Event Postings Disappearing

It's there. I see it.

Look at the TABS:

* all posts
* topics
* photos
* listings
* events
* reviews
* requests

* all posts (all of the below)
* topics (text posts ONLY)
* photos (photos ONLY)
* listings (listings ONLY)
* events (events ONLY)
* reviews (reviews ONLY)
* requests (requests ONLY)

Click on Events at BaGG or SF Goth, and there's your listing. Or you can click on All Posts and you'll see everything, and scroll down to find your event.

Name a specific tribe you aren't seeing your event in, and I'll go see if I can see it.

Okay, gotcha now. That IS weird.

Those are THREE listings on DIFFERENT dates for the SAME event. Should show up THREE times, then, right?

Nope.

Only the most RECENT posting, that you JUST posted this morning shows up. That IS weird.

So I did a search, and let's see...

listings not appearing
topic posted Fri, September 21, 2007 - 8:41 AM by Mickey

I created a listing and posted it to a handful of regional groups, and it doesn't seem to be appearing in those groups where "listings" are supposed to appear. New bug?

I Can't Erase My Listing
topic posted Tue, September 11, 2007 - 8:30 AM by Kara

There are two identical listings that I posted quite a while ago and when I open them up it says that the listing can't be found and therefore I cannot erase them...

Every time I click a listing it always says that it can't find listing ..

This is the standard for every posting ... why is that

I'm seeing this problem a lot more lately.

So. It's screwed up. But you knew that. No one is deleting, rest easy about that. Or dance about it, which sounds a lot more fun.

It looks like there have been many problems with the some of the options. Why did I post about listings and not events? Because searching for events brings up all posts with the word "events" in them. And guess what? All posts have the word "events" in them. And searching this Bugs tribe for "Bugs Events" wants to bring up everything.

Lo and behold:

My events keep dissappearing!

It happened a few times now, I am posting events and after a short time one or all of them are dissapearing! Why?

======

So, it's happened before. There is a response from Jenni in there, and they needed the urls back then, so I'd guess they need them now, and I just posted them at the top of this post.

If they have a chance to look into it, I think that is what they will need. You may also wish to copy and paste that trio of links to all three of your event postings and send them to help (at) tribe.net

It is the weekend, and I don't think they generally do a lot on the weekends.

You may also wish to contact some/all of the moderators to ask if it is okay to post your event as a regular post, and put in the text of the message title that it is an event.

BUT, you have to be careful, because that could be considered SPAMMING. Gah! No easy answer.

I guess you may HAVE to keep adding the listing back in, every time you notice it's gone. Which sucks. And forward the info to Help.

I just checked, and each one is acting separately, they are not being counted as one. If I load the oldest page, it adds on one view. If I load the newest page, it adds on one view to the new page, but another view is not added to the oldest or middle page.

Huh.

Well, I am of no help.

But you have the three urls, and that's good. They all are "active" links, but the two older ones don't show up. Where do they go? Why are there other listings in those tribes that didn't disappear over the same length of time?

If you're a chatty guy, make sure to post it in your profile and copy and paste a short blurb at the bottom of each post you make. Something like "Visit my profile for S.F. Social Dancing!" or "Ask me where I dance!" or something clever.

Yup, if I go to Postings I've listed from the drop down menu, it tells me I have not posting listed.
If I go through the "My Stuff" it shows up ...once or twice but eventually disappears.

The listings are still in the tribes sometiimes... just not in my stuff, so I can't see or edit.

One mistake that people often make with events is setting the start date incorrectly.

The start date should be the date that your event starts. If it's a one-day event, as most are, it should be the date that the event happens.

A lot of people mistakenly set the start date to the day the event was posted, either because they don't change it or because they think that's the date that the event listing should start appearing on the site. Tribe deletes event listings after the start date has passed[1], so people post the event then it disappears the next day. I don't know if that's what's happening here or not, but it could be.


[1] This seems goofy, but there's actually a fairly good reason for it. It has to do with spam event listings.

my events show up on my profile as thay should,but when click on then there is nothing there and i need to update them, ect. what can i do?
