Nice series!

It is actually a known bug with the later Chrome versions but can be fixed if you use Firefox, I have the same problem along with all others who have Chrome regularly updated!

It's the computer I use at work. It adds the wrong missions and I can even add more then 5 pictures and missions. Thanks for catching it and I will fix it.

Hi Janet, you accidentally added this duck to a squirrel mission, can you remove it please.
