The Issue of the Create Button.

52 Comments

1. There are many issues than the ability to create a button. It would have been better they have addressed the issues and the status of development. Again, it appears some of the newest members’ posts are published in their hundreds (forgive me for the exaggeration) in a single day while the rest of us have to wait for a single post to be published.
   Somehow, the old members have some bad luck here…

   • When you look at the financial aspect, it is very clear. Those who earn and have almost reached the threshold need to be held back. The Newbie who has earned a wapping 45c can keep publishing.

     • You are right. I have noted that. I read a comment by Vidocka where she was penalised for the number of Virilys she earned. While I’m not usually very active, I have noticed the trend of holding back old members by publishing a single post never mind the members have submitted many posts.
       And, Virily wouldn’t care if it loses some members because more members are joining in.

       • Virily looks for those good writers who get a lot of hits, blocks them, and reaps from the good writer. I’m waiting to see what happens next month.

   • Yes so it seem, it is hard for people and does not seem fair..I hope the issues can be cleared up soon

     • It isn’t fair, never was. Admin doesn’t care. It is pocketing our money.

2. I have no problem with the create button but the non-approval of posts is getting to the nerves of many members.

   • I am sorry for some people I am fortunate to be able to create posts.

3. I do not know technology at all, but Virily seems (this is just my perception) behind the times. Or their personnel is not very adept… I can still create personally (which I am very happy about) but my posts are in a long queue as they appear rather later than before. I feel helpless when I read all the other member’s woes concerning Virily. The only thing I can say to them is hang in there, don’t let go yet, wait a little bit longer and keep your hopes and heads up high…

   • So true History Gal, you are right.

4. As you know, I still can’t create. No response from administrators.

   • Hence this post Vidocka, hopefully this will soon be resolved soon, hang on there, we are hoping for a response soon

5. I agree with you. What you say here is what everyone is waiting for, whether they can’t use the create button or vice versa, because everyone who is active here is affected by the issue.

   • Yes, I want to help those who can’t use the create button but it is up to the Admin of Virily to do that..Hope it comes right soon.
     Thanks Albert,

6. It is easy to fix; remove one line of code which sends those of us to wordpress.

   • Thanks so much Jaylar hope things come right for you soon

7. I’ve been able to create but it’s taken a few days for my posts to be approved.

   • I can post my content straight away and am most fortunate but sorry that some are not able to create a post. Thanks Bradley

8. The error is assuming this is some random glitch. It isn’t. All those who can not create are, as soon as they enter their user name, routed to a section of wordpress. As long as they do not enter their name the black strip of wordpress does not appear.

   If they use a different browser, they have the standard page. If they enter their user name, instantly that create button disappears.

   What those of us who can not create are waiting for is when or if we reach the threshold and are paid.

   • Yes, it is not really fair at all Jaylar,, this bothers me..

     • I think the owners thought we were stupid so that they could lie to us and we would bow the head. Unfortunately for them, there are those of us who realise their tricks. They were sloppy.

   • Are you saying that it works with some browsers but not with others? That could be a software rendering issue. I have no problems using Chrome, though I will probably be switching to FireFox in December when the changes to Chrome kick in.

     • NO. I am saying this; if you open a browser; go to Virily.com, you see the normal page. Then you log on. If you are one of the despised, as you log on, up comes the black strip which means you are routed through wordpress and can NOT publish as you will have NO CREATE button.

       If you are on another computer, and bring up your usual browser and go to Virily.com, you get a perfect screen. UNTIL YOU ENTER YOUR USER NAME.

       If you create another user, you have the create button.

       Simply put; those of us who can not post have been selected. It is NO GLITCH.

9. I feel so bad about the people who cannot create new posts. It is sad and unfair.

   • Yes so am I, which is why I created this post..I hope to be able to help..

10. I guess there was a problem with releasing a new kernel version of the site.
    Sometimes, with automatic changes, it’s likely to affect users, as happened to me.
    The records of who I am, who my friends are and what I have posted, as well as many other official information are stored in different tables in the database and if the connection breaks – the user’s profile loses functionality.

11. I was answered by email saying they are working to resolve the issue …

    • Thanks so much for your insight Georgi, lets hope that people can create posts soon…

12. All we can do now is guess and assume what is going on. Until Virily decides to let us know the issues we are sort of in limbo. I suppose the ones that can create should continue. But for the rest it is so unfair.

    • Totally agree with you Carol

13. I am wandering what is the difference between a verified and non verified user? Can any one clarify this?

    • A verified user is a user whose posts aren’t moderated. They can publish their posts when they want and have the freedom to publish as many posts as they have. Most of the oldest members have this privilege.
      Unverified are those of us who have to wait for the moderators to publish our posts when they want and if they want to publish a post or reject it.

      • Thanks for the clarification. But how the user become verified? is the oldest members are only verified, user?

        1

        • Just keep on publishing posts Giri, over time you may become verified…

14. Let’s hope that Virily gets all this sorted out soon. It would be nice if they could be contacted and replied to peoples questions. This would certainly help in getting some questions answered!

    1

    • Yes it certainly would make a difference thanks Coffee Queen

15. Well I can create but that would be of no use if my posts don’t see the light of day. the only ones who benefited from all this is the other verified members.

    1

    • Well said I wonder if some see my posts but I can see quite a few people replied to this one..Thanks Dawn

16. About 1/3 of the users cannot create. Most of them joined between 2.5 years ago and 9 months ago. The newest users do not have the issue, the oldest users do not have the issue.

    • Thats interesting…a certain part of virily in the same time frame..Thanks Doc

      • it is, I suspect wholly an issue of how the accounts were created. (my guess)

17. One of my posts just went up live on the site, so the person is back to work. I hope that it continues to run well. I like this site much better than other paid to write sites that I have been on in the past.

18. Yes, well I am hoping that some one who can make a difference to these unfortunate people can make a difference.
    There could be an issue of some one being sick…
    Which is sad.
    Thanks Rachael.

19. I gather that this problem affects non-Verified members, so it does not affect me. However, I have had problems in the past that involved not being able to load images when trying to create a post. This problem was only solved after another member contacted Admin on my behalf, because I was unable to do that either.

    I am sorry that Virily is creaking at the seams. Let’s hope it gets its act together soon and is able to retain its membership and continue to be a valuable outlet for many creative talents!

    • Yes, it has been a worry that some of my friends on Virily have not been able to create posts.. I am a verified member and can create posts…but it seems unfair as some of them have been unable to create posts for over 14 days.

      1

    • it is really about age of user accounts rather than verified, non-verified.

      Brand new users (less than a year) can post. Older users (both verified and non-verified) can post.

20. Not just not being able to Create many of our posts were not approved for more than 8 days . Just yesterday they have started the ball rolling.

    2

    • Well, there are some that still have the issue of the create button, Vidocka is one of them.. I am very concerned I suspect she is not alone.

      2

      • Unfortunately we are helpless.

        1

        • So it seems, I hope Virily can get back on its feet again

          1

          • I sent them a thank you email for publishing my posts and they replied. They told me one of their staff members is on leave and so…All will be approved by Friday that is tomorrow.

            Atleast I am happy they are responding to my emails.
