Just a question, not a reproach. But how is it possible that some participants' diaries are already 14 weeks old, even though the contest only started three or four days ago? Next to that wish you all of the luck of the world !๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ™Œ
MonyetDiablero
MonyetDiablero commented7d ago
@growerschoice, Can't wait to see the participants' diaries, thank you for clarifying this and hopefully this bug will be fixed soon.
