IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated). Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Frank Bell is not in the author database so there will be a delay in setting this up. If you want to upload a file just insert "craigdav1" in the upload file name.
Let me know if anything needs fixing. It would be easier for me (as I'm still learning how to use my Admin magic wand!) if you uploaded the first three sections again. This time following the format and instructions shown above. Thanks in advance.
I re-edited 5 and put it in the MW. Not sure what happened, but when I saved it again today after doing the edits you pointed out, I went back to make a couple more adjustments and it appeared not to have taken. One line was unchanged, and I don't know how that's possible.
