Will the error check be turned on today (Wednesday) ?

I had to be absent for 5 days and yesterday (Tuesday 16/12)
I decoded 9B however I would only get a score of 99%

I am failing to see any error in my decrypt.
I have :
1502 letters in my plaintext (same count as ciphertext)
20 X’s are the in ciphertext
21 x’s in my plaintext, the last one at the end,
removing that or any one x will make the letter count (1501) wrong.

Yes, we have just switched on the feedback and are posting a news item about that. Good luck hunting the mistake! Harry
