Why? Why!

Thu Nov 22, 2007, 10:02 PM
Why must good things change?!?
First it was Hotmail -- nothing was wrong with it, but they had to make it fancy anyway. Then that no-good myspace had to re-organize itself... every week, for gods sake. It's not as though the new designs impeded upon my functioning within it...
Until now, of course >__<

Can someone help me with this new deviant submission system... For some reason, possibly due to my terrible internet, I cannot upload files/images on this site -- it continues to ask me for a preview image to my regular image, yet doesn't seem to be accepting even the preview images I make for it? My file comes up as "unknown", with simply a small jpeg titled "choose preview" (A cruel irony considering I cannot even select the freakin' previews)...
Sigh.

I don't know who is behind this! Surely someone from Team-Computer determined to destroyed what little amount of technological patience I actually have left.
..Thus, I am requesting secret aid from the outside world - the public; anyone and everyone! I know this is a personal battle, and maybe my sourcing from the outer limits is a little bit like cheating, but seriously... No one's counting! And most don't care ~

Help team Sarah conquer... I'd like to share artwork again ;`[

Never mind! It looks as though Team Sarah had been creating her own problems all along and the battle had not truly been initiated... Though, the war is still eminent, truly.
Something was just wrong with the specific file I saved; so now I may go on my mary way.

Over and Out.

Did you figure it out?

I was trying to upload a gif with a preview the other day and it kept telling me gifs weren't allowed in the categories I was trying no matter what categories I tried (I'd submitted gifs before and never had a problem). I went to the help chat and asked about it and they just said it was a bug and they were working on fixing it. Was this kind of the same problem or no?

I saw an advert for 'Sour Hearts & Sweet Tarts' in Hi Fructose yesterday; congrats! That is so awesome. I'll be in L.A. in January for a night or two and will definitely try to pop in.

Yeah...cranky old farts like myself grew up with cranky old farts saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." There's a certain wisdom there. I've had nothing but problems for months- mostly images dropping out of my deviantWATCH pages (the help desk offered a journal entry- the plans for new messenger pages as help- didn't solve [your expletive here]), & some navigation issues- "page cannot be displayed"- turns out it can if you're persistent & willing to do a little dance...but that isn't the site "working" is it?...I received messages today that date back over a week. Ta da! So, you aren't alone as you sit (possibly) thinking wtf!?! Glad you got your gremlins figured out- can't wait to see some new work.

damnit, I was suppose to get my copy in the mail... I gotta call them and figure out why it's taking so long.

That's awesome you'll be visiting opening night though -- going to be a lot of people I know digitally, haha. Kind of cool : D

no... the problem was all me, haha. You actually had a justified reason for frustration, while I just caused my own. The specific file I uploaded had some issues; just had to copy and paste it into a new jpeg and voila!

Thanks for the concern though -- hope we don't run into these issues again ^__^
