Msg# 4058

duplicate nomination: In the Hands of the King Posted by Marta Layton April 26, 2005 - 20:31:34 Topic ID# 4058
Hey guys,

I noticed tonight that I had approved too nominations of the same
story: Gwynnyd's drabble "In the Hands of the King":

022. "In the Hands of the King" by Gwynnyd -- nom. by Dwimordene
403. "In the Hands of the King" by Gwynnyd -- nom. by me

I think the best solution is for me to delete the later nomination
(#403). I've already emailed Gwynnyd to let her know I'm doing this.
The problem is, when I delete the nomination I think it will also
delete any votes that have been cast for #403. So if you've voted for
#403, you need to repost that nomination to #022. Here's what you do.

1. Log in to http://gabrielle.sytes.net/MEFA2005/index.php
2. Click on "Browse stories".
3. Type "in the hands of the king" into the search field and click
"search".
4. Click the "edit review" link besides nomination #403.
5. Copy your review (control-a and then control-c on a Windows mahcine,
or apple-a and then apple-c on a mac).
6. Hit "save reivew".
7. Click on "browse stories".
8. Type "in the hands of the king" into the search field and click
"search".
9. Select "enter new review" beside nomination #022.
10. Select draft, tentative, or final status, whatever you want.
11. Click in the "story review" field and paste your review from #403
(control-v on a windows machine or apple-v on a mac).
12. Click "save review".

Now your old review has been cast with #022. When I delete nomination
#403, your old review will automatically be deleted.

I'll delete nomination #403 some point tomorrow night (probably around
this same time, 9:30 PM US East Coast time). If anyone needs more time
to move their review, let me know. If I delete the nomination before
you have a chance to move your vote you can still vote for the other
nomination (#022), but you'll have to vote again; your old review won't
be available for you to copy-and-paste from.

Marta
