Once upon a time, we could enter text in our photographer notes during a challenge.
We might not be able to change that text until the end of the challenge, so that we could be sure to fall on our swords should we have inadvertently or advertently abused challenge rules... oh the horror, but we could still see the text we had entered.

But alas, no more. Either that or the site is eating text/not recording notes.

What is your experience?

i think i added notes to at least one of my entries in the past month or so during a challenge and it DID show up when i hit "submit changes"... but i also think that was before the site outage, so there's that...

I thought I did that recently as well. I went in through my portfolio and then could choose the image and was allowed to add information only. Not sure how that related to the site outage. Alas no active entries to check now although submitting one tonight.

Just checked my free study image and was able to see/add notes. The message says additions only because it's in voting. But I'm able to add.

This is still correct -- if you access the image through the link in "MyPortfolio" you can make additions to the notes.

I have 3 images in voting. It works for 2 of them but will not record entered text for the third. I've noticed this on some entries in the past, but just assumed I'd forgotten to hit 'save changes'.

I seem to remember that when you add something to the comments while in voting you cannot see what you had previously written there, had you writ, but it is still there. and so sometimes I repeat and people think I am leetle nuts.

This is true, but as SC I can view the comment fields on entries, and I can verify that Skewsme's "test" worked on two of them and not the third, which is odd.

I had that happen once, but never again after that...
