Confirming new decks

Unread post by Timmargh »

What is the system for confirming new decks that are added to the site, and who makes the decisions? Time after time I've added new decks only to see others appear that have been added after mine, but with no sign of mine for days, sometimes weeks, later. I may sound peevish, but it gets frustrating.

Is adding new decks working still?

I have gone to a bit of trouble to Add the 1881 original Tiger Brand No.101 that Jackson super generously gifted me, including resizing about 20 pics for the gallery. (Adding them to my entry takes time too)
THREE TIMES I have gone through this whole rigmarole because after I hit Create, all I see is a Log In request !!!!!!!!!
FOUR times - I tried again without the gallery

Is there somebody we can contact?

If the images are too large in size, this is an issue that occurs, unfortunately. Could it be that?

No kev, that is what took me time before even before trying to add them to P52 - I resized 17 images that I was going to put in the gallery and made sure the two tuck images, that everybody has to post, were under 5mb

I will see how I go today, maybe making the tuck images even smaller and no gallery pics - if that does not work I will know that it is not me

Hey kev you :ucstar:
I made the tuck pics a really small file size and added no gallery pics and it seems to have worked

I say 'seems to have' for I can see the page and it is in my collection but when I search for it, it does not come up
Maybe there is an interim stage where it is still awaiting approval

Hi flyers (pun intended :D ) if you have any clout are the gallery pics I submitted in the pipeline Along with the tag 'Tigers' as it should be found when one does a search for Tigers as it is the first but I felt I had to call it Tiger Brand (no plural) as that is what it says on the slipcase

I was able to see 2 revisions that you submitted and approved both. There should be some gallery pictures and the 'Tigers' tag.

Thanks so much flyers :ucstar: :ucstar: :ucstar: :ucstar: :ucstar: - keep an eye out for one more revision as I have contacted Jason McKinstry to check some facts eg I am now pretty sure it was a tuck box

The last couple of decks that I have added to the db seem to be there FOR ME but do not show up in a search
Rocketeer. Pack of Dogs.
I would understand if they have to be authorized but one hopes that it happens as it is a time commitment to add a deck what with pics etc

I believe it's standard procedure for anyone labeled "contributor" on the site to login and approve them. It all depends on who checks the site at any given time, which I wouldn't be surprised doesn't happen daily.

I think there were four decks that you submitted. Sorry, I'm lucky if I'm checking once a week. There used to be more of us approving, but it seems to have dwindled down lately.

We appreciate your work flyer. I understand what it is like to be left holding the basket - I am the sole moderator for a forum for one of my other hobbies
