The Super Challenge - discussion thread 2018/2019

Twitter/SC Website tweeted content recognition issue:

I’ve just begun tweeting (backlog of stuff to tweet as was waiting for the SC website to show only content from the current challenge - thanks for amending this guys!).... anyway my second tweet has not even registered (no idea why! looks fine: @langchallenge I #watched 15 minutes of “La Mante, S1, E4”), and my first tweet is despite tweeting this:
@langchallenge I #listened to 20 minutes of “RFI - Journal en français facile”
is only registering as ‘Unknown’ when I click on my name on the list of participants to go through to see what I’ve watched/read. Thus my one successful tweet is showing as ‘Unknown’ on the SC webpage instead of RFI - Journal en français facile, which is what I tweeted.

I suspect it’s something in my privacy settings on twitter, but am yet to work out what exactly. It was also happening for me towards the end of the last SC, but I didn’t worry about it. Anyone got any experience with resolving this?

Can you link to the tweet?

It's probably due to the quotation marks. Here are some for you " " " " " "
If you managed to send a successful tweet then it can't be your privacy settings (unless you've changed them between tweeting)

So can we count things like Wikipedia articles and websites? What about newspapers? And if so, how?

Thanks Serpent, I will try this.

#watched doesn't seem to work.
#listened works.

Yes, you count these at approximately 250-300 words per page.

[PeterMollenburg]

Nope, this didn’t work either with the new talking marks from Serpent.

No ‘unknown’ this time, again just nothing

@langchallenge I read 8 pages of "Le régime cétogène contre le cancer"

Edit: Ah, oops left out hashtag that time, be back later with an update

Edit 2: That worked! Tnx Serpent, it was the talking marks after all!

#watched doesn't seem to work.

Why is #watched no longer working? (anyone can answer). Anyone else not using #watched? I used it a lot last SC. Is everyone using #listened when they watch sth then?

[sfuqua]

I just observed it.

[Brun Ugle]

I almost always use #watched and have never had any problems. I last used it two days ago.

[Mohave]

I updated all reading/watching earlier today with the Bot which successfully used #watched several times.
