I validated on 25th since that was when it said that winning started, but I have a way of destroying computers so I don't know whether it worked. Are you supposed to get some sort of notification?
You were supposed to be redirected to a page as soon as you submitted your text. I see your purple bar, so it did work. You can go back to that page by going to "My NaNoWriMo" and clicking on "Collect Winner Goodies" (second link down)
You missed the validation deadline. If your bar is blue, you didn't validate on time.
Have no fear! We're not going going to leave you behind. If you'll head down to the Tech Help forum and follow the late validation process, we'll make sure that no author gets left behind thanks to technical difficulties. Remember that time is of the essence, as there's a deadline if you want to get your special offer codes offered to this years' winners by our awesome sponsors, so don't delay!

Should I be notified of my validation?
Hi everyone,
I validated on 25th since that was when it said that winning started, but I have a way of destroying computers so I don't know whether it worked. Are you supposed to get some sort of notification?
Thanks

Re: Should I be notified of my validation?
I don't see any purple bars on anyone else's or on mine! What am I missing?
Re: Should I be notified of my validation?
I can see your purple bar, jobydog, so don't worry! I think it's a glitch with certain systems.
Re: Should I be notified of my validation?
Thank you Coffeetailor!
Re: Should I be notified of my validation?
Ah yes, thank you both A.L More and Coffeetailor. I couldn't see the purple bar either, but now I can.
Re: Should I be notified of my validation?
Can anyone see mine?
I'm starting to panic!
