Webbo! I've clicked something!
I thought, for once, I'd send an online entry for a writing competition. I managed to get all the way to the button which said 'Upload entry'. I clicked on it, expecting a form to come up, but what I saw were these things (which, handily, I wrote down):
f[1].txt f[2].txt log[1].txt log[2].txt
I had no idea what they meant. So, I thought, click on one to find out... I clicked on the first one to see what it was and then, in an instant, received a message to say that my entry had been received! No, it hasn't! I didn't give it to you. And I'm only allowed to enter once!
Bleat, bleat.
(
What should I do next?
It's telling me I have already entered. Can you tell your computer that I haven't and wipe away the error?

Oh dear. I'm not fit to be let loose.
Would that be a bit dramatic, do you think, like dialling 999 for a splinter?
When it's asking you for a file, it's from your local PC, not the server, so I think those documents f1.txt etc must be somewhere on your system - nothing sinister, I'm sure there are files all over most of our hard drives we don't look at and don't recognise - email me the correct file ([email protected]) and I'll swap it here.
And also have never written an animal poem, and know little about them, so probably not my forte.
Though I hardly think you would have needed to worry anyway!
Dear Webbo, I entered yesterday, but all I got was a message saying 'you have to be a subscriber of Writing Magazine to enter this competition'.
Well, I am a subscriber... and have had no email sent saying I have entered.
So - could you possibly check for me? Sorry!
UPDATE!!! It accepted me the second time of trying, so sorry to alert you to my non-problem!
I'll try again I think and log in again. I did use the tab from the day before...
*And relax*
Thanks, Nell.
Sorry, Webbo.
Are we ready for the weekend spam?
*and everything else*
