Site doesn't think I won.

When I go to the winner's page my Scrivener code isn't there.

Actually, my whole page appears a bit borked. When I go to look at my page it shows that I've written 52k words 'so far', but doesn't declare me a winner anywhere despite the fact that I validated before the last day, on the 28th or 29th I think. I was hoping to pick up Scrivener and start doing some serious editing on what I wrote during nanowrimo, but the site doesn't appear to think of me as a winner despite my 52k word total.

Help?

Heck, look to the left. 52478 words so far!

Did I forget to click a 'final validation' button or something?

You needed to upload your entire novel into the validator before midnight on November 30; that was the deadline. There is a thread at the top of this forum to help people who missed that deadline for technical reasons; maybe you can still validate, although you are now more than one month late! Please go read that thread for more information, it's called, "If you could not validate for technical reasons."

I'm just curious-- we're you unaware that November 30 was the deadline? There were validation questions and answers all over these forums.

What I should have said is, were you aware of HOW to validate before November 30; it sounds like you just updated your word count manually, without uploading. If you did upload, and there was some glitch, you may still be able to get help from the moderators.

I hope you get assistance.

I went through the validator because I didn't ever trust the counts Word was giving me and I don't like using second party sites like wordcounttool.com since I've got no way of really knowing if they aren't scraping whatever I enter in there.

Oh well. If I don't get the code, I don't get the code.

The codes are gone, unfortunately. The staff is still on Xmas holiday, but when they come back you may still be able to get the purple bar if you bother that.

As for codes, there is a "giveaway thread" (http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forum_comments/947100), somebody may still have an unused one hanging (there seems to be at least some just now, although at the first they went very fast, I found new happy owners to mine in an hour).
