Hi all,

Hope this finds you doing well. Today's edition of The Friday Fix is chock-full of information. We're covering four topics -- one that's big news, and three that have come up here at Seed this week in our communications with you:

BIG NEWS: Your Page View Counter is Counting Again!
As some of you might have noticed, your page view counter on your dashboard was not displaying correct information. We've corrected the issue, and now you can see just how far your voice is carrying when you write for Seed. (Some voices may carry farther than others, depending on what site your work appears on, along with the site's PVs and any additional promotion the site and/or your work received during the timeframe when your work published.)

The page view count you see is retroactive -- meaning, it's representative of your total page views to date. And it will continue to tally your PVs going forward as your content is read on our broad and growing network of sites. It will be updated around 7am ET daily for now, and soon it will start to be updated multiple times each day.






Next Up ... Confirming Your Review Dates

1) Using text paste buttons. When you are ready to copy in your text, instead of using a simple paste command, place your cursor in the text editing window (where you write your article) and click the Paste from Word or Paste as Plain Text editing buttons to import your text without the hidden formatting.



2) Composing your article in Seed. Seed is an intuitive, easy-to-use platform that mirrors most word processing programs. To safeguard against losing your work, follow the time-tested mantra: save early and save often! We also encourage you to copy your work to an outside word processing program and save it to your computer files, so that you retain a permanent record of it.
PLUS ... NO MORE LOST CLAIMS!
Some of you have noticed that when you claim and assignment and then pull the claim -- either by choice or by accident -- it disappears from your Recommended Assignments queue. No longer!

Our terrific development team (hi, guys!) has fixed this so that when this happens, the assignment returns to the listing. So, if you change your mind and want to re-claim the assignment, you're able to do so.

And while we have you, you'll notice that the page view graph on your Dashboard has temporarily been removed. Not to worry. Our developers are making some adjustments and it will return soon.

Have a great weekend!

• First, locate your assignment title in your Work In Progress folder located at the top left of your dashboard. Click on the time remaining and a pop-up box will display the assignment information.

• Or, click on your assignment title in your Work In Progress folder located at the top left of your dashboard. This will open up your assignment's 'Write' page. Click on the blue assignment title link and a pop-up box will display this information.

• Hours: If it's 9:32am ET and the assignment indicates it is due in 3 hours, this doesn't literally mean 12:32pm ET. Instead, we round down, so the actual due time is 12 noon ET.
  
  
• Days: Example: It's Tuesday and there are five days left before the assignment is due. Do not include the current day when calculating the due date. So, in this case, the due date is Sunday. Once Sunday arrives, the deadline will switch over to hours left.
