Aditus Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 I tried to publish the second chapter of my story Sharp Shorts yesterday, the system told me it's approved (?) but I can only publish today, which I tried, ignoring the factor that my chapters usually haven't to be approved, with the same result. I'm sure I did something wrong, anyway I would be very happy if someone could tell what I did wrong so I can finally publish the chapter. Help? 1
Site Administrator Myr Posted June 13, 2022 Site Administrator Posted June 13, 2022 There us an issue with check that effects the backwards dating. It is being worked on. 2
Aditus Posted June 13, 2022 Author Posted June 13, 2022 I would be happy if I could just publish it, but okay I just wait and see what happens. Thank you. 1

Expand My last chapter was 10 days ago. When I clicked save, I got the usual message that the chapter was unpublished so I could still edit. I didn't have any edits, so I toggled the switch for "publish", clicked save, and nothing happened. The dialogue box wouldnt go away. The only thing I could do was publish at a future date, but I'd really like to get it up today. 1

Press "Publish Chapter" Step 2, toggle the Publish Chapter toggle (this turns off Chapter publish time) then step 3, Press Publish. Is this not working? 1
Salander Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 That's what I'm doing. When I press publish, nothing happens and the prompt doesn't go away. 1

I'll let you know if it keeps happening...I had the same bug on my last chapter, but eventually got it up after trying a bunch of times. 1
Luca E Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 I also have a problem using the Publish Chapter button. I click the the tag to publish now, no date, time, required, click Publish Chapter, nothing happens. After going backwards and forwards through different screens, trying to publish from different places, manage chapter or the green label, by hazard or chance the button works, but not without trying at least a dozen times. I realise this doesn't help you much in finding the problem, but I have no more information except hitting the Publish Chapter button never works first time, which of course it should. It does work if you persevere. I have only published three chapters and they all come out of the moderation queue approved ready to publish. 2

Expand I did a lot of button mashing for the chapter before this one and it eventually went through, just seems to have no rhyme or reason to when it will work. I initially thought it was user error on my part, so I didn't think to report it - fairly sure it's a bug this time. Hopefully it gets fixed soon! 1

Luca E Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 @Myr I don't have an ad blocker only a pop up blocker which if active asks to allow or not pop ups which doesn't happen here. 2
Site Administrator Myr Posted July 11, 2022 Site Administrator Posted July 11, 2022 @Salander, @Luca E Can you both please tell me what browser you are using and what operating system? If you tried multiple browsers, which ones? If you can go to the About and give me version numbers on software, that might help as well. I am unable to reproduce the issue on my systems and no one else is currently reporting the issue, so it is harder to track and seems more isolated. 1

Expand It was Google Chrome for both laptops I used ( v 114 for one, .53 for the other) and the Samsung internet browser on mobile (17.0.7.34) 2

Site Administrator Myr Posted July 13, 2022 Site Administrator Posted July 13, 2022 Ok... so it might be tied to Chrome. The Samsung browser is based on Chromium with their own spin. I tend to use FireFox or Edge on the site (though Edge is also Chromium based) 2
Luca E Posted July 15, 2022 Posted July 15, 2022 I noted every step with publishing my latest chapter. From green bar PUBLISH CHAPTER clicked button Clicked Publish Chapter tog (dismisses date) Publish Chapter tog highlights clicked Publish FAILED twice Closed and went to Chapter 4 (latest chapter I want to publish) Clicked SETTINGS icon (the cog) Clicked Publish Chapter FAILED Return to index Tried Publish again from there FAILED twice Tried with date - incorrect date Entered date for today time for plus 1 minute from actual time It published - message said published There must be a slight delay, because after it said published the button was still there to publish, clicking the button PUBLISH it said chapter could not be found. About two minutes after publishing, it published. So it published by entering a (correct) date and time, but with a delay of 2 or 3 minutes. The instant publish option didn't work. Hope this helps you investigate.

I've reported this to our programmer. Simple work around for the moment seems to be to set a future publish time of an hour into the future.
Brayon Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Seems I'm having this same issue with Chapter 8 of my Family Always Has Your Back story. After Myr told me the system forces one day at a time on stories, I uploaded the first 9 chapters, and have been clicking publish, on each chapter as they became available, with the next day as the publishing date. Until chapter 9. Had some revisions in it. Re-uploaded the chapter, and went to publish the story instantly, as it was after 24 hours and didn't work. Set the date/later, clicked published, was accepted. But five minutes after the time, still wasn't published. Tried to instant publish again, didn't work. It's now set to publish on the 19th around 1am. Cause it wouldn't let me choose any time on the 18th. Thanks.
