New Members - Do not edit the first post in your thread

We are experiencing some difficulty in approving threads that have had the first entry edited. It has been reported.

Thank you for making this announcement!

I'm going nuts. Taken to PMing them and deleting the posts if no replies. Easier for them to start again. Going to sticky this all over the place - when I find out how to. BRB

Found a work around that seems to work. Hopefully, I'll clear the backlog of new posts this evening and then finish the older stuff later.

Hi, sorry for being a bit slow on this; i posted my first sketchbook thread yesterday, but today i want to add a new post with image to my sketchbook thread. i am unsure whether to reply to my first thread or to start a new thread. if i start a new thread, should i make the heading the same as the first to connect them? "t h e y c a l l m e e s l o o o w!" thank you

Hey THUNDERscrawl.

Once you have created your own sketchbook thread you usually update the thread with replying to it again.
Otherwise people can't really keep track of your stuff.

It's better to see it all at one place.

If you want to edit it and it goes into moderation I can sort it out later - I check all the moderated posts and clear them up a few times a day.

Thank you, I couldn't find my way back to this page, so apologies for the late reply! I'm actually having an issue with the artwork I'm posting through the upload manager. They have been displaying fine until the site maintenance the other day and now, my thread appears with no art and a white thumbnail for my sketchbook image. I tried clicking the links that have replaced the artwork, on of them led me to a contact admin page, which I did but, I received an email shortly after saying the delivery had failed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I too have a problem with attachments in my first post. I started my sketchbook couple of days ago and now my attachments from first post have gone. They show up in the attachment manager as a blank white images.

Getting another mod to look at it - you may have just posted at the wrong time before the upgrade.

**giorgiobaroni** · March 16th, 2013, 04:32 AM

so is it safe now?
i opened a sketchbook thread yesterday, attached some images and already got a reply.
don't want to edit it now, just wanted to know if it's safe now in case i need to edit first post in the future..
thanx

first is sketchbook, second is looking for work.. not only having a problem with the first post, subsequent posts are really buggy, too. since the upgrade uploading pics is kinda like rolling dice.. anything i can try on my end to fix it?

thanks in advance.

We seem to be having a few problems with attachments. I've reported them. Please be patient as the site isn't finished yet.

**pheonix561** · March 29th, 2013, 05:15 PM

Augh, so that's what happened. I just made my sketchbook thread today and edited a description for an image after I posted it, and was confused when it disappeared immediately afterwards. If Should I just patiently wait for it to be fixed and come back on it's own, now that I know what the problem is?

**creeptool** · March 30th, 2013, 04:23 PM

i'm guessing you guys are still having problems?...i mad a animated avatar gif for my sketch book but it don't work it only shows up like a normal photo...i'm not sure if it's the same problem?

**Black Spot** · March 30th, 2013, 06:46 PM

It's flashing away for me.

**THUNDERscrawl** · April 11th, 2013, 03:47 AM

Hi I've been having this problem for about a month now, my thumbnails have been replaced with white attachment links, and the attachments links don't seem to work. Is there any support on this problem, or should I just create a new thread?
