Years of visualizing the word in the round, then an inspirational visit to Italy culminating in this first book.

Hi guys, sorry to ask but could you please re-post these to the Photo Contest Forum? I can move 'posts' to another forum, but I can't move 'comments' replying to a post (which is what these are) or I'd just move them there myself. :) I can also cut/paste these comments and re-post them myself in the right forum, but then they'd show up under my name which isn't ideal either... so.....

click HERE to get you to the forum.

then click on the add article button as shown below and you're good to go!

The "Add Article" button loops back to the community front page (http://adoramapix.zendesk.com/home).  I can't find any way to post a new article here.

Thanks

Hi Al,

I can't seem to get to the right place to do what you're asking after I click the "add article" button. Is the "add article" button working correctly? Can you make it really clear what I need to do?

Thanks,

Scott

Sure Scott. Just go to the correct forum by clicking on this link.

At the upper right of that forum page you'll see a button that says Add Article. Click on that button and the rest should be straight forward.

 

Thanks,
AL

I am having trouble adding an article too. I follow the link and click the add article button but it takes me right back to the list of different forums?

I'm having the same trouble with the "add article" button.  It's still looping back to the front page of the community.  Thanks!

Hey everyone. I created a new account and that account seems to be having the same problem. I'll figure out whats causing this inconsistency where some people can post and others cannot and let you know how to fix it...

Aha! I found the problem. If you ever have trouble adding an article make sure you are logged in. i.e. if it doesn't have your name in the upper right corner of the screen (like below) and just says "login" then you need to sign in before it will let you post.

For some reason, the link I posted is signing some people out when they follow it. I'll try to get to the bottom of why that's happening and fix it. For now, if you get to the forum and aren't signed in, please re-enter your login information and that will allow you to post your entry.

Regards,
AL

UPDATE: I found the problem with the link and fixed it. Clicking on the link in the main post, or the links I provided in the two comments in this thread should now take you to the correct forum without signing you out.
