This is not a post to complain, this a post to explain. There is a huge difference. For the past few days there have been many glitches. Some of the posts finally went in twice. Some of them have completely disappeared. It seems like the wise thing to do would be to stop and wait. But with no communication I have been playing hit and miss. I think I will continue on with that idea in mind. If there are still people who can fix things, surely they will when things get better. So as for me. I will keep trying, keep writing, keep going because that is what my inspiration would have done. Tenacious should have been her middle name.
I assume there may be others here who just keep walking by their computer and give it another shot. We’ll see how it all comes down.

This is the Point….
I log on this morning. Lots of new items have been published. Three items I posted on Friday have been published. I attempt to publish another article.
But!
I can not post an image.
Other people, as I try to post, ARE POSTING. Other people have no problem loading an image. But I CAN NOT POST AN IMAGE at this moment.
Why me?
Too many articles earning too much money. Owners don’t want to pay me.
I also have many problems, I am just stubborn and persistent
If you can’t publish, look at the front page of the site… see what items are there. Come back after about thirty minutes. New articles have been published.
The front page has changed.
The fact is YOU are being blocked, NOT EVERYONE.
I, for example, have not been allowed to publish SINCE FRIDAY. Other people have published every day.
The dishonesty of this site and its owners …

Yes, I’m trying, although I have a lot of Problems… keep going!
A polite way to describe you might be “resolute” rather than stubborn.
Perhaps you are correct. I will try that title for awhile.
We will have to be resolute again today as apparently the glitches continue despite their earlier “scheduled downtime.” I like that phrase better than the gateway errors, grrr.
If the servers are bombarded or down, it doesn’t matter how often you try… give it a half hour and then try again…
Ahh, so the key is patience? I could try and develop some of that.
there are generally two reasons why you’d get 500 series errors, either the server has too many connections and is timing out or the server is down. either way, you need to wait until it can service you…
Yes, sometimes I get a lot of trouble but keep on trying, but sometimes my life just gets too busy. However, Im grateful for virily and the opportunity it gives me to post.
That is an excellent point. Thanks for the positive reinforcement.
I’m trying, although I have a lot of trouble
I do what I can when I can and that’s all I can do.
I guess we are all stubborn.
Well the I consider myself in good company.
With respect, just like the imaginary ‘virils’ it is not a glitch. It is a deliberate dishonest practice sites adopt to not pay the writers. They stop you from writing by these ‘glitches’ so that they cut down on what they must pay. Hence, you have $8.50 and they do not want you to earn that next $1.50. So you can’t publish a thing.
You may notice that there are new quizzes or a new article on whatever… but YOU can’t upload that image, or save that article.
It is just like the ‘pending’ which ‘pends’ for weeks.
It is not beyond the control of the owners, it is their control.
Oh, well that is one way to control costs. I guess every business exists to make a profit.
sure… and trick us
Last few days site was very often down or to slow to do anything.

How do you know that you are not allowed publish anything? Did they send you message or mail?
I didn’t mention blocking, I’m talking about site functionality. I check it few time and it was not only for me down.
If I can’t post but you can… what does that say? If I can’t post an image, but you can? If it was down for everyone than the front page wouldn’t change. The same ‘latest’ articles would be there… but they arent’. Meaning that to prevent a writer from reaching the threshold they are stopped from publishing.
About an hour ago, an item I put in for review on FRIDAY appears.
This is not a glitch this is deliberate.
The next time you can’t post or save an image, etc, look at the front page. Go and return, notice, the Front Page has changed, but you can not post or save an image.
I am trying for now, we all have a limit.
