Bugs in our Soup

<p>Well, I thought it was probably about time that I posted a blog and, with bugs in our Soup, this is possibly not the most auspicious moment to choose!</p>
<p>Christie and I are very excited about the entries received into our <strong><em>Places of Magnificent Inspiration</em></strong> contest, and look forward to receiving lots more – unfortunately, that part of the site is inaccessible at the moment, but hopefully the technical folk at PS will spot and fix the error soon (it is a very simple fix!). So, get writing and be prepared to enter our contest when the chefs get the Soup’s recipe sorted again, or see my notes further down…</p>
<p>While things are broken, if anyone is frustrated by not being able to edit one of their poems, it can still be done as follows:</p>
<p>Take a note of your poem’s ID, which is the number at the end of the URL in the address bar when you view it.</p>
<p>Paste the following into your address bar with your poem’s ID added to the end…</p>
<p>https://www.poetrysoup.com/member_area/edit_my_poem.aspx?PoemID=</p>
<p>Hey presto! You will still get the error when you click on submit, but just ignore it and go to another page as you would when posting.</p>
<p>It is possible to enter one of the contests by clicking on the appropriate link below.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a workaround for deleting duplicate poems because they are using a database script from the "My Poems" page, which contains the embedded error!
