
Mod
Apologies, all errors found and fixed now.
Sarah EI'm missing an It's a Fact ticket from post 1709, although I have the points credited for that task. Could you take a look, please?
Also, I seem to be listed twice on the readerboard - once with my correct total of 60 points, and once with the total I had before the last update, 30. I figure it may disappear on it's own in the next update, but worth mentioning just in case...
Thank you!

Credited your missing IAF ticket, fixed the Readerboard duplicate entry. I'm genuinely not quite sure how I managed that one!
