IMPORTANT! Black and White Challenge Tag Issue and Change

October 10th, 2020
There is an on-going issue with the tag for the latest Black and White challenge (Panning). We apologize for this and ask for your understanding and patience as well as your help.

The host, Sue @suez1e, noticed that the tag ‘bw-57’ had already been used so she asked for advice on what to do. There was some discussion, and it was decided that adding the year of this tag would differentiate the two tags.

BUT - We did not realize that tags with two hyphens will not work unless quotation marks are put around it like this “bw-57-2020”

Please edit your tag if you have entered this challenge by adding the quotations around it.

We will extend this challenge by a week to give everyone an opportunity to get this done.

Again – our apologies!

@farmreporter I'm a little puzzled by this as I have never had a problem with two hyphens in tags. Last month, as usual in September, I ran the NF SOOC September challenge for which the tag was nf-sooc-2020 without quotation marks and there are 476 posts with this tag.

Okay - I must admit that I am totally confused.
What I do when I want to find entries to a certain challenge is tag any old photo of my own with the tag of that challenge by copy-paste method. I am then able to grab the link for the entries for the Weekly SH*T list. There were no entries at that point that I could see.
I also noticed that the entries link for the B&W challenge did not turn blue when I posted the Weekly SH*T list.
I hope you are able to follow along here ...
So, that is when I checked the tag and discovered nothing in the entries. Even my photo was missing.
That was when I assumed that two hyphens would not work.
And - go figure - it still does not work fro me if I type the both methods (hyphens and quotations)
BUT - it does work if I copy and paste Kali's tag into my photo.
There must be some glitch somewhere but I sure do not know where it is.
Sorry to have caused all this confusion.
