Am trying to submit a story for Boz4PM and the database WON'T LET ME!

(keeps telling me the form is incomplete. Perhaps it is because Boz is the
first name on the author's list?)

Frustrated,
Lin

Whenever I add an author I find I have to start from scratch or it doesn't
work. Don't know why.

Lin,

I'm not sure what's up. Is Boz4PM a new author? What's supposed to
happen is this:

Click on the New Story link.
Click on the 'Add a new Author' link.
Enter the author's info, and click 'Add'
It takes you back to the New Story link, with your new author selected
from the list (maybe it's first in the list, I don't remember).
Finish entering data, and submit the new story.

Some of the link names above won't be right, because I didn't actually
look, but that's the basic workflow, I think.

Can you try again, to see if it works? If it doesn't, please send me
all the story info, and I'll log in as you and try myself, so I can see
exactly what's happening.

Thanks,
Anthony

Anthony, when I've added authors it has only worked when I got out of the
nomination form entirely and then started again, selecting the new name from
the list. I don't know why, I just know that I've had to do it every time.

Hi Lin,

I'm sorry you're frustrated. I haven't had this problem because I
haven't had to add any authors. So I'm not sure how much help I am.

I think RabidSamFan suggested closing the form and trying to nominate
the story again. Basically, after you add the author, click "overview",
then the link to nominate a story and fill out the form again. If that
doesn't work I hope Anthony will be able to tell us how to fix this.

Thanks,
Marta
