We had a glitch that caused some stories to lose their category choices.
Some lost 1, some lost 2 and some lost 3. Usually what happened is the one
on the top went away and the others moved up.

So, let's begin here: Authors who are members and can read this, check your
stories. You can change the categories, even on Completed nominations.

Author Liaisons, check the stories assigned to you. The only stories
effected should be ones that were edited within the last day. I noticed
that some of the effected stories had 3 categories when I sent my e-mails,
so unless the author wanted the categories different, I can use my Sent
Items to set them back to what they were. If you even clicked Edit Data and
didn't make a change at all, the categories probably still got dropped.

Do that much and we'll see where that leaves us. We may have to go back to
Authors or Nominators for fixes.

The glitch, by the way, is fixed. It shouldn't happen again.

Thanks.

Hi, Ainae.

I just logged in, and I got a message NOT to edit my nominations
until further notice. Is it OK to do so now, after said glitch?

Yes, it's safe now. We've got the glitch ironed out. Hit the 'reload
language file' link to clear the message.
