So confused!

Im really confused!

Yesterday I tried to upload/share a pattern. Both image and file errored - gave me something like an i/o error then vanished and would just repeat the same problem each time I tried. It didnt tell me I didnt have permission or give me an error I could understand, it just failed to upload. So, I saved the post as a draft so I could come back to it - and it. . .submitted it for moderation. Now I see it was recycled. Wait, what?? That was a draft - shouldnt it have saved to my box/page/something privately so I could return to it when I could figure out the problems with the files??

Do I not have permission yet to share files? *so confused* I cant PM a mod to ask privately because I dont have permission.

Thanks to anyone who can clear things up for me!

If you in Dyi.0 you have not enough coins to download a pattern, a tip, earn more coins and look at usergroup right above
what your permissions are. They had and have still some technical problems, they try to solve it, so have some patience please. :)
If you in Dyi.0 you can send one message and not more.

This site has had some technical issues recently. Please try uploading again.

You can share at any level. But there seems to be a problem with the forum and certain things are not working at this time. Just keep on trying. The saved draft button is the same as the new thread. Both will send your share to the moderators. Just be patient and know theyre working on it and will get it all sorted as soon as they can.

Oh. Ok! Good to know. Thank you. I thought I was doing something drastically wrong and could not figure out *WHAT*.

And, yes. Sounds like the drafts button does *NOT* do what I thought it did! Sorry to cause extra work, there, Mods!
Ok. Will go back and try to share that file again today. :)

I was in the same way yesterday and the day before yesterday. :)
