General Question

There are several challenges I'd like to renew for 2020, but only one of them I created. Most of them are repeat annual challenges. Do I need to recreate those for 2020, then have you add the icons, or are those challenges standard ones that get renewed more or less automatically? I realize it's the new year and you are busy, so maybe not everything is up yet?

Thank you and Happy New Year!

I'm trying to renew the 12 in 12 and Second best challenges but keep getting 500 db errors. Hopefully this will be resolved sometime.

I am getting that same error for the Killer Bs II Challenge. I was changing the number of books in the levels and it gave me the error. It did this before with a different challenge. I hope the problem gets resolved soon, too as I can't list my challenges or access the Killer Bs challenge because of it.

Every challenge has a host who created it. If it's one of your challenges you can re-create it for the new year. If it was somebody else's challenge you should give them a few days to make it for the new year. If it does not come back after a week or so we can contact that person and see if they're going to renew it. If they are not then anyone else that wants to can renew it.

No hard rules or anything, but we should give everyone a chance to continue their challenges. It usually take a few weeks for things to settle out. I do the WoGF every year but have not gotten around to it yet cause I have lots of things going on just after the first.

As for the 500 error, I don't know what is going on there and unfortunately I don't have any help at the moment to research/fix it. I'm left hoping it will just go away and that everyone will be patient until then. Nobody is as frustrated as I am, I can assure you all.
