Yeah, I tossed it. The bit about having to get it right and show work to be approved makes it feel like it is someone's homework. And if they are willing to cheat on that, who's to say they won't cheat me out of $25 even if I could figure it out.

Dear god the new server just SUCKS. "Malformed message Your message subject or body is missing or exceeds the maximum length. Please revise and try submitting your message again." They can't even count the damn characters as I go like the old server? Seriously, are they THAT bad at programming? I am pretty sure a rank amateur with maybe a single semester of programming behind them could pull it off. Clearly they simply just don't give a damn.
want to waste a few more minutes on it? report the problem, get no response, have nothing fixed several months later
It says the limit is 1000 characters. I pasted my message into a character counter on another site: exactly 1000 characters. I can just guess what they did wrong. Amateur hour.
