My guess is that it parsed the first reference to "pages" but since there was no associated number, it got ignored. So each tweet was recorded as you having read a book instead. I think you need to delete the tweets and just say something like "Total is eighty five, but according to the rules it only counts as 17 pages. "
Yeah sounds logical. But don't delete your tweets or you won't be able to edit the entries!!! You should reply to your own tweets with #delete or #undo.

I've done a spreadsheet on Google Drive, because I wanted to have a more detailed view of my Romance languages so I don't overdo on one and neglect the other. And I thought maybe you'll be interested on using it as a template for your own challenges. So if you want to use it, just feel free to download it (File>Download as>Excel/Open Office/etc.) or add it to your own google drive.

Can someone remind me how to do the little bars at the bottom of the signature block?

BBCode request: progress bars

Go to User Control Panel|Profile|Edit Signature and add your code.

Example:

Code: Select all

Cookies eaten [progress= ]16/25[/progress]


...will look like this:
Cookies eaten : 16 / 25 (if you've eaten 16 out of the 25 in the box ;) )

What do you mean? Your name is on there. They can move up and down the list, so maybe it’s just in a different place than before.

After I rechecked, yes, my name is back. But last night it completely vanished, I've tried to use Ctrl + F three times without result, even though I was starting at the top of the page.

For weekly streaks, when does each week begin and end? Is it Saturday or Sunday? (and who's time zone?)

Thanks! :D :D
