RB Glitch?? by billyboy

Posted on November 07, 2011

Maybe someone else has experienced this after the recent changes to the RB interface…
If I try to enter one of my pieces in a challenge, I notice that only some of my portfolio shows on the selectable thumbnails… including my private works which never showed up previously.
In addition, I get this notice above the thumbnails (which are now all in a weird vertical line instead of filling the whole area):
“You have no works eligible to be entered in this challenge”

In addition, sometimes when I click on “view works” in a group, the space where my images in the group normally appear is empty.. then the box disappears !!

Not too much of a problem at the mo as I`m not entering any challenges now… but if anyone`s got the same thing going on it would be cool to know.

Cheers,
BillyB

    I don’t know about those, I will try – but in my written works section – all of a sudden half my writing has disapeared. The new updates on RB seem to cause havoc.

  • billyboy:

    WOW, I hope it all comes back!!
    The challenge thing was kind of an adventure…
    But losing your work? THAT’s a serious bummer.
    Best of luck Charmiene :-]

    I haven’t looked at these yet but I am fed up of the bmails !! when I send it comes out loads of times, last night I sent one and it sent it 5 times on the same message with slightly different words each time. It looks such a mess and as a host it doesn’t look very professional!
    Sort it out RB !!

  • billyboy:

    But nobody hardly sends me BMails anyways :-((

    Thank you for writing and explaining this Billy.
    I have taken the liberty of linking to this journal
    in a message in ART UNIVERSE where i have just started a challenge yesterday. ☺

  • billyboy:

    Cheers Kira, and it seems they’re working on a fix…
    They generally get it together in the end.
    I think they actually do this stuff to keep us from getting bored ☻-)

    How surprising….I noticed yes…left nothing else then to wait when this mad cows are gone then…..:)

  • billyboy:

    Patjila, the cows never ever really go… they just chill where we can’t see ‘em and come out again when we think we’re safe.
    Hang in there !!

    ×°× ` ·.¸.·´ ×°× Having the same problem posted journal ect as well, Its just to bad Redbubble wasn’t left alone the way it was before advancement is nice but if its going to produce glitches why not leave well enough alone!

  • billyboy:

    That’s what Ii say every single time Rapture!
    But somehow it works out in the end and the dust settles and most are ultimately happy. Guess we’ll just have to bite the bullet and stick this one out…:-)

    I don’t enter challenges,……… but have thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone’s comments…… lol. You are a card billy-boy. :))))

  • lisah

    lisah

    They keep changing stuff and it really irritates me. I’m not here enough to keep up on it, so I’ve given up. :P

  • billyboy:

    No Lisa, you mustn’t give up!
    All the stuff I’ve had issues with has been resolved and it only takes a bit of getting used to a couple of things that are different in the format. Everything that used to be there still is, but may be harder to access.
    If you have ANY problems with finding stuff, just let me know and we’ll sort you out :-))
    Cool to hear from you BTW, hope you’re groovin’ !!

  • lisah

    Oh yeah. I be groovin! It’s winter break . . . and I will be laid off after tomorrow. I have a list of home projects to do, then I’ll be meeting with a friend who wants me to do some prints for her home from some of the flowers I’ve done. And maybe some custom shots as well. It’s a paying job, oh yeah! I won’t get rich, but hey . . . should be fun. When I get a chance I’ll upload the ONLY decent work I did in the color drawing class. It’s too big for my scanner and it just won’t lay flat enough for a photo. grrr…
