Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I count the same book for several categories or can I use it only once?

No, it can only count for one category, even if it fits many.

2. How do I paste the picture of the Bingo card into my post?

‣ After clicking on the link, your Bingo card is generated. Take a screenshot of it.
‣ You now need to upload the screenshot image file, and get a publicly available URL (web address) for it. Go onto the website https://imgur.com/upload and upload your file. Once it's uploaded, click the Copy link button to copy your image's URL.
‣ Go back to your post on this discussion thread. Copy the following code and paste it into your post, replacing YOUR_URL_HERE with your URL.
<img src="YOUR_URL_HERE.jpg">
Be sure there is a '.jpg' tacked onto the end of your URL. So if your URL was  𝚑𝚝𝚝𝚙𝚜://𝚒𝚖𝚐𝚞𝚛.𝚌𝚘𝚖/𝚊/𝚎𝚑𝚁𝚝𝚋𝙼  your code should look like  <𝚒𝚖𝚐 𝚜𝚛𝚌="𝚑𝚝𝚝𝚙𝚜://𝚒𝚖𝚐𝚞𝚛.𝚌𝚘𝚖/𝚊/𝚎𝚑𝚁𝚝𝚋𝙼.𝚓𝚙𝚐">

3. Does "translated from another language" have to have been an English translation?

It simply has to have been translated from the original into some other language. If you normally read books in French, for example, then it might be a Russian book translated into French, or the same book translated into English!
