I can't seem to submit

[Jared Goodwin]

I, uh, can't seem to submit my monster. I've been trying on and off for about the last hour, using Safari 4.0.4, and every time I try to submit I just get kicked back to the main page. I've tried restarting the submission process from the beginning, restarting, restarting the browser, etc. I can preview the post, but not submit it. I'd rather not wait until Thursday evening to try and post again, since that'd be the last minute.

Is this a known issue? Should I make a back-up submission or something via e-mail? I'm a bit worried.

[Sean K Reynolds]

I see multiple copies of your submission in the secret R2 folder, so it is getting through. :)

Weird. Okie doke, I'm not worried, then. Thanks for the reassurance.

[Tom Phillips]

I just submitted my entry. I didn't see any kind of confirmation message. Did my critter make its way to Seattle?

[Neil Spicer]

Ah...I see the "Can I Get A Confirmation On My Submission" threads will be present again this year. Poor, Gary. :-)

[Sean K Reynolds]

Yes, Tom!

Yes, Tom!

Thank you!

[Gary Teter]

We just rolled the website with some new code that might make the submission tool behave better.

[Bill Dodds]

Crud, right about when I submitted. Hate to be a pest, but did mine show up?

[Sean K Reynolds]

Yes, now eat your peas like your mother told you.

yes?

[Lief Clennon]

Okay, so this is the official "did my submission go through" thread, right?

Did my submission go through? :P

[Benjamin Bruck]

I hate to be a bother as well, but could I also have a confirmation please?

[Brian Hoffman]

Drat. I hate to contribute to the me-too-ism, but... me too, please?

Thank you muchly kind sirs.

[Gary Teter]

Ah well. I thought we'd fixed these things this year. Anyway...

Brian Hoffman, Lief Clennon, Bill Dodds, Tom Phillips, RC Higgins, Jared Goodwin, Nick Waln and Alexander MacLeod, your entries are all in.

Benjamin Bruck, your entry might be somewhere in our database but it's not currently visible in the judges chambers, so go ahead and submit again.

[Nick Waln]

I seemed to have the same problem, did mine go through? I tried it twice. Hate to ask to but I just wanted to make sure.

[Gary Teter]

Nick Waln, search this page for mention of your name to see if your entry went through or not. :-)

Jason Schimmel, you're in.

[Benjamin Bruck]

Well, I did submit right before I asked, so it's probably in the database like you said. It just kicked back out to the main page when I hit submit, so I thought I'd check.

Thanks for the help Gary! I think I speak for all us contestants when I say we really appreciate the hard work that goes on behind the scenes to make this contest happen.

Same thing happened to me. Kicked out to the main page. Please let me know if my entry went through.

And Gary, you are crazy awesome for helping out with this!

[Gary Teter]

Tobias Mullen, you're in.

Benjamin Bruck, if you got kicked to the main page after hitting submit it's a good bet that your entry is not floating around in our database. Submit again, or risk being replaced by an alt. :-)

Thanks sorry! I just missed it.

[Seth White]

When you get a chance, please verify mine went through. :)

I'll resubmit to be on the safe side.

Thanks!

[Dennis Baker]

I'll check back in the AM... you should have my entry.

I submited and I too was kicked all they way back to the main page, on two attempts. Could you please confirm if you got my alternate entry. Thanks

[Benjamin Bruck]

Thanks for the heads up Gary, I submitted it again and, once again, got kicked back to the main page. It looks like other people are getting through despite this though, so maybe there's a chance?

Glad I decided to submit tonight instead of tomorrow!

[Erik Randall]

Like the others, I was sent straight to the front page after submitting my entry.

Sweet! Thanks for the update Sean!

[Lief Clennon]

I was kicked to the front page after submission as well, only tried once before asking, and Gary verified that mine was in. So... yeah, that replaces the certainty of failure with complete uncertainty, which probably isn't an upgrade. But maybe it's useful information for troubleshooting at Paizo's end?

[David Posener]

I've submitted, but I'll wait here for a confirmation if you don't mind.

[Matthew Morris]

It's away!

Was it a hit, or did it just impact on the surface?

[Richard A. Hunt]

Okay I just submitted too, so let me join the chorus. Is it in? :)

[Jeff Spencer]

Um... silly question - do you put the name of the beastie in the Subject and again in the Body as part of the entry?

Gods I hope so.

[Eric Hindley]

Add my name to the pool of people looking for confirmation...

[James Martin]

I would like to humbly ask the Web Monsters for confirmation of my submission as well, please.

Thanks Sean for taking the extra time to make sure we all make the dead line.

[Joshua Kitchens]

I just submitted with the same problem as the rest. If I could get confirmation of my entry, I'd be ever so grateful.

Just tried two more times. Was sent back to the main page both times without confirmation.

[Matt Goodall]

Same situation as everyone else. Can I please have a confirmation that my submission got in? Thanks in advance.

Perhaps this is part of the test.

Before you can face the wrath of the Judges and the fury of the mob, you first must overcome the Submission Guardians!

Damn you, Submission Guardians! /shakes fist

Mr. PostMonster, if you could confirm that my submission has made its way past the Guardians, I would be most appreciative.

Thank you!

[Sean McGowan]

Yeah, same problem as everyone else. Just submitted three times and kept getting bounced to the main page, so want to make sure it went through. Thanks!

[Joshua Kitchens]

How bout now?

[James Martin]

Thank you Sean! Do you feel like some sort of game show host now? Do you think we could raise Zombie Rod Roddy to call us down to Contestant's Row?

The four sweetest words I could hear right now, thanks Sean!

[Chris Mortika]

Sean, what about my entry? There might be two of them, one marked "resend".
