I didn't really like it either TBH, so I went back to the old theme (you can do that! Profile > Look & Layout > Current Theme > Core Theme)

Followed the directions. Doesn't seem to make a big difference, alas. The backgrounds are still light, and the dividers are still dark. Am not entirely sure what difference there is between "core" and current. . .

Is it just me or are others finding the new look website harder to read and less discernible than the previous version?

Thanks! I didn't know you could do that.

Group 2 will be posted sometime around 7pm EST today

What are the best social medias to find and promote?

This contest is like a box of grisly chocolates! And I mean that in a good way.

That’s the theory...

Sorry for the group 5 delay, folks! It's up now for your reading and voting pleasure!

Bdoomed · **Reply #61 on:** October 10, 2019, 04:07:59 AM

Also thanks for the birthday wishes!

Just dropping in to say how much I’m enjoying the contest! I’m learning so much from the other commenters and their thoughts on the stories. So glad Escape Artists sponsors these contests! Thanks!

It is hard to only be able to vote for 3 from each group. I am so impressed by the wide variety of fascinating stories being posted. Well done, everyone!

Bdoomed · **Reply #64 on:** October 15, 2019, 01:46:27 AM

My favorite dilemma is narrowing down favorites to only three. Competition is fierce!

Languorous Lass · **Reply #65 on:** October 15, 2019, 01:49:57 AM

I’m confused— got my dates mixed up. Wasn’t Group 8 supposed to be posted yesterday?

Aargh. Group 8 isn’t posted yet and I have to go to bed!

The schedule said that it would be posted yesterday. Maybe it was forgotten.

Thanks — for some reason I thought today was the 13th, so was waiting eagerly for the group to be posted. Then I checked my calendar and realized that the contest was running late. Can you give us any information, Bdoomed?

Bdoomed · **Reply #68 on:** October 15, 2019, 12:09:49 PM

There was a mixup in the chart I posted where I didn't skip a day in between groups 6 and 7 and 8 because I'm a silly goose. Group 8 will be posted sometime today, likely around noon or later! I'll also be updating that chart in the original post sometime on Wednesday (currently traveling which makes that type of update hard to do)

Languorous Lass · **Reply #69 on:** October 15, 2019, 04:45:41 PM

Gotcha—thanks!

Bdoomed · **Reply #70 on:** October 15, 2019, 05:30:36 PM

Group 8 has been posted!

therosepatch · **Reply #71 on:** October 15, 2019, 09:18:09 PM

Is the first quarterfinals going up today, too?

Bdoomed · **Reply #72 on:** October 15, 2019, 09:40:49 PM

They'll be going up tomorrow along with updates to group 4 winners -- I'm traveling the rest of today so I'm unable to get that all kicked off.

No worries, was just curious

Safe travels!
