[suggestion] "My Active Contributions" page for the Library

[Deleted User]

I sometimes accidentally close the tab with the "Upload Complete" button and FTP credentials. Why not have a page that will list your in-progress contributions so that you can always go back to the upload page? (It would also help if there was a list of finished contributions as well, so you could avoid duplicate uploads)

If I find some time I'll upload a mockup screenshot. Please reply with feedback or ideas if you have any.

I just did my first submission last week and was thinking the same thing. The completed contributions list might also reduce the number of people coming back with "hey I submitted this x days/weeks ago and I still don't see it, what the hell!" If it's as simple as pressing a button when it's done that might be nice, but if its more complicated it would just add more work for SomeGuy to do that he probably doesn't need.

Okay, here's the mockup. I did this somewhat quickly, so please excuse the mismatched fonts.

When you start a contribution, you are supposed to receive an e-mail that also has the login information and a link to the page. You can also bookmark the page.

Will try that. Thanks.

EDIT: Huh? I didn't get any emails. If it's okay with SomeGuy, I will create a test contribution and see if I get an email for that. Also my email is an outlook.com account so that may have something to do with it.

EDIT 2: SomeGuy-- bookmarking the page isn't an option for me. For reasons I'd rather not explain. So I rely almost entirely on these emails working.

Totengeist

I never received an email either (and I checked my Spam folder).

Yeah, it seems like site wide emails are broken, and not just with the janky phpBB 3.0 sending out 3000 notifications for 1 event anymore.

Anyway it's kind of ugly still and doesn't have the fancy badges the ACP does or pagination but it'll do for now: https://winworldpc.com/library/my/contributions

Thanks!

What is the difference between the New and Uploaded statuses?

I don't want to ask too much, but a reason for rejection would be nice (if present).

stitch

The difference between new and uploaded is whether or not you hit that "I'm Finished" button. Once a staff member is preparing your contribution it will show 'Processing', followed by either Rejected/Public.

Snazzy! I like it! (Says the person with one contribution to show... :roll:)

This is really useful. Could you add a link to it to the little menu that drops down when you click on your user name in the library?

Please revive this.

This will only come back once the staff have re-opened contributions from the site. Until then, you can get instructions from the various posts SomeGuy has made about contributions.
