    My daughter is trying to submit her pic for todays activity. (sat. Aug 6) We have entered the password and have tried several times, The page says that it is private and the page is not published. She has entered every day this week and would hate to miss the last day. This happened a couple of times on our laptop this week but worked on my phone. Now we get the same message on the phone. We have entered the password with all caps. Please help.

    Celia Varady says:

    I just realized that the entry I submitted yesterday may not have come through as a clickable link. When I view yesterdays submissions, mine is only coming up with my title. It was a Google Doc, and the privacy setting wasn’t set to “anyone can view”. I’ve fixed it, but wanted to make sure you are able to view it. How can I check? Is there a way that I can re-submit it?

    Hello, I am wondering about the Mermaid Mania. I already registered and today when I tried to do my monday activity, it asked me to enter my password. I entered all the passwords I knew and none of them worked. I already checked my email several times and nothing has shown up. What do I do? Thanks, Tess
