How to upload files using the new upload system

leopard danio

"Post new Diary" is the place where you will upload pictures of your craftwork. It must be yours.

"Post new Patterns & Magazine" is the place where you will upload single patterns, books and magazines.

To post a picture of your craftwork, do the following:

1- Click on the first Forum

2- Click on "New"

3- Choose the correct forum your work belongs, write its name and click on "image" to upload its picture.

4- Do not use the following buttons with an"X"

5- Finally, click on "New Thread"

To upload single patterns or books or magazines:

1- Click on the second forum

2- Click on "New"

3- Choose the correct forum your file belongs, choose the corresponding info to the forum you chose (eg.: crochet forum - crochet info), upload the image by clicking on"image" and the file by clicking on "attach".

To learn more about posting, read my tutorial, please:

How to upload patterns at the crochet forum (Updated)

4- Do not use the following buttons with an"X"

5- Click on "New Thread"

This is how people will see your thread after clicking on that:

It happens because the thread hasn't been approved yet. After the moderators check out the thread and see if everything is Ok,your thread will be sent to the forum you chose.

Take a look at this screenshot of a thread I'm moderating now:

Trying to edit what I uploaded to get it right but...

I definitely do not have the line that starts with the pdf symbol file name description read permissions gold coin line.

This part works:

After clicking on attach (to upload the file), you'll click on select attach and choose the file on your computer.

This part is missing my pattern says 100% but is not clickable no boxes.

Then, after the upload is complete, you'll see a place to put the price like this picture above.

Everything else in your image is the same.

My image is missing also.

I think others might be having the same issue since there are other patterns awaiting approval with a missing image just like mine. At least that is how it looks on my mac. Some patterns have images some don't.

Hello, I do not understand why when uploading a new pattern, I get a different price than what I req ...

you'll only get a different price if the pattern is free and you didn't know about it. The maximum price for a free pattern is 10 coins. By "free pattern" I mean the patterns which can be downloaded for free on the internet. Another case the price can be lower is that if you upload more than one file at a thread and charge more than you can. There's a rule about the maximum price you can charge according to your level. The forum will correct it automatically if you upload one file per thread.

About the amount that you'll get, it'll be a bit lower because of the forum's tax.

Thank you for the explanation! But still I have a question, when uploading a patter what do we have  ...

You are not obliged to change the read permission. If you leave it "Unlimited", it means anyone can download the file. If you change it to DIY2 (level 2), for instance, it means users from level 2 and higher levels will be able download the file. A user who is at level 1 wouldn't be able to download it. If you leave it "unlimited", everyone will be able to buy the file and you'll get more coins. Got it?

Hi, moderator said I uploaded a duplicate and needed to “search better”.
The file they listed is named incorrectly in both pattern name and designer name.
I’m not too sure what we’re expected to do if patterns are allowed to be uploaded so incorrectly? The only way anyone would find this pattern under the incorrect name is if from they search the designers birth name which isn’t advertised publicly and must be digged for to find.
Whereas my “not approved due to duplicate” pattern is listed under the correct names

Hello. First of all a big thank you for your hard work, Admins and Moderators. Ive been wondering for how long does it takes for a thread to be approved by Moderators? ive seen some of them being done in few hours but others are taking more than a day. Is there a reason for that? i mean it does depends on language or how the title was written? Kind regards, Caly

Hmm my screen doesn't have those options.

The image doesn't show up when I save the draft either.

Take a look at this screenshot of a thread I'm moderating now:

Para ver a permissão, passe o mouse em cima do nome do arquivo e você vai ver "Read Permission" e um número. Se não tiver essa informação, quer dizer que não tem restrições.

Para entender melhor qual nível representa esse número, observe abaixo:

Read Permissions:
Níveis 1 and 2 - 80
Níveis 3 up to 10 - 90

Can anyone help me please? I did all steps but it seems all uploaded files are pending!!! I submitte ...

I just found one of your threads and it's still to be moderated. After uploading a file, you need to wait for that file to be moderated. After we check out if everything is Ok with the file, we'll approve it and move it to the right forum. That's how things work here.

Hi

Can you please clarify where to put the gold coin price if you don't use the buttons with an "x thread price" as shown in image #4 above.

I saved a knitting draft but I could only find a place to enter price where the "x thread price" is.

4- Do not use the following buttons with an"X"

Thanks!

Trying to edit what I uploaded to get it right but...

I definitely do not have the line that star ...

I've been reporting to the administrator all users who have such problem. She says she's talked to the technical team about it but it may take some time to be solved. Let's be patient, please.
