Show Prep

[seejase]

The last 2 or 3 stories I've submitted said pending for approval but then they never get approved or denied. The captcha works fine. Just not sure where the story went.

They go to the "upcoming stories" page (look for the button on the main page), where they await positive and negative responses. Enough positive responses, and they'll show up on the front page.

I get this message:
This Show Prep will be submitted for moderation and will not be accessible to other users until it has been approved.

The problem I'm having is that the stories are not being approved or denied either one. They are just disappearing. They are not in the upcoming stories cues either.

I believe this is Ian not getting around to approving your first submission (or subsequent submissions.) I think that's an anti-spam protocol he's got in place. Gotta wait to see what he has to say about it.

Thanks- It's been happening for several months, but I've submitted previously with no problem.

I see your last submission was approved, https://www.freetalklive.com/content/concordia_disaster_focuses_attention_how_cruise_industry_operates

Is everything ok now?

[seejase]

Thanks Ian. Seems to be working now.

So, here's the idiot's guide to submitting show prep: Apparently, I have been hitting the preview button but not the SAVE button at the bottom of the screen. I'm so embarrassed...
