Have you registered for the 2019 Source-a-Thon yet? [closed]

Question

October 4 - October 7 — the start of Family History Month — is our fourth annual "Source-a-Thon"!

This three-day event is for a good cause (sourced genealogy!), there will be thousands of dollars worth of door prizes donated from around the genealogy community, and it will be lots of fun.

The marathon starts Friday, October 4 at 8 AM (ET) and ends Monday, October 7, 8 AM (ET) but you don't need to participate the whole time (!). If you can join for any of it, please post an ANSWER below saying either the team you'd like to be on (see the team list) or your genealogical interests or geographic location and we'll assign a team before the start of the event.

Sorry, I'll be in Ohio and unable to participate this time.

We're a fun group where we focus mostly on Australian profiles, but, really, anywhere at all is fine if all you want is to be with a bunch of whacky wizards from Down Under! Everyone is welcome to join us, including people who just like Australia

Just click ANSWER (not comment, or reply) and say you want to be a Wizard of Aus, or even use our older name Team Australia, to get registered.

If you have any questions, just ask on our team page — or shoot me, or Team Leader Kathleen, or Margaret, any of our other members a private message.

You'll even get your very own Wizard of Aus hat (if you don't already have one)!

Don't forget our  chat thread!

(Disclaimer: I am just the self-appointed unofficial greeter, not the Team Leader.)

Hello Eowyn:

All of the registration links at the Source-a-Thon page for October 4-7, 2019 point to the old G2G post.

---

I'm interested, but don't have a team

---

Yes, I want to participate. It will be my first time!

Marilyn, you have ANSWER the post. A comment is not enough.

Legacy Heirs would love to have you on our team. We do not work in any one specific place or at any set pace. You are free to beautify the tree and strengthen it at your own pace and in any place that suits you. Every profile sourced helps the tree, no matter if it is some sources added to verify the profile or a longer approach of studying and loving each profile.

That's still not an answer. 

You need to click the answer LINK under Eowyn's post:

Hi I would love to joint the Wizards of Aus for the source-a-thon if it is not too late! Thanks

---

Hi anonymous Karen. Thanks for signing in and answering below.

---

Carrie, you need to ANSWER, not comment or reply.

---

And just what was so bad about my saying someone needed to answer, not reply or comment, that it needed to be hidden?

You would rather the person missed out?

---

Now, Melanie, you know no good deed goes unpunished! Shame about that, love your helpful attitude.

---

Melanie, I think something went wrong with the "show 30something previous responses".  I saw where the profiler involved has found her way into the answered list.   Later
as I was clearing my unwanted email list I came across the comment notice I had given her and your comment followed mine.
I couldn't remember what I had said so went back to see what was there and the "see"  line was so tiny I could hardly read it and all three of the comments were not there.
I couldn't find it and think they disappeared in the "see" contents.  Since she was registered I cleared my email and also the trash so I can't give you  anymore information.  I
remember being confused about why my comment was gone.  I don't feel your comment was singled out for being hidden although I can understand why you might think so.
If I hadn't been looking for my comment I wouldn't know all of this.  You and I have both given the same information about having to ANSWER and none of them were hidden
before.
Just my guess as to what may have glitched if no one else
has a better explanation.
Edit: added before

No. I am newby, not sure what it is?
