Please, need help submitting proof

11/22/2010 11:09:24 PM · #1

Hi guys, I've been trying to submit my proof for the blue ribbon I just won in Off Center Subject. I cannot for the love of God submit the proof. It just doesn't go through. I've typed the notes 2x now and it wipes it out and doesn't go anywhere with my RAW file.

Admins, please help.

Try submitting a general inquiry ticket and attach your original to that.

OK, thanks, I'll try that.

It's not working. I've tried it over and over. It just sits on that page and doesn't go anywhere. What do I do?

How long have you waited. The RAW files from the 50D are about 20 Megabytes. When I have to submit an original it takes 5-10 minutes for the upload. Until then, it looks like nothing is happening.

Thanks Yo, I wish I knew that... I thought it would go faster and I kept clicking reload... Silly me. I need to take a patience pill :))) It finally went through.

Most internet services have much faster download speeds than upload. Even if you have 3-5 Mb/s coming in, your upstream speed may still be measured in Kilobits per second.

Just for the record, when submitting stuff like this it's best to type your notes in a word processor and save them; then if something goes wrong you can just paste 'em in for another attempt. That's what I do anytime I am moved to make a really long forum post, too...

No, I think Robert uses Edlin.

Microsoft Word isn't a word processor? My bad...

I've heard that some writers still prefer to use a typewriter because they "don't want their words processed". As far as Robert goes, what is the literary equivalent of Topaz?

Adding extra detail, which can add depth if used correctly, but if overused tends detract.

without Topaz:

The old drunk stumbled back to his cold apartment.

with Topaz:

The male gendered homo sapien far advanced in the years of his life, being in a temporary state in which one's physical and mental faculties are impaired by an excess of alcoholic drink, walked unsteadily back to a building containing a room which was a group of related rooms, which had a relatively low temperature, that belonged to him.

I think I've been dissed. I'm not sure. Let me think on it a bit. I'll let you know. Or do you already know? Are you sure? I was dissed once, a few months ago. I think. I'm pretty sure I was. I remember how it felt, to be dissed. I know I remember that. I can't remember why I was dissed. Or even how. But I remember how it felt. When I was dissed. So let me think about it. It won't take long.

You know Topaz is more than one filter, each equates to a certain style. I like spicify, which when properly abused looks like James Joyce sounds.

Spicify!

Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the fumerous stink, and weezled down the lanky strouche, bumba thump bumpa thump, his old black cloak sustained behind by the gusty night till he bumped agin the door to his shivery solitude, and entering sunk into his pillow.
