I watched the first two episodes of Mayor Of Kingstown with Jeremy Renner. The whole thing moved fairly quickly and they've done a good job of establishing characters. I look forward to seeing where they take it.

I'm also re-watching Doctor Who.

I know it seems like I say this every time but all of the entries were excellent and it made it so hard for the judges. This of course is something we want, so thank you to everyone that entered.

I haven't scrolled through all of the posts in this thread. Perhaps someone has mentioned it. I would like to know when and if we will ever get a listing of all of the badges still available on the site with a good description of what they are for. I know I am still missing badges from before the conversion but I can't remember all of them.

I do know we changed the name of the Omnium badge to something else. Whatever it is now is not appearing on profiles. I have the Prolific badge which is for those who have written in 80 percent of the genres. I still need the new Omnium to be added back.

I'm not sure that has been mentioned since the change over first took place. I will ask about that and about missing badges.

I have received an email from Sarah @ Symbios who says she can see the issue from a screen shot I sent to her and it will be included in the next update in about 4 weeks. She also suggested zooming out to get around the issue until then, which seems to work.

Thank you for sharing what she said for those that may be experiencing the same issue.

Vegetable beef stew. It's in the crockpot now and it's starting to smell amazing.

Just a little update:

We have badges on the competition stories now.

Of course, the competition banner is back up so the stories are a lot easier to find.

So everyone knows, in the forums, you can do a partial quote by highlighting just the part you are referring to and then click the quote button.

You are also able to post links directly to your forum post which will make advertising your story a little easier.

One last thing for now. Just in case you may have missed it with the excitement of the changeover, we now have a Historical Fiction category. I know quite a few people have been asking for that and we finally got it.

Good morning/afternoon all. After a little confusion on the comp, new system and all that, the comp is back open.

Quote by Ping

Howdy. The competition banner and link to all the entries has disappeared. In addition, the competition link in genres has disappeared too. Is there another way to see a list of the comp stories?

Hmmm… I wonder if the banner and links were programmed to be date sensitive? Here yesterday, disappear October 31, the competition deadline.

Yeah, that is something I was not expecting with the new system. It was supposed to be closed at midnight PT tonight. I'm trying to see if I can open back up.

Edit to add:

Okay, that finally worked! Phew. Lesson learned on this one.

Yay, number fourteen!

Since the changeover, all my external emails for both sites have taken me to the log-in page. I can no longer read them without having to log in. I miss that feature. Not sure if it is on the list of things to change.

I've asked about this feature as well and I can say it is on the list of things to be considered.

Maybe you are too young for Pussycat?

I'm not sure they really made it to the US. It sounds like some of the country/folk songs I grew up hearing, but I've never heard of them before. You would think with a song like Mississippi it would have. Hmm

Also, what are C&W and C&A? Haha

Do I need to raise a ticket?

Yes, please raise a ticket. I've tried out both of those and they are both working fine for me so hopefully, it will be an easy fix.

People that feel the need to be snarky.

You know the ones that manage to twist in a dig even when it is not necessary. Those that find a way to slip in something negative even when it's none of their business. Yeah, those people.

Also, cheesecake now that I read Etairay's post.

I've never heard of Pussycat but I dislike the Pussycat Dolls so I'll go with Pussycat.

Be a vampire or a werewolf?

Needful Things by Stephen King

Up next is The Egg by Andy Weir

I'm watching The Chestnut Man.

I've got the new season of You, Locke and Key Season 2, Another Life Season 2 (that I thought was canceled so I'm surprised to see), and Sex Education Season 3 on my list.

Chili. It will be perfect for this windy day.

At the top underneath Support FAQ is a sentence that says, "Here you can find..." at the end of that sentence is raise a ticket. Click that.

Once there, just follow the steps to raise a support ticket.

Dune.

I was not disappointed at all and I'm excited about another one. They are in talks to make it a full trilogy since the book itself is broken into three parts. Dune, Dune Messiah, and Children of Dune.

On a side note, it really does need to be seen on the big screen.

I think it would depend on who it's about, but I'll go with fictional.

WYR go to the Drive-In or the movie theater?
