All of my reading tweets still seem to have been counted, but all of my film time is gone. I totaled the time up and tried retweeting, but I'm still showing zero minutes, two hours later.

Can you post what you tweeted here? Did you use #watched?

You forgot the language tag, assuming this was verbatim your tweet

The language tag doesn't seem to be needed if you only registered for one language.
I've decided not to try to chase down the hundred pages I lost.
Lately I've been reading and listening to the same books, but of course I'm only counting I'm either counting it as reading or listening if I listen while i read, not both at the same time.

Maybe there's some kind of limit? :? Have you tried tweeting shorter items?

I tried shorter times. Also tried resending the registration tweet and then logging 100 minutes. Still can't figure out what's going on.

However, I just sent a "#read 2 pages" tweet, and that worked.

EDIT: #film works.

Thanks to rdearman and emk for getting things back in order.

When I first registered for Family Romance I tried some combinations of letters and somehow I ended up with Persian as one of my languages but I was able to #giveup yesterday so I have my one family #01. As far as I can tell nothing is missing.

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?
