One final--and crazy--question, JB:

I will be creating the Official NaPoWriMo Challenge thread in the Competition forum 1 hour from now.
All of the rules will be reiterated in the very beginning of it - please read them to ensure that you have not missed anything in the million or so pages this thread was.

From Yesterday's Update! Hold on People!!!
Ahavati said:Good morning from the east coast U.S.A. crew, returnees, and cadets! We will be launching both the official challenge and its sister prompt challenge at 6:00 AM, EST ( GMT - 5 ). Australia and the like: you may go ahead and write today, then post to the comp tomorrow! After that you should be on track.
Once the challenges have been launched, please remember the following:
YOU MUST COPY/PASTE YOUR POEM TO THE CHALLENGE. Please ignore the "Enter Competition" button at the bottom. These entries cannot be shared from your DU profile. However, after you paste to the challenge, you can post to your DU profile.
Also. . .
1. The title of this thread will be changed from Registration to Discussion. This means any questions, comments, blowing a gasket, screaming, questioning the Universe as to why you did this, begging for mercy on the rules, etc. will be posted here throughout the challenge.
2. Absolutely no banter, off-topic comments, suggestions, blowing a gasket, screaming, questioning the Universe as to why you did this, begging for mercy on the rules, etc. are permitted in the challenges.
Any such will be removed by a moderator.
3. Additionally, no graphics or images are allowed to accompany the poems in the challenges, with the exception of script graphics and daily roll call by Team NaPo.
The Team has a lot of responsibility and need to focus on submissions, not fish through pages of banter and/or memes/images/graphics.
4. This is a HUGE NaPo, PLEASE DO NOT MESSAGE THE TEAM DIRECTLY. They will be busy with their assigned duties as well as writing. If you have an open question, come to this thread. If it's private, then please message Johnny or me. If we're not connected through DU, please email poeticmedics@gmail.com.
5. Believe in yourself, and the ability to complete NaPo. Remember, this is NOT a competition; we are all equal. This is a writing CHALLENGE, which allows you to step out of the box in regards to perfection and capabilities.
If you have not yet familiarized yourself with the rules, please do so BEFORE the challenge begins.
We wish you each the best of luck throughout this challenge and are here to fully support you. YOU GOT THIS!

I’ve posted poem but for some reason I can’t get the bold and underline to work for the title now I’ve tried 5 times and now I’ve given up if this disqualifies me then so be it. Technology sucks when it don’t do what it’s supposed to do

AP, report the bug to the Webmiss. Are you highlighting then selecting the B button? We understand about technological hell. You wouldn't believe what we went through this morning getting these comps posted.

You don't need to underline the title.
Just try the bold.

try bold and between the brackets add the underline. Worked for me

AP, if we let technological glitch get the best of us this morning, there wouldn't be a competition posted at all. Don't allow that to dissuade you from participating. There is no need to be embarrassed for something that is not your fault.
