ARE YOU ALSO HAVING TECH ERRORS HERE?

Blog Posted:6/6/2016 11:45:00 AM

hello soupers!.. i am in the process of judging my contest and having a difficult time choosing the winners...

BUT more difficult or disappointing for me is the fact that 4-5 members could not enter my challenge due to TPS errors like error 500, application error, and other tech glitches, with due respect to soup.

i have sent a message to admin with the hope that a final solution would be implemented..

to those who wrote me and tried till the last minute to post their entries, i felt really helpless about this situation...please know you are winners in my heart,  and i appreciate your support and talent!

as i score the winning points, kindly accept that  non-winning members did not follow the requirements.. some wrote in rhyme form, others may not have kept in mind my criteria for judging... all in all, i had an awesome time savoring your poems...

meanwhile, what technical problems are you experiencing?.. i almost didn't make it to a contest as  the site stopped temporarily for some reason... i waited for 2 hours and went back to the contest area...

let's share so we can be help each other...huggs

Hi Nette! I spent 2 days trying to enter my poem in your contest. Each time I ended in that dreaded yellow page with the words" Server Error....Request timed out"!! I contacted TPS and all I received was a link to your contest...not at all helpful! I hope next time I try entering a contest it will be less frustrating! Hugss ~ paul

Just got in. I had trouble logging and it took me 1 1/2 days to sneak my work. I never used google chrome (?) and tried it out of frustration. Maybe that helped but I was just given a fraction of time to surf TPS. Thank you, Nette!

Hi Nette, Yes, I had the same predicament. I tried to enter your contest "REFRAIN FROM THE 6th", but couldn't raise an eMuscle to do it, lol. Well, I hope TPS will work on the TPS soonest!! *_^

I don't know how to call my "tragedy." When I tried to join 2 contests including yours, the site hangs! I took my works out and will try the others. It's not easy to write for days only to be " rejected," I wish this will be resolved.

Franco, are either of the other contests still running. Try them now. I have nothing ready to enter into a new contest to test it out. Maybe the system is working again for people like you and me.

I have problems getting a contest started and getting it closed. Also I was not able at ALL to enter Nette's contest. Tried for half an hour and it simply would not go through.Strangely, I entered other contests and THOSE went through. It was as if her contest was jinxed!! Then I find out this morning that others had problems and yet others WERE able to get into her contest. It's very unfair, Poetry Soup. I wish things were like they used to be!

One big problem I've had for several months is that if I see a misspell, or need to add, or edit my just posted poem, more often than not, it won't let me! The "connection time-out" factor will not let me in ! Good luck with your problem, Nette!

Hi, gorgeous ( hah!). I'm just keeping light of things but I sent a hopeless entry. While doing so, I got this alien inscription in red, right smack in the middle of sending on the "enter" page.Tried twice; if it's not with you, it won't win anyway. Actually, not funny; just need to vent.

It is frustrating Nette. Thankfully I did find a way around it, not sure if its a computer or site problem.

The problem I am having Nette is wiith the Validate letters/numbers: I write the capital letters in the correct manner but they come out in lower case ! So I then write the Validate letters in the comment box, then copy and paste them and that does the trick. Anyone else experience the same ?!?!
