View Full Version : Why can't I post new hacks??

This is my second attempt at trying to post a new hack.

Now after I submit my post and upload the attachment, it forwards me to the hacks database saying that I must enter it into the database for the post to appear.

Fine, I try and enter it in the database. I hit "Submit New Hack" and all it does is continually PREVIEW the hack. Over and over and over. It won't submit!

Any help appreciated..

(XP, IE6)

hmm, you must have made something wrong, not entered all infos, not put it into a category, clicked the wrong button....

worked perfect for me to add your hack, maybe you should check your cookies, too

You need to click on the "thread" link once you've submitted the hack to go to the hack thread itself. From memory, you don't get redirected to the new thread.

It did appear in the forums eventually.. It was strange that both the "Submit Hack" and "Preview Hack" seemed to preview and never submit. I was sure I had filled out all the fields.

Once again... I know I'm not that moronic...

I submit a new hack thread with uploaded file. It forwards me to the hack submission routine. I hit

SUBMIT HACK

and it previews the hack, over and over, never submitting it. If there is something wrong with my form submission it should tell me!

I suspect my newest little thing is stuck in Thread Moderation queue like yesterdays.

yes it was there...

hmm, must be a browser problem of your PC works as perfect as always.

Oh, not to forget: you must choose a categorie, the preselected is not a valid one (that happens to me sometimes...)
