Hey there Matthew! Do you need a DPL for this, or do you have one already set up? Because I would be happy to be DPL for you!

I wouldn't want anyone better for a DPL! Hop on board!

[philchenevert]

Hot ziggedy dog. I will set this up for you.

[RVPMatt123]

Thanks very much! I'll be looking forward to getting started real soon

[RVPMatt123]

I've just realised. It's been so long since I've done this, I've forgotten how to edit the magic window XD

If either Mozart or Phil can give me a reminder, it'd be greatly appreciated

[Mozartjr]

If you click on "BC Admin" right below the MW, it will ask you to log in. You will have to put in the log in info you created for that whenever you first began; If you forgot it, I believe that there is a Forgot Password option. Then it will take you to the MW and you can edit it from there. Make sure you hit enter after you put in chapter titles or something; that is the only way it will save
Hopefully this helps,

I had a feeling it was that! I'll get it sorted now

[RVPMatt123]

I'm noticing that Sign of the Four has been added twice into my management dashboard? Is there a reason for that at all?

I'm glad to see you sorted out that Magic Window stuff. But I'm not sure what you are referring to about your dashboard. Please explain and I'll see what is happening.

Hi Dave. You can certainly record this book but it will have to be as a new project; a solo. I will help you get this set up and am sending you a private message on how to start.

Phil, I actually happened to notice while I was updating our project status table that something funny was going on with this project. It looks like this one was accidentally created as a new project twice, under project numbers 18224 and 18225. I'm in the database now, so I will go ahead and repurpose that extra unneeded project number. No worries!

Yes, this was what I was on about! Thanks for getting this sorted, Felix, I appreciate it

[philchenevert]

Oh thank you. I noticed the double problem too and was going to need to set aside some time to remember how to re purpose it. You have saved me the trouble!! As to why there are two I don't know but it is certainly something my excited fingers and I did.
