Hey guys,
With the end of the 2010 awards just a few days off, this will be a light
post. I want you to spend your time reading stories rather than reading
announcements. Mainly, I just wanted to remind everyone of two things:
****************************************
VOTING ENDS ON DECEMBER 15
The last day you can vote for the MEFAs is Wednesday, December 15. If you
want to enter any reviews, you must enter them by 11:59 PM on that day.
Remember: The MEFA time zone is based on GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). This is
*not* your local time zone. To figure out when voting ends in your deadline,
simply reload any MEFA webpage and look for the "Page Served at:" line in
the bottom right corner. This displays the time when that webpage was last
loaded. You can see how many hours ahead of or behind this time is of your
local time, and use that to calculate what time in your local time zone
corresponds to the end of the awards.
*****************************************
CHANGE OVER YOUR DRAFT REVIEWS
If you have entered a draft review, you must change it to a hidden or final
review by the end of voting. Otherwise it will not be counted.
To review:
1. FINAL reviews are displayed and counted immediately, and cannot be edited
after you submit them.
2. HIDDEN reviews are automatically converted to final reviews at the end of
the awards. They will be displayed and counted at that point. They can be
edited up until then.
3. DRAFT reviews are never counted or displayed, unless they are changed to
some other type.
Only final and hidden reviews count toward your reviewing goal, if you set
one.
To change a review's status:
==> Log in to www.mefawards.net/MEFA2010/
==> Click the "Stories" link at the top of the page.
==> Click the link to display the filter.
==> Select "All Reviews" from the "Review Status" menu.
==> Click the "Display Selected Nominations" button.
==> Click the "Edit Review" link to the right of the appropriate story.
==> Change the Review Status to whatever you want.
==> Click "Save Validated Review."
The page you see when logging in will load, but this time with a green par
saying your review has been saved. When that happens you can rest assured
your review has the new status you want.
*******************************
And that's it! Happy reviewing, and I'll see you all on the other side.
Marta
