Mahalo is adding a tip to all questions that don't offer a tip.

How to recover a work-in-progress Mahalo Task? My initial try was rejected with feedback on how to improve it. I asked for clarification but

my query to contact@mahalo.com and the reviewer went unanswered. Now all my work on How to Become a CIO is gone. I didn't make a backup as the rejected version was still available and I was working on addressing the feedback provided.

Hopefully I can be given a copy of the work submitted to date. Does anyone know if this is possible?

You should be able to go into your profile (Click your name next to welcome in the upper right hand corner) and then click the tab labeled "tasks". The task will be there still as well as your work and the feedback given at the end.

You simply make the recommended changes and hit "submit". :D

I was scared the first time I got a rejection too because I thought all my work was lost.

Yes your previous work should still be saved. Try sending another direct message to the user that reviewed your task if you need more clarification. If you still don't get an answer, just make the corrections as best you can and resubmit.

Thanks for advice. I went to my Tasks/Rejected Tasks and clicked on the task. It comes up with the unclaimed task and button "claim this task". That's reason I posted the question ... I double checked per your advice ... and will contact Mahalo again.

Hmm.. it does say in the Mahalo page How to Join the How To Team

Quote----------

"If your submission is rejected, the Mahalo guide who looked over your work will offer you constructive feedback and, in most cases, will offer you a chance to try again. You will be offered an opportunity to reclaim the task and fix whatever was missing. In some special cases, a guide may choose to open up the task to different users, and it will return to the Mahalo Tasks front page."
End Quote-----------
I've never had a task rejected where I had to reclaim it, but that last line of the quote may have been what happened to you. Perhaps they reopened it to other users.

mahalo has been having a lot of tech difficulties.. they are working them out daily but this could be one of the bugs.. i would try contacting them again and see what they say... Its probably not just you this happened to.

Mike !

Thanks for answering. It doesn't get my data back but makes me feel better. I finally reached someone and apparently all the messages I sent via the contact web page hasn't reached anyone either. As you say - probably just not me.

I should note that once you reach someone on Mahalo staff they are quite helpful and do what they can.
