Not seeing competition entry option

30 Jul 2018

Trying to submit to the latest competition, but I'm not seeing the "competition section" or "relevant button" as described on the competition info page:

"There is a competition section added to the Story Submission page beneath the usual story categories. Please make sure you check the relevant button, otherwise your story will not be entered into the competition."

Am I just going blind/crazy? (Totally possible) Or has it been removed already? I realize today's the deadline, but the competition is still marked as open, so...

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

It looks as though Gav's code fix hasn't worked.

I'll give him a nudge.

Apologies! Your entry will be included one way or another, rest assured.

Thank you for the quick and helpful reply! Just let me know if I can do anything on my end to help!

No worries!

I could change the deadline on the competition, so your entry goes in, but that might prevent Gav being able to fault find!

If I don't hear from him in the next day or so, I'll just do that regardless.

We have another member who has experienced the same problem. I have asked him to post here.

I'm not sure when Gav will be able to get to this, so I've set an artificial deadline on the software side, for the 2nd August. The actual deadline is 31st July.

Hopefully this is fixed for the next comp. cputhrow

I had the same problem and was not able to select the competition. My story "Hot in the City" https://has already been reviewed and approved. I had included a note for the moderator that it should be added to the competition, but it doesn't appear to have been. Is there any way to include it, now that it has been published?

I knew there were two hard things in computer programming, cache invalidation and naming things. Now we have a third contender, timezone offsets.

Ok competition should be available again for one more day.
