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.
4. To avoid further questions/problems, please refer to the TASK DESCRIPTIONS and The Rules of the Challenge.

Thank you for helping keep the record keeping for the challenge as manageable as possible.

Jessica (bookwrm526) | 2105 comments Bookwrm526

Hi! The Readerboard has my point total at 10, but I think it should be 20. I posted two five point tasks (post 2 and post 15) and one ten point task (post 27). I don't see any messages here about problems with my posts, but please let me know if I messed something up!

I did just notice that I didn't include my readerboard name in post 2, but that would make my total 15 still, not 10. I've confused myself at this point!

That's the problem! I had attributed your post #2 to "Jessica" not "Bookwrm526" - I'll get that sorted today ...

Delicious Dee - post #78
The task clearly states that the book must be written under a pseudonym - the book you have linked is written under the author's real name which does not work for this task (the fact that they also write under a pseudonym is not what this task requires)

I have credited this to 30.1 - but you actually state 30.5 in the post (just want you to make sure your own records are correct!)

Angela | 917 comments I posted in the Question/Problem thread dedicated to the Winter Season on March 1st that I was missing points. It appears that thread is no longer being moderated as my question was not answered or resolved. Hopefully I provided enough information in that thread that my points could get added to my final total for last season. Let me know if you need more information from me. Thanks!

Thanks for catching this, I have down a different 20 point task at Msg 519, but apparently GR swallowed it. I will repost that one.

B) read a book with a word that ends in a double vowel

the word TEA ends in two vowels but not a "double vowel" which is two of the same vowel (eg thrEE)

♞ Pat Gent | 786 comments To the Mods ....

I've made a goof and used a book twice. Once in post #551 and again in post #1309.

I would like to replace the book in post #551 with another title.

The Sunday Philosophy Club (Isabel Dalhousie, #1) by Alexander McCall Smith The Sunday Philosophy Club by Alexander McCall Smith
Read ~ 4.26.24
Requirement ~ Tineye: blue (91.1%), gray (4.8%), violet (4%)


I apologize for this. I've been laid up for a week with an old back injury and the drugs that I'm taking for pain have made me a little fuzzy, which leads to goofs.

Dee (austhokie) | 8946 comments i think my readerboard is wrong - here's what i'm tracking - i failed to be able to add at post 1430.

post 1430 - 510pts
post 1431 - 535pts
post 1541 - 545pts
post 1548 - 570pts

right now i have 560 listed - or did i fail meth elsewherE?


message 48: by Cat (new)

Cat (cat_uk) | 3382 comments the readerboard is only current to 1515, so your last two posts wouldn't be included anyway. but that does still leave you adrift somewhere. I usually double check my posts (hover over your image to see comment history), which can help track errors in my records


message 49: by Lucy-Bookworm, Moderator (new)

Lucy-Bookworm | 828 comments Mod
Dee - I've looked into this and I think the maths went a bit wrong around post 1035!
In #1026 you had 340pts which tallies with my master sheet
In #1035 you list 330pts but actually you should have 340+15 here for 355
In #1044 you claim 25pts but again add it to the 320 error from above not the correct 355 - you should have 380 at this point ...

Then you have:
#1053 25.9 380 + 25 = 405
#1078 20.10 405 + 20 = 425
#1091 10.6 425 + 10 = 435
#1153 15.8 435 + 15 = 450
#1174 25.13 450 + 25 = 475
#1321 20.7 475 + 20 = 495
#1322 25.5 495 + 25 = 520
#1430 15.3 520 + 15 = 535
#1431 25.1 535 + 25 = 560

(The readerboard will be updated shortly to include the last 2 posts that you have added ... )

Lucy-Bookworm | 828 comments Mod
Lora - Please check your maths ... I think you have 455 points but you are only showing 365!

I think there is an error at #639 (you only added 15 not 25), again in #773 where you only added 10 not 20pts & in #1025 where you don't seem to have added any points on ...
