Was on the site earlier and things were normal. Now I notice many changes. Format changes. The font is smaller on the posts and the Ranks page. The photo automatically uploaded with this post, without two steps like usual. Everywhere I look there are changes.
Changes can be good, but an explanation would be helpful.
The profile is setup differently. Many changes I am still finding. But I have not found a message from Virily to let us know about the changes. That would be nice Virily. Why not let us know what changes are happening?
Instead we are left to figure out what is different and what is going on. Explanation would be nice!

There are really many changes. I’m still doing a little research and learning. Some things are good and some are not the best.
Happy hunting my friend. Stumbling in the dark.
Too bad any comment, dear friend
I know what you mean. We have seen this happen before.
I wish you a nice weekend, my dear friend
WOW! Eeyore is popular today! Congrats! At least controversy sells. I know, I know, you would much rather earn Virils another way, but facts speak louder than words, we all LOVE you girl, well, I do…
Well, I noticed the changes yesterday and thought what is going on! I use Eeyore usually when there are issues. He is my backup. 🙂 Thank you my dear Andre.
I still haven’t found where our drafts are stored or went to. If anyone has found this, please send me a message! Otherwise, I like the changes. However, a notice should be sent out to all the members or a banner posted.
There is a great explanation for that here…. Let me know if you still need help after reading this post. It is easier if you read the post:
https://virily.com/virily_poll/virily-changes-how-to-find-your-draft/
Thanks, Carol. I am off to read that post now. What was planned to be just a quick check-in here has turned into a long one!
You are so welcome Karen. Let me know if you need help.
I mention Virily’s poor communications with their users in my post about them needing to make changes, https://virily.com/business/time-to-move-quickly-for-virily/
So I wholeheartedly agree with this post.
I agree with you Pal, I keep repeating myself about communication.
Sorry, it should have read Paul. Wish we could edit comments.
I agree the changes came out of the blue and we should’ve had some prior warning. I am pleasantly surprised though and I hope the new Virily will run smoothly.
I am trying to hope for the best. Good to see you.
Its great to have changes explained, you are right Carol
I have sent emails asking for answers, nothing so far. 🙁
Well, I agree with you!!
It’ll be good if we can be informed!
We have been down this road before, not a good feeling to be in the dark.
I have sent emails asking for answers, nothing so far. ?
Yes , Virily should announce changes publicly
Oh well, I guess we can only hope for the best.
There are so many changes – I agree with you a banner would help. Otherwise, we will end up with misinformation about how and why things are or are not happening.
Nothing has changed here. No communication remains the biggest problem.
They actually fixed the poll issue for some of us.
They changed the look and feel of the site.
One of the things I proposed to the admin team was that they start adding a change banner when you first log onto the site.
so far crickets – that was nearly 2 years ago.
Crickets are everywhere. Nothing new.
I have been asking for emails, posts, banners, any form of communication for years now. Oh well
i would say they struggle with English, but many of the authors are English as their 3rd or 4th language.
i don’t know what to say anymore.
Dear Carol, I am very sad, some of my posts have disappeared and I really think I have lost earnings too as a result. This is horrible, I want my articles back.
I understand and many other members are having all kinds of issues. Hopefully things will change and maybe we will get communication from Virily.
My virils do not appear to be updating. I have made around 5 comments but only received 1 viril
Doesn’t sound good. Maybe soon we will get resolutions.
I cannot find the drafts or maybe I have been missing the menu?
Someone has put a post up on how to find them Alex.
The draft is still functioning. Click the profile photo then notification. Click the menu on the right which contains three lines. Click the second post not the first. The first only offers editing feature. After clicking the second post which is towards the end of the menu, click the menu (three lines) that appears in the middle. You’ll see the draft.
I forgot to say this is when you’re using a smartphone. I haven’t yet accessed Virily on a computer.
The first menu is on the left, not right. Apologies.
Again it’s the second post that offers editing feature not the first. After you click the post, browse the post you want to edit. You’ll see three dots, click the dots and you’ll see the option of editing.
Thank you Introvert for your information. 🙂
Was on Virily earlier today. Now it is late evening and everything looks different. Is it good or bad? Only time will tell. I read somewhere that Estonia (where Virily is stationed) is Europe’s Nigeria. I just hope it is not true…
The fact they pay and the some interesting features they’ve implemented have increased my level of trust. I hope it isn’t a Nigerian scam.
Hmmm…as a Nigerian, I kinds find this slightly offensive.
Boy those scammers do make a bad name for Nigeria don’t they. I am so sorry. We know there are bad seeds everywhere, and that is not how Nigeria should be portrayed.
Very well said Kim. None of us know what is going on. Take a pause perhaps.
I didn’t mean any ill. I was referring to a section of Nigerians who involved in fraud. I do know majority of Nigerians aren’t scammers. Every country seems to have something specific related to it both good and bad.
I think I was offensive when I wrote that comment. But in my defense I just repeated what I read somewhere. I am truly sorry and I apologize sincerely. It will never happen again.
Same here. These changes started late evening.
Yeah, well right, same old same old, right Carol? No comms from Admin. Besides all the stuff everyone has mentioned, my experience is all of the above as well,(missing posts, etc.) with an additional one, I know that I have been on the site for 4 years, I was member number 107 yet I was never credited for it badges-wise, now there is a figure 4, thanks Virily for that. I had lost many dozens of articles from my first year. I simply Googled my Tranquilpen brand and there they are, until I click on the URL…Poof! nothing. Just like Bubblews. I’ll just wait and see what develops,it could be great!
I am hoping for the best but I do not like being in the dark.
You are so very right about this. Hey, here is something we can do to traverse stuff in stuff In The Dark: https://youtu.be/moFiaQPCl04
Communication is something Virily needs to work on. Everything is great here except that.
Have been saying that for years Dawn.
I hope with the current changes even this will change. Keeping my fingers crossed. 🙂
I have sent emails asking for answers, nothing so far. ?
I had to put in a different profile photo otherwise there was no longer any photo.
So many changes. I hope it will get straight soon. Virily needs to make an announcement of some type.
I think they already Removed the daily login bonus , Earnings in Views and Comments.
Which is NOT GOOD and I’m MAD at these . I love more the OLD Virily .
Which u can Earn$ in Viewing post , comments and daily login bonus
Compared the New virily Now it’s Useless
If virily do it I will Leave these site
But I just see that Thiers an Error our Earnings when we viewed , comment in post is NOT Updating it need to be Fixed same in daily login bonus
Jasmine, nothing has changed except adding new features. Things have been arranged differently. I have not experienced any problem with commenting or replying. I know it will be solved if it’s not working on your side.
When you click your profile photo click the numbers that are followed with virils e.g. 54 virils. You will see the virils you’ve earned for viewing, commenting and publishing a post.
Thanks for that, Introvert. But this does underline Carol’s point about the importance of receiving some sort of explanation about what is happening. Without that, people are very quick to jump to (often wrong) conclusions.
You’re right Norman. They should have provided a guide how to navigate the site after making changes to the site. If the admin were ever helpful in communicating…
I forgot to say the direction I offered is limited when using smartphone. I haven’t accessed the new site on a computer.
Thanks Norman but it seems to be the same story repeating.
Jasmine, We are all concerned and hopefully this will be resolved soon. Virily needs to announce what is going on.
What I am hoping for @Carol DM is something that actually comes from site admins explaining the changes. I think that would be the best process. (Not that it matters what I think.)
Yeah, like they have done in the past right! Ha I am not holding my breath. However, anything is possible, right? I will hold out for hope.
Me either but it would be nice.
I did not notice that there are missing posts.
Yes, Ileana, I have many posts missing from my profile.
Try clicking on “More” then “posts”. You will find them all, there!
I found them after I posted my comment, thanks!
Yesterday my posts total was more than 700, today it is 550 – so where did 150 posts disappear to, and which are they?
Interesting. I wonder if this error will correct itself?
Who knows Indexer without communication!
Without being negative, as members of this site, VIRILY, we should know what is going on and why some of the posts are missing.
I think that the changes are a good sign, they are trying to improve the site. Hopefully, there will be some verbal explanation soon.
I think they are too but soon explain what is going on. I have posts missing.
Not trying to be negative, we just all deserve and need answers. 🙂
I have noticed the changes which are quite good. But, as you said they should have notified us of the changes beforehand. The admin…
They are good except for missing posts, but the overall look is positive, we just deserve communication from the site.
Not trying to be negative, we just need answers. 🙂
That’s true. I don’t know why admin employ silent treatment to the members of the site.
I haven’t checked my posts though I saw they indicated I have 40 posts (quite a few). Maybe they’re reducing posts for those who have many.
It has always, always been like that. Frustrating.
I hope they will address the issue of the missing posts. I have to dig deeper into the site and know what and what not is there on the new lookout.
Time will tell what happens. I will hope for the best.
The changes are pretty visible. The site looked better and quite faster too.
But somehow, the notifications and vigil counts are not updating, it seems.
Many things are no happening, maybe they are still updating. Who knows, a guessing game as usual.
Some of my posts are missing, I hope they magically return.
Hmmm.. I haven’t noticed that yet. I’ll check my posts.
Well, I got the notification for this reply. I think they are still working on the update…
And yeah I agree with you that the admins should have at least a banner or at least about the changes that they are making..
I have talked about this lack of communication for years now, literally years, but to deaf ears it seems. 🙂
I think they should hire someone who would blog about the updates and and other info
Woah, these are some big changes. I kinda like it. Looks more professional, and yes it would be nice for a hey, you might have noticed, bla bla bla. Okay so,, next question. HOw many changes were there. Just popped in for a second and had to respond to this.
Yes and also… many of my posts are missing. I hope this is temporary. No idea, I keep finding things everywhere I look!
I agree, I like the look so far but not sure what all is going on yet. Stay tuned I guess.
Again, as I said above, not trying to be negative, we just need answers. 🙂
I was just reading about the missing posts. I am sure there will be bugs, hopefully this is just that. A lot of work went into the new look. But yes, I totally agree, lack of communication is their thing though as you know.
The change is quite surprising and at the same time more pleasant, and indeed it would be better if there was a little explanation.
There is no reason why we cannot be told what is going on instead of finding the changes. They seem to be improvements, but where is the reasoning? Oh well it is what it is right!
Not trying to be negative, we just all deserve and need answers. 🙂
I can fully understand your point, Carol.?
I have changed too. Normally I go to my notifications bu I saw your post and here I am respoding to it first (lol). I did not even have to login the page opened. The number of notifications have been reduced. I have yet to see what other changes have been made.
What do you mean you have changed too? I am talking about the site.
I am finding more changes as I look around.
My style of working here Carol. I know I have spotted changes on the site but have yet to see the whole scenario I normally go to my notificatins first but instead I responded to your post first and that is the change I am referring to.
Got it, thanks for explaining.
I just checked my mail. I have received payment.
That is wonderful news! I got mine this morning. 🙂
