Thank you for letting me know, I've reposted now with the cover. Sorry!
Mod
Please make sure you include the task number when posting! I was able to identify the task and award points accordingly, so no need to repost, but for future posts please do double-check that you've included the number.
trishhartuk Just for the record, I realised when I posted #1328 that I'd got an addition mistake in #1268 (hadn't updated my total), so I've corrected it in #1328. I think after that, we should both have 215.
Amy FLCan you please check my total, Jayne? The readerboard has me at 460, but my spreadsheet total is 565. My last post was #1125, so all of my posted tasks should have been included already. I'll hold off on posting anything else to give you a chance to investigate. Thanks!

The Alpha readerboard has you at the 565, so I expect it'll shake out in the wash. (the same thing happened to me earlier, but waiting it out saw the two boards synchronise on update)

Yes, it was a copy/paste error on my part. Everything's showing correctly in the spreadsheet, things should tally up when the next Readerboard update goes out (probably tomorrow).
Mod
Task 25.1 is a two-book task. Also, I think you might have got muddled up with with 15.9 since you posted about the book/movie list...?
Jayne wrote: "LaureY message 1054Task 30.4 option 1 requires an author whose initials are found sequentially (i.e. consecutively) in the given phrase. SM does not appear."
Oops, I was on holiday, will deal with that tonight. Thank you.
The totals now show me with 590 points as of post 1350. I should still be at 565 (where I was after post #1125) since I didn't post again until 1360.

Good glory - I can't believe I didn't change the task name! I am so sorry to have put to to extra work, Jayne.
I have reposted with the correct task name - you were right, it was 15.9.
Thanks!
Mod
Okay, something's probably gone wrong in my records then. These are the tasks I have listed as complete for you:
5.3, 5.4, 5.8, 5.9 = 20pts
10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.7, 10.9, 10.10 = 80pts
15.2, 15.3, 15.4, 15.5, 15.6, 15.7, 15.8, 15.9, 15.10 = 135pts
20.1, 20.3, 20.4, 20.5, 20.7, 20.8, 20.9 = 140pts
25.1, 25.2, 25.3, 25.5, 25.6 = 125pts
30.1, 30.2. 30.3 = 90ts
Total of 590pts. Does that not tally with yours?

Here are the differences I found:
Task 15.1 was completed and posted in #961
Task 15.2 isn't done yet.
Here is the reason for our different point total:
Task 25.1 is included in your list, but shouldn't be. It is posted in #1363 but your last tally only went up to #1350.
Mod

Thanks Amy, I'll get that sorted.
I just realised that 25.1 is the task you wrote, which probably means I got muddled up and assigned someone's points you to by accident. Now I've just to figure out who's missing 25 points...!

Yikes! My points were correct as of the 1300 tally, so it had to be between then and 1350. Only Truitt and Angeliki claimed points for my task in that interval, so it is likely one or the other. Hope that helps.
Mod
I've just double checked, it's not either of them, they've both got their points credited. I'm absolutely baffled.

Could you have maybe gotten confused somehow there?
If not, there aren't many 25 point tasks claimed between 1300 and 1350, so I'm hoping you'll find it in one of those posts.

Please check your total. I have you on 475 points. No need to repost.

Task 20.5 requires you to post the cover.

Thanks - I apparently only added 15 points for a 25 point task - updated my records

I'm so sorry for another mistake, Jayne.
Corrected and reposted.
Thank you!

I'll get that fixed in the update later today.

Task 25.4 requires one of your books to be non-fiction. Both Locklands and Project Hail Mary appear to be fiction.

Per the Posting Requirements, only one task may be included in a post.
I have recorded your points for task 5.10.
Ok, i will repost the second book.

Your book links are missing.

Oops! I didn't think to click "more" to see the last three MPGs.
I have reposted with the AR Bookfinder listing.
I see on the Readerboard, my score is 300. Even after taking off my 3 mistakes that I made, as of this moment, my records show that my numbers are:
Total Points: 465
Tasks Completed: 24
Perhaps I'm doing it wrong?

It could just be a maths error, god knows I make them a lot.
These are the tasks I have listed as completed for you as of the last Readerboard update:
5.1, 5.3, 5.4, 5.6, 5.9, 5.10 = 30 points
10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10 = 50 points
15.5 = 15 points
20.2, 20.3, 20.4, 20.6, 20.9 = 100 points
25.1, 25.3, 25.4 = 75 points
30.3 = 30 points
Total of 300 points, 21 completed tasks. How does that compare with yours?
Edit: I just spotted in your posts that you've added 50 points for each of the 25 point tasks. Unfortunately, it's 25 points for the whole task, not per book!
Julia103The first section of the Readerboard says I have 285 points, but the Alpha Readerboard says 385. My records have 385 thru post #1650. Can you please check this? (I'm assuming a typo since the Readerboard and Alpha Readerboard should match.)
Thanks.

Oh, sorry I must have misread the rules concerning the adding of points. However I do have 3 more 15 pointers completed. If you want me to repost them, I can.
5.1, 5.3, 5.4, 5.6, 5.9, 5.10 = 30 points
10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10 = 50 points
15.1, 15.5, 15.8, 15.10 = 60 points
20.2, 20.3, 20.4, 20.6, 20.9 = 100 points
25.1, 25.3, 25.4 = 75 points
30.3 = 30 points
Total: 345 points
Edit: Thank you for your time. I appreciate your efforts with this fun game.
Mod
The 15-pointers have been posted since the last Readerboard update, so I haven't got round to tallying them yet. They'll be included on the next update, so no need to repost them. You will, however, need to repost a corrected version of 15.1, which has an error further up in the thread, in order for your points to count.

Yep, it's a typo, sorry about that! Fixed it in the records, it'll show on the next update.
