submission impossible?

Sunday, March 14, 2021 - 20:28

Hello! I am totally new here in this forum. I wanted to upload some files, but I always got the message "Please register or log in (see the upper right corner of the page) to submit new art."

I have no idea, what to do, cause I AM logged in. Has someone an idea, what went wrong? thanks!

before everything looks normal. could it have something to do with the message, that my account is not approved yet?

That is the page just before the "must be logged in" message? how were you submitting art from your profile page?

The can't log out thing sounds like a cache issue. You may want to try clearing your browser cache, though trying a different browser that you've never logged into the site on before would be a better test.

I was just trying around after it didn't work. and I tried the "Create a new Art Collection"-function. but that's not really, what I wanted to do. so I could not manage to upload any file till now.

You are answering questions that I haven't been asking.

Are you saying you can submit art successfully now?

Ok, I think I was able to track down the issue. My confusion was due to the fact it wasn't even letting you view the submission form to take the screen shot.

It is definitely a browser cache issue. Try the following steps when you have the time.

Clear browser history. Especially the cookies and cached data for opengameart.org.
Close browser. Do not try to log in again or submit art before closing the browser completely.
Reopen browser. Go to opengameart.org. DO NOT CLICK "SUBMIT ART" YET.
Log in. Click "home" and make sure it still shows you are logged in.
Click "submit art". It should show a form with various fields.

Let me know how it goes and what step things go wrong on, if any.
