Questions/Problems in Completed Tasks
Mod
I'm your reviewing mod for the Summer season. Unfortunately, I'm also sitting exams on June 21st, so I'm currently knee-deep in revision. I'm going to try and keep on top of the Readerboard and all your queries as best as I can during this period, but please be patient with me if there are delays or I make more mistakes than usual. Normal service should resume after the 21st!
Thanks for your understanding :)
good luck on your exams!you've got this! 👍
Hi! I am a newbie here - a general question regarding the group reads - Task 20.10. Are we to read all 4 books for 20 points each? Or are we only given 20 points one time??

If I read more than one of them am I allowed 20 points for each book?

This is quite frustrating since it is still showing Dystopia for me. It's not even a tag that I'm using for it.

It is showing dystopia for me as well. It is the last MPG (after clicking "more")

That's weird, it definitely wasn't there when I did the review last night. This is probably one of those cases where since the MPG is right at the end of the list, getting it checked in advance in the help thread is advisable since it's liable to fall off!

"Yeah, I just figured that if I just post immediately after I've read the book, it wouldn't be an issue. But we don't use Goodreads because it actually lives up to its name, just because everyone else is here. Do I need to repost?
Mod
Yes, you'll need to repost.

For what it's worth, it shows "dystopia" for me too...

I posted in the thread! do you want me to repost the whole post with the points in the tasks completion thread too?
Yes you need to repost in the completed posts thread As someone who has been doing src for a decade, always get genres approved because they can disappear on a whim

Task 15.3 requires the book cover to be at least 75% comprised of Olympic ring colours: black, red, blue, green or yellow.
The Butterfly Lampshade registers as 72.9% white, which is not one of the specified colours.

I posted a book at post #65 and didn't get points. I checked here and didn't see any problems.

Kristen IAI'm sure you would catch this eventually, but just wanted to bring it to your attention. My name seems to have been left off of the ranked list in the Readerboard (updated to post 400). I should have 60 points. I'm on the Alphabetical list and It's a Fact, just not the ranked one. Thanks for checking on this.
