Continuing Problems with my Newsvine Column

These are some of the things I am having trouble with in my column:

 

1.) Tracking will not release after I click on clear count. It stays the same.

 

2.) Words change into non-sensical in comments, articles, and titles after I save them and I have to go back and edit them if I can.

 

3.) Comments disappear after I post them, then show up, then disappear, then show up and sometimes don't show up at all.

 

1st Picture in Article itself

4.) The right picture does not show up first in my article list after I have moved a picture (See pictures below)

 

Picture in Article Column

 

 

 

5.) My personal pictures disappear, then reappear and sometimes do not reappear.

 

6.) Videos disappear, then after I publish it, the disappeared video reappears.

 

7.) Friends list disappears and reappears, disappears and reappears, etc.

 

8.) When posting pictures, they are in place when previewed. If I add a sentence at the bottom the an article or after a picture, the pictures show up half way down the page with a large white area at the top or a large white area in between pictures.

 

9.) Recently, blockquote hasn't been working right, it shows a quote that I pasted from another website as regular type in normal mode instead of the grayed blockquote. When I go back into html mode, it shows that it is blockquoted.

 

10.) Can't get to friends when clicking on their avatar

 

11.) Can't get into my column

 

12.) Can't get to friend's articles when I click on their article links and have had to go a round-about way going through other viner's columns and click on the friend in their lists to get to them.

 

13.) If I have two articles open that a single friend has written and I post a comment, when article is refreshed after clicking on the post button Newsvine switches to the second article with my post on the first article. Then thinking my article did not post, I posted it again and then Newsvine switched to the first articles. I then ended up with the same post in two different articles. This happened to me once when there was a video in the article. I am wondering if it was the video that was affecting my comments.

 

14.) Tags change

 

15.) After posting an article, sign out of Newsvine and look at the article, the title is saying something different than what the title actually is. When I sign in and look at the article again, the title is the way it is supposed to be. One time the title that was seen after I signed out was not an appropriate title to show on the web. I quickly went back to change it and the title was the way I put it to begin with...signed out, looked at it - wrong title showing again; signed back in, looked at it - right title; signed out again, looked at it - wrong title; signed back in and it was the wrong title.

 

16.) Comments post themselves without giving me the option of editing it after a post, and not only that, post stuff that I took out of the comment was posted also.

 

17.) At times, I can move the 'post button' picture and the 'post and vote' button picture right into my actual comment.

 

18.) There has even been an entire comment made by someone else in response to a comment I made that disappeared. I went to look for it last week and it was not there anymore.

 

19.) The tracker for my column shows there is a comment after it had been '0" for four hours and when I clicked on it, it said

There are no new conversations on your articles at this time

 

20.)  Pictures that were deleted and article saved are back in the saved article after I open it again.

 

21.)  Some articles of other viners will not allow me to vote the article up.  It takes the click, but does not accept it.  It will allow me to vote individual comments up, though.

 

22.)  I post articles and then when I go to see them, Newsvine says it is missing.

 

23.)  When I try to hide or unhide blocks in my column, sometimes it will not change. 

 

24.)  After I sign off of Newsvine, close out my browser, delete temporary files, and then type in the url for my column without signing in, Newsvine shows that I am online.  If I am signed out of Newsvine, I should not be seen as being online.

 

         I have commented about some of these issues a number of times in other articles and have had to reset my column multiple times getting rid of articles- reposting them, deleting friends that keep disappearing and having to resend friendships, etc. I don't want to continue to write about the same thing in comments so I thought I would put it in an article instead like McSpocky did about groups.  It is getting me angry as sometimes it is making me look like a fool to anyone that sees it and I have worked too hard to build up a respectable reputation at Newsvine for something like that to happen.

Is anyone else having any of the problems with their column that I am having. If so, do you have any solutions to any of the issues mentioned to stop the chaotic state that is circling around it and my travels around Newsvine? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi 58rose

I have noticed the same thing about pictures and videos. Pictures should not be disappearing, though.

I'm glad to know that I am not the only one having issues. The only problem for me is that some of the issues are making me look like a fool, which I am not; hence the reason for the article.

I feel your pain! I've spent a lot of time writing a few articles, click post, and Poof!! Gone. I also have written articles that posted correctly and were up for a while, which had 50-100 comments, and can no longer access them. They are not deleted, as far as I can tell, other people can comment, but I can't access them....There are a lot of glitches, and have been for a long time.

The only thing I can tell you is to use the ! button, and/or try contacting Newsvine or one of it's representatives via email. Sometimes you get a quick response, sometimes none at all. I've been noticing a lot of old articles showing up in my tracker in the last week or so...and the the old "blue screen death" has been occurring...it could be the ads, it could be your browser...difficult to pinpoint for sure.

Good luck!

Hi chelli

I don't have any articles with that many comments. It tends to be other viners' articles that I cannot access, even those without so many comments. Also, sometimes I cannot access other viners' columns including one's outside of my friend's list unless I go the round about way of doing it, by going through a friend's column that I know has a lot of friends, but not so many that it is an never-ending tunnel of searching. If I can access a column through someone else's friends list, I should be able to access it through mine.

Posting an article. When you first write the article, I click on the Save button on the left every once in ahwile to make sure it is save. And then wait until the toolbar turns green and says article is saved. When you click on Publish. The article doesn't show up right away. Give it 10 to 20 minutes for the article to show up in NV.

If you can't find the article, go to your Edit Content...that is where the 'drafts' are of articles/seeds that have been saved but not Published for whatever reason.

#16...be careful when you post a comment is the best I can tell you. The post comment does weird things once in awhile. Sometimes it works well others not. Mainly, I think ...because someone else is posting a comment too and the thread gets 'stacked'. There are a lot of users on the Vine...a lot...and the traffic can get heavy at times.

#21..I've had it happen that I couldn't comment but could vote on the comments and not the article too. Doesn't happen often, again I think it's so many voting at one time and the 'stack' builds up. So I wait and try again later, usually works the second time around.

I wouldn't use the url to sign in, I put the NV icon on my toolbar...The star on the left is the one you click when you are on the NV and then the icon for the NV gets put on your webpage toolbar at the top of the screen.

When I log off, I wait for a minute or two to make sure the log off 'takes'. I go to my homepage wait for it to load then come back to the NV to make sure I'm logged off. Lately though I've had no problem with it.

When you have a problem, copy the http of the page that has the problem, then go to the Report Bug, click and fill out the report. Be sure and put the http in the message to staff so they can check it out. Be sure and choose what the subject is from the drop down menu at the top of the message part.

What I've done when reporting a bug, is open another website page, go to NV. That a way you have Two NV websites open, the one with the bug and the one to report it...makes for simpler reporting. :)

Patience is the key though, NV is developing another newer NV and there's bound to be some flyback on this one until they get it set up.

Hi mstanley

#21..I've had it happen that I couldn't comment but could vote on the comments and not the article too. Doesn't happen often, again I think it's so many voting at one time and the 'stack' builds up. So I wait and try again later, usually works the second time around.

This I have done, but there is one viner that it happens with me all of the time. My vote is never accepted even after going to it after a couple of hours and-or a different day.

I wouldn't use the url to sign in, I put the NV icon on my toolbar...The star on the left is the one you click when you are on the NV and then the icon for the NV gets put on your webpage toolbar at the top of the screen.

Putting the NV icon in your toolbard makes things easier, but I have found whatever sites are in my favorites, my browser caters search results and ads to it, so much so, that I get the feeling that I am being tracked all over the place. This is something that I am not comfortable with as I want my search results to be random and not based on intuitive marketing.

When I log off, I wait for a minute or two to make sure the log off 'takes'. I go to my homepage wait for it to load then come back to the NV to make sure I'm logged off. Lately though I've had no problem with it.

I have done this and more. I not only wait, I delete my cookies and tempory files, close out my browser, wait for a few minutes, bring my browser back up, delete cookies and tempory files again, close out my browser, clean out my 'ram', bring the browser back up and then go to Newsvine without signing in, and it shows I am still online. It should not be doing that since I have deleted everything that was indicating I was in Newsvine, including passwords which are supposed to be deleted when you clear out your 'ram'. After all of this is done (process takes approximately 5 minutes), I am still showing that I am on line with Newsvine without being signed in. This should not be.

When you have a problem, copy the http of the page that has the problem, then go to the Report Bug, click and fill out the report. Be sure and put the http in the message to staff so they can check it out. Be sure and choose what the subject is from the drop down menu at the top of the message part.

I have utilized the report button many times, but I did not include the url with the report. Thanks for reminding me about that.

Patience is the key though, NV is developing another newer NV and there's bound to be some flyback on this one until they get it set up.

I kind of thought the same thing.

Send a Report Bug to staff with the http of the webpage. :)

uhh, you're not tracked from the favorites list, you're tracked by cookies that get added to your browser so you can view the webpage, so you have to delete those when you leave a website.

For the log off, send a Report Bug to staff, note the day and time that you logged off and then checked to see if you were logged off. They can see what happened.

This is what I have been doing - taken from my comment above:

I not only wait, I delete my cookies and tempory files, close out my browser, wait for a few minutes, bring my browser back up, delete cookies and tempory files again, close out my browser, clean out my 'ram', bring the browser back up and then go to Newsvine without signing in, and it shows I am still online. It should not be doing that since I have deleted everything that was indicating I was in Newsvine, including passwords which are supposed to be deleted when you clear out your 'ram'.

AND... I will do this too - from your comment above:

For the log off, send a Report Bug to staff, note the day and time that you logged off and then checked to see if you were logged off. They can see what happened.

Thanks, ms......Pon
