Can’t get to “My Ticket”

2008-09-26T15:18:58Z

Just read the “helllup, can’t navigate no mo’” post hoping it would help me, but, alas, it did not answer all my questions. It did tell me why I lost brain points when I mistakenly moved things below the pink line, and that was helpful. However, that was the only time I have been able to view “My Ticket.” All subsequent attempts to get there have failed. When I click on the little voting box icon, the link takes me to another story and does not allow me to rank the story I just finished reading in the others on my list. Am I missing a link? Will the little voting box icon only take me to my ticket after I decide if the story above or below is Fetter?

Frustrated,

Can I Delete My Submission?

2008-09-08T12:14:59Z

Yes, you can.

Click My Account from the top of the right panel in the home page.
Click on the Edit tab on the following page.
Type all or part of your submission’s title in the Search Box and hit enter.
Check the checkbox on the right side.
Scroll to the bottom and select “Delete Selected” from the drop down.
Hit submit.
Confirm that you wish to delete your submission.

Thanks to Trickortreatsa for asking how to do this. You may notice that the page you get when you click My Account is a bit different from the one you used to get. It’s a bit more functional. Please let me know if you find anything missing.

Literal Translations

Table of Contents >> Literal Translations

If I go there, it still says:

“This is a collection of all entries that have won contests, broken into categories. These posts will eventually be compiled into a paper publication. Demand will shorten the wait, so if you want a copy, order one!”

However what is underneath no longer appears to be “a collection of all entries that have won contests, broken into categories.” It’s just the same bathtub full of tractors, record players and rhinoceri that appears on every other page now.

What gives?

How can I tell what place my submission is in?

To see what place your entry is in, hold the mouse over the ‘>>’ next to it in your ticket.

Thanks to tobiash for asking.

I am having trouble coz i can’t get a .jpg of me small enough and my .png files aren’t accepted

I think I’m going to have to give up

This site is driving me sane and that’s the last thing I want. I can’t figure anything out. I think I posted my novel excerpt, but I can’t find it. I paid the five bucks. I think I was able to rate Mikael Covey’s excellent story, but again, I’m not sure. Just call me Alice, because evidently I’m in Wonderland.

I should also mention what a great idea this site is, and not just because there is the possibility of financial reward (although that is sweet).

Helllup!!! Can’t navigate no mo’

2008-02-28T02:49:30Z

Either I have lost many IQ points by travelling to Cambodia (which is entirely possible) or something weird is going on around here, or both.

I just can’t figure out what I have to do to post.
I’ll roam around some more, but I’ve been roaming around sporadically since I got back, and I still can’t figure out exactly what’s going on. When I first found this site, I figured it out, so maybe it’s my IQ. Sob.

Other people seem to be able to do it, so why can’t I post a submission? Am I not voting enough? Have I submitted too much already? Not even clear on how to vote properly, anymore.

Is there some specific post by Dave that explains the changes?

Thanks for any help from anyone.
At least I can still post in the forums and make annoying comments!

This man and this woman, they look at each other. He is 37 years old and she is 46. They are just laughing. They are getting along.

This woman and this man, they look at each other. She is 37 years old, and he is 46. They are just laughing. They are getting along.

What more do they, do we, need to know?

Is there a difference? Of course. Why? What is it?
If they HAD a story, what would it be?

This has to be a story in which their ages come up. Not every story is like that, but let’s try this.

1000 words or less. Could write two.

Complaints Department

2008-03-17T15:16:39Z

As the self-appointed Team Lead of the newly invented (by me) Complaints Department, I hereby invite all and sundry to post their complaints here.

The complaints, so far as I am concerned, need not absolutely HAVE to be about Litmocracy or Literal Translations. If you want to complain about your breakfast, or next-door neighbour, it’s OK with ME. Dave is the King around here, though, so he might have a complaint about it; if so, he’s come to the right place!

The motto for this thread is (per my years as an inbound Technical Support Provider):

“Complaints Department—WHY should I help you?”

Looking forward to fielding your complaints,

Julie
Complaints Department Team Lead

Photos in Poetry? Essays in News?

2008-02-28T03:53:19Z

Is it just me, or are we all voting essays vs. reviews vs. photos vs. poetry/lyrics vs. life tonight?
It seems like I’m being asked to rank a poem against a photo, etc.
I’ve been away a while. Didn’t know if things had changed from the old days: poems vs. poems, photos vs. photos, life vs. life
