It's funny...I don't seem to have to sign in twice anymore. I wonder why the system works differently for different computers. Weird. Anyway, I don't know when the official challenge will change, but we can always pose our own challenges, either in the forum as a special thread, or use the Writers Gallery/Challenge Genre to post the results, and provide links on a thread. This has the advantange of allowing comments, for those who want them, to be posted with the written material. Disadvantage is that the comments are spread. The only ones who can post a challenge on the front page are moderators/coordinators or people given permission on a limited basis to be contest managers. dido6 and midrael might be open to that suggestion if someone requested being the contest manager for an upcoming challenge. One idea other forums have used is that a second coordinator is added who can support the other two. I know recently the Paint Shop Pro forum got a new moderator and added a coordinator because dreamsosweet was absent for a long period of time. It makes sense to have back ups but it may depend on what staff is available. Some of this depends on the interest level of the forum members.
