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 POSTING REQUIREMENTS.

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

Big Book tickets are only awarded for books that are 500 pages or longer. Also, when you are claiming a Big Book ticket, you must say so explicitly, not just in a tally at the bottom of your post.

Got it fixed on my next post, #76 - realized it when doing the math. That post should have my correct and updated total of 100 (95 + a 5 pointer in #76). Do I need to repost #48, or just leave it as is?

Hmmmm. It's things like this that make me worry about my mind. I went back to page 8 and I could not find Macb... anywhere. So I though, "Maybe I mistyped '8' instead of '3'?" So I went to page 3 of the list. Not there. Page 1? 2? 4? 5? Nope. Not there. Maybe I was looking at another list.

Sigh.

At least it was a quick read. I will look for a place to put it in the challenge in the days to come.

It actually has a paperback format on Amazon (although not on goodreads). Do I need to get it added to goodreads in that form? The paperback is listed as 86 pages, but I thought one book over 80 pages was acceptable for a 5 point task? Please let me know what I should do next. Thanks!
