Difficulties uploading art.... - 2/3/2012 7:49:21 PM

Hey ho. Just a note about a problem I've been having since yesterday -- I'm wanting to upload some new pieces into my portfolio, but whenever i click 'upload your art', it's just refreshing to the front page. I don't think it's related to the earlier problems I was having with my lynux o.s. (seem to have fixed all that with Wine). Any suggestions?
Thanks

We've had others experience this problem, and no, it's definitely not Linux-centric. I suspect the page isn't fully loaded when you try. Go back to the load page, give it a minute, and then click upload to see if that solves your problem.

I am still having a problem I have had from the beginning. When I upload new art, I add keywords, and if I go back into the page where the keywords are they are gone. Don't know if they stuck or not. I am using IE 7. I can't upgrade any further with this computer.

I want my artwork to be searchable for AOTD and other things :)
Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Keywords aren't working properly right now. That's something we're working on for the next version of the site code. But no worries. Include good text in your title and artist statement, and rest assured, your work will be searchable for Art of the Day.

I don't know if they are having any current problems but just for your info the keyword field will only hold so many keywords. If you don't put in what it considers too many your keywords will stay. If you go over what is apparently the limit it will not take.

I don't know if Amie and them can make that field where it can take more characters or not.

I always go back and see if my keywords took, if not then I put fewer in and it takes. Also be sure you click outside the keywords box/field same as you do the statement.

I think Sherry missed seeing my response: the keyword feature is currently broken. It will be fixed in the next site revision. Please make sure you include relevant text in your titles and artist statements.
