Accidentally finished contest without choosing winners! HELP!
-
Hi! I'm somewhat new to urstyle, at least to the group-part.
I have a new group where I've held a contest. When I wanted to end the contest I clicked "finish", thinking that it would just stop people from being able to submit any new sets. But now I can't pick any winners anymore or rank them, which I saw before "finishing" the contest that I could. I can no longer edit the contest either.
Is there any way to reverse this so that I can choose winners for my contest?

@exianica I’m so sorry I wish I knew how to help, but I am also new and don’t know how.

Hey
I've seen someone else make this error. They compensated by choosing winners and posting links to their sets in a thread like this -
Unfortunately, there is no way to undo that. Finishing a contest means that you have closed all editing for the contest. However, if you want to still make an announcement of who the winners would have been for the contest and tag them, people will still acknowledge that and recognize them as official winners
This community is very understanding and will help you out! Hope that helps you, sorry that (at least based on what I have experienced) you couldn't undo the contest.

@sadcherrysoda @obviously @mayblooms aww, that's too bad, but now I know and can learn from my mistake and not do it again in the future at least. Thanks for the concern and help from all three of you!
