We're aware that some people are having issues with submissions but since so many go through without any glitch at all it means you have to track down the possible causes of the error.
I can't be positive for the simple reason that I can't see what people are using for the title, tags or descriptions. But I do know that symbols and even text from other languages aren't fully supported here.
I also know that sometimes something as simple as this: ' is enough to cause it to spit out a database error.
What people don't know, since staff doesn't post a daily list of what got worked on, is that in addition to a new format being worked out, glitches like that in different areas are being found and addressed.
Doesn't make it any less annoying when it happens to you though. Aside from bringing this up again with Adam, for now the best suggestion I can give is to make sure your title, tags and descriptions are plain.
Try something very basic and to the point so it goes up and then go back and use edit to pretty it up. I realize this sounds tedious but if you notice that one paticular deal shoots back an error every time, then we can either fix it so it will work or you'll know to not use it.

*hugs* Thank you for the suggestion, though I think I'll wait a bit before trying again. I had written lengthy description under the feeling of the moment and I'll have to wait until I get that feeling back, or else it's all going to sound very boring and mean ._. Good point, though, maybe the tags are at fault here. Though Mariskah told me this has been going on for quite some time and hasn't been fixed yet.
Well, I haven't had this problem for a while, but that same thing DID happen to me before! What I did....like what made it work was that I submitted the card without any tags. When I did that, for some reason, it appeared fine. THEN I edited it and added the tags. Try doing that if you haven't already...or if you can, rather. Cause yeah, I noticed I tried viewing it and couldn't lol!! I hope you get it to work. :(
I sent a PM to Mariskah about it, since she messaged me about the removal of my card (which is perfectly normal, since it was bugged). Let's hope we get an answer soon.
And whatever you do, do NOT install patches in TS3! I know from the experience of others. And, well, maybe you'll play some more when you have more time :]
Oh yeah, I remember the card thumbnails not showing thing. Maybe it can't be fixed because it'd break something more important in the process? Dunno, just throwing it out there :
Reminds me a bit of TS3 - whenever they release a new patch, they break something else. Fortunately, it's not so serious in the case of TheO :D
Aaah, which reminds me the error about images still hasn't been fixed so I have to keep my Alphabet Cards project on hold, although it's been like that for months D:
I don't know, really, there are so many bugs and none gets fixed...

I don't really know, but my Alphabet Meme is ruined because of it D: And if it's unfixable, then I really don't know ;____;
Still hadn't installed any TS3 packs, hope I will one day, but I'm not sure, it's too addicting and I don't want to procrastinate further XD;
