Thank you so much!
Bookwrm526Hi! I think a post might have been missed in the most recent points update, but I'm not 100% sure! I posted task 25.8 at post 576. I had 205 points as of post 550, and my point total is still showing as 205 through post 600. I didn't see any questions or problems with my post here, so I just wanted to check!
Thanks!

You're absolutely right. I've fixed it and the next update will reflect it. So sorry.

No worries, thank you for the response :)

Check your totals, as of 625, I show 55 points, you have 45 points as your total. It looks like we agreed on your previous post (503) with 40 points, but then you only gave yourself 5 for a 15 point task. No need to do anything, post-wise, just let me know if we still disagree after you check your math.

Just FYI - Check your totals, I show 2 BB, posts 689 and 185. No need to do anything, post-wise, just let me know if we still disagree after you check your totals.
You are correct Kim. Thanks for the heads up

I'm not seeing where it indicates where it is set.

5.10 Please repost with Readerboard name, and check your totals, you are off by 20. I think you forgot to add post 764 (task 20.1) to your records.
Mod
10.2 - Just a heads up - your post was a 10 point task, you only gave yourself 5 points. No need to do anything but check your totals.
Mod
Please repost with a link to the book that you read.

2. Audiobooks
--A) Audiobooks without a written word equivalent, either physical or digital, MUST get the book pre-approved by a moderator in the topic "Book verification-no print edition" in General Help.
----1. They will be verified to meet the general 100+ page book requirement as long as they are at least 2 hours in length.
----2. This verification must be noted in Completed Task posts that claim the book. Example: "Audiobook approved @ (line # on spreadsheet or post #)"
Mod
25.6 Read a book by a single author whose first and last initial... Your book lists two authors, who may or may not be the same person. If you get this approved in the task help thread and repost, I'll accept that. Mention the approval.
Also, can you tell me which 25 pt tasks you have completed (with post # if you have them). I have 25.4, 25.6 and 25.9 - with no credit yet for 25.6. You have your point total being 325, I come up with 275. I can account for it being 25 pts different, but the fact that it is 50 points different leads me to believe I missed one of your 25 point postings. Thanks.

I just went in and reentered your 3 - 25 point tasks, and the spreadsheet now comes to 300. I must have had a space or something. Just repost on the Completed Task thread with the # of the help thread approval message for 25.6, and we should be good to go.

Kathy,
As I posted in the verification thread, you did pre-approve the book in message 444.

Both books go to the same link (Finding Me). Please repost with a link to your first book.
I posted this in General Questions thread but no answerFor a task the requires a minimum page count, for example the 50 point task that requires over 750 pages and 3 books.
Can I use an audiobook with no page count (but meets the minimum time requirement and is approved) and 2 books with 351 pages and 400 pages?

Sorry for a late reply, but I wanted to make sure I had the agreement of the other mods. Yes, that would be allowed since the audiobook isn't being used for the page count requirement.

You unclaimed 25.6, subtracted the points in that post, but not in any of the following posts. That is to say, your total is off my 25 points. No need to repost anything, just fix your records, or let me know if we disagree.

This message just made me realize that I totally missed that page requirement way back in my post 179 and apparently it wasn't caught! My total wasn't close to 501 pages. I will need to redo that task.
