The Writer Feed Pad isn't working. I've tried on multiple browsers and still no. It started last night and still isn't working this morning.

Hi!

I'm trying to unpublish all of my portfolio, but it just appears in my portfolio again. I've tried creating new folders, emptying them, populating them, deleting them. I've tried setting to private, reordering works, resetting folders. I've tried saving as a draft and unpublishing.

None of it works. All I want is for my portfolio to be empty.

Also, I can't send PMs. Not sure if this is related, but any PMs I make are stored in the Outbox and not sent.

Thanks,
Jai

When I go to publish a work, I click upload document. I select my document, and hit upload... It says it was uploaded, but nothing actually appeared. I've been copy pasting, but copy pasting prevents whitespace and fonts to be saved.

I suspect the reason may be because I'm using Open Office to write, and the documents are saved as ODFs. However, changing platforms is not preferred. Is there a way to resolve this?

In portfolio management, the controls for making a work private and public are reversed (i.e. for a work to be private, the box for the "Private?" option must be blank. For it to be public, it must be marked private.)

Others have had the same issue to my knowledge, so I just told them to play opposite day until it's resolved.

Every time I write in a text box (I experienced this on my wall, in a club text box, and here) every few seconds it goes gray and acts as if I have clicked out of the box, so I have to click back into it to continue typing (very infuriating and difficult to write anything for any length of time haha)
I asked some people if they were experiencing the same thing and one said yes (they experienced it in the SB forum). And one said no.

-asked about browsers. it could be chrome?)
-could also just be my iffy internet
-also, now I am editing this post and it's not acting up. Maybe its only for quick-reply type things?

@fortis, the same thing has been happening to me and I also use Chrome. But I found that it happens when a specific ad shows up at the top of the screen (a red and black ad with a spinning play button in the center. I have no idea what it's an ad for.)

Usually it goes back to normal if you press the x on the ad. But it's still annoying to have to look out for.

Hey, @Nate, is something happening with WFP? Like a server change or whatever? Because it's been dying a lot recently, way more than it used to. It's not always for longer than like fifteen minutes or so, but sometimes it's for hours, and it really makes me wonder why.

It's down now again, while on it.

WFP should be back up now. It's been going down a lot because there's a lot more activity on it.

@fortis & @SpiritedWolfe ->> It sounds like there might be a malicious ad causing the problem. Next time it happens, make a note of what the ad is advertising (don't click on it) and I'll block it as well as report it.

@Nate, I really believe it's this ad that's doing it. It's at the top of my screen as I write this and every few seconds it clicks out of the box as I'm typing.
