[David O'Donnell]

This one hasn't been linked to Corral. I am sure someone is aware of that fact but thought I'd point it out anyway. I think you have to put in the URL now Stuart instead of the message number but otherwise the submission process is the same. Anyway, I am sure Charlie can sort it.

[Charlie Reams]

I'd rather not keep sorting it myself, that's why we have a submission page. The submission system is simpler now, as you can just copy & paste the entire web address, so I think it's more likely that Stuart just forgot.

[David O'Donnell]

Yes, sorry. I sometimes forget you have a life outside Countdown I could submit it but then it would under my recap ID and screw up your records.

[Stuart Earl]

OK - I'm a bear with little brain. I thought I'd done what was required. I tried to do precisely what the recap writer told me to do. I copied the recap and pasted it into the link supplied in the recap writer. It didn't guide me to do anything else. What have I missed?

[Charlie Reams]

You need to submit to the recap index, just like before. The recap writer does provide a link to that page, including filling in as many of the details as possible. The only difference is you now paste in the entire web address of the forum post, rather than the Yahoo message number. Also, David, you can submit things under someone else's name - the password is universal. It operates on the basis that there's no benefit in fraudulently attributing your own recap to someone else!

[Stuart Earl]

Right. I think I've done it. As you correctly guessed, I forgot to do the usual because I was so excited to do it straight to the forum.

Have a good weekend.
