IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded 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!

Hi Christine!

Would you be willing to update the MW, for me? For some reason, the magic window will not display on my computer. Everything else on the website works. I am not sure what the problem is, but I have delayed so long on this project, I did not want to wait longer. I will be trying to figure out the problem.

Christine, I can view the MW now,and I can access the workflow area however, when I click on The Last Tennant, it kicks me back to the login page. Over and over. Any suggestions? I appreciate you being willing to update the window for me.
