🎃 Hallowe'en Treasure Hunt 2023; hints for 5

Jack-o-lantern 5

Two years ago we made this list,
A monthly custom in which all assist,
This time devoted to stories scary,
To books that leave us spooked and wary. (Abigail)

8 Petroglyph: #5: Every month, LT highlights a List of the Month, the latest of which should be visible in the news feed on your Homepage. The riddle straight-up tells you which particular one you need to click to get the jack-o-lantern.

10 Maddz: #5 gave me the most trouble. I actually went to the correct page several times but didn't get a pumpkin until I refreshed the page...

20 norabelle414: You can either 1) go to Home > lists to browse (you can change any of the modules there to show up to 100 rows) or 2) search using the site search and then select "lists" from the left menu

29 paradoxosalpha: Look at the talk group for List of the Month. It provides an index via thread titles.

25 anglemark: It's the page for a thing that happened two years ago.

77 SandyAMcPherson: for possibly those with refresh angst ...

Posts regarding this "refreshing" difficulty brings to mind that perhaps-maybe-possibly (?) what you're doing with your specific operating system is not clearing the cache and replacing the webpage with the latest version.

On a a Mac (Apple), to refresh (replace the webpage), you hold down the shift key while clicking the refresh symbol ↻ in the browser bar. I've had absolutely no trouble collecting the Jack O'Lanterns.

>2 humouress: I have done all of those things to find #5. Found a relevant list from two years ago, but got no pumpkin. When you say refresh page, exactly what do you mean? I am on an iPad.

>4 Micheller7:
Just hit the reload circular arrow Icon at the right edge of the address bar of your browser. After reloading, you should be able to see the lantern 🎃

For this one I actually found it easier to find the group where they discuss the lists, and find the thread that talks about that list, and then click the link from there than to search for the list directly

>4 Micheller7: Pretty sure I've also found the list from two years ago, but no pumpkin for me, either. Maybe need to clear the cache? Sigh.

ETA: Ok, didn't need to clear the cache, but as someone mentioned above, although I'd been on the page a few times already, I actually needed to refresh the page once I was already on it to get the pumpkin!

169 Randomz: "Two years ago we made this list"
So it's the list 2 years ago.

170 mr.philistine: Per 29 paradoxosalpha: search for the Group named 'List of the Month'. The first pinned thread titled 'Welcome' has links to every LOTM page. Check for the current month but 2 years back and refresh the page if it doesn't register your find.

>8 humouress: Thank you! This was the information I needed!!

Having to refresh the page after going to it was a real nasty trick.

206 BookConcierge: Search for a list that has key phrases from the clue in the title "scary"

207 krazy4katz: I thought that too, but it was the one exactly 2 years ago instead

203 PawsforThought: Go to the page you think it should be and then refresh the page.
