Question For Moderator

Missing Upload

from WinCustomize Forums
I've had problems uploading to the site for a few weeks now, but as luck would have it, today the upload went without a hitch. The progress bar showed a steady upload and the end result was " upload complete " I got the final screen that says " Because of your user status your upload will appear in one minute "

Its been 40 minutes +
I've exited site and deleted all cookies and temp files.
The upload is nowhere to be found. Its not even showing in my own personal Gallery.
I've never had an upload once completed that didn't show up in the usual 1 minute waiting period. So I'm not sure what to do. Did it not really go through ? Is it just stuck in upload limbo?

I don't want to re-upload the Widget Pack and complicate things further.

Could someone please check and let me know what to do.

Thanks

Widget File name is :

It's gone to limbo   It's in a place called 'In Processing', whatever that is. I can see the screenshot failed though, so you will need to update that.

Moving it into the moderation queue now pending your update

I just need to upload the preview again ?
I hope so because the widget file takes 13 minutes ( if Im lucky ) to upload again.

Thank you Michael.

Ok, I've re-uploaded the file as well as the preview - it appears to have uploaded properly.

Im not sure why it says I have to wait 5 days for my upload to be processed. Is this just a fluke that the site is not recognising my Journeyman status at the moment ?

Once again, thank you for your help Michael. I appreciate it.

If it's a re-upload due to system failure it's probably being 'seen' as an update...which all go through moderation...hence the 5 days thingie...

Is it a bad idea to upload on weekends? I mean will modding take longer say for ex today?

Maybe not seeing as I'm the only "citizen" with auto-approve, eh Jafo

No, not really...but if there's a site/uploading glitch over the weekend chances are it'll take till Monday before anyone's in a position to deal with it.

I heard a rumour that the SD crew have Real Lives [tm] outside of the office.

 

Of course....the moon's made of green cheese, too.....

I had the same problem with uploading my files. Someone recommended that I should use the old upload page (upload.aspx). I haven't had a problem since.

I understand that ..but it went to mod queue the first time I uploaded it - I couldnt find it, Michael told me it was there.

Should I just delete the whole thing and start over ?

It's still broken   

Your squigle is a bit iffy today

Try a fresh upload, might work... Which upload page are you using, old or new?

I used the new one - but usually if thats not working I go to old upload page .

The new upload page lied to my sqiggle and said it went through

Ok..deleting it and will try to upload through old page then if that fails me and my squiggle are going home.

Thanks for trying though..

Well...I deleted the original zip and the preview and uploaded a new renamed zip and renamed preview (using the old upload link this time). The upload went smoothly, and at the end it said it was approved and would be on site in 1 minute.

Well, back to where I started , the new zip is now listed in my drop down list as in " processing " again.

I can see the preview so Im not sure whats wrong this time.

Let me know if I should delete it again or just wait...

My and my squiggle thank you.

Karen, You're not alone ...

Same upl problems for me. I just upl a file call W3 Docks in OD category : The file is accepted, but no preview available
I tried to resize the jpg because I was afraid it was too big (1920x1200). I deleted the previous and re-upl a new one in 1280x800.

---------> idem !
So, same question for mods...

There's a large number of uploads in moderation which are broken. Looks like a wait for Stardock to fix it unfortunately

Has this issue been resolved ?

I've deleted my file and preview for the 3rd time and I don't want to upload it again if there is still a problem with uploads being in Processing limbo.
