Prose Formatter drops newlines

The most common issue: "I'm trying to log in, but the password is wrong and the password reset email is not arriving"If you checked your spam folder and there's still no email, you most likely used a different method to sign up. Try pressing "Continue with Google" button and see if you can get in. In 90% of cases that's the reason:)We're working on making our session length longer so you don't have to log in that often, and also want to find a way to connect multiple methods in one, so you could still be able to log in with email and password even if you signed up through Google. Until then, thanks for being patient with us😀

Most journals take multiple poems in one submission. It would be great to be able to enter them all at the same time.

Multiple Poems to one submission

Dick Westheimer

Hi all,Not sure if this is permitted, but I couldn't find another way to broadcast this information. Abandon Journal's managing editor, Phillip Scott Mandel, declared support for Israel on Twitter on October 10th 2023 and has not revoked his support as of November 13th 2023 in spite of the genocide enacted by the Israeli government. For anyone else, like me, who aims to condemn genocide, please do not consider this magazine for submissions anymore.

For the Rattle, submissions like Poets Respond and the Ekphrastic challenge are quick and will throw off your normal Rattle stats. Could you consider adding these as a magazine subscription option? Thanks.

Suggestion

It would be great to have a poem previously submitted to another journal show up as a suggested text string after entering the first few letters of the title of the poem.

first day

First day and see no obvious way to get started on submitting a piece. Already written and saved on my laptop, but not uploaded onto ChillSubs yet. Can you set up a START A NEW POST or START A SUBMISSION or START HERE or something similar? Thanks.

Getting started

When I go to update a submission to "rejected" I have to select "rejected" for each poem in the submission. IN between I get a pop-up (rejection bingo) that I have to clear AND re-search for the journal as the tracker clears the search criteria. Sooooo, would you either make feature for updating each poem in a submission with one check OR just allow me to proceed through a list without the pop-up and the clearing of the search criteria.

Bulk status update

It's me again - sorry! There seems to be another bug in the filters - they don't seem to mesh with the premium services. For example, when I use the browse function and put in filters for the usual stuff (genre, word count, open, no fee, vibe, country etc) all is working, but as soon as I add try to filter by piece (premium), the country filter stops working. I've tried it with a couple of my pieces with the same result each time, so that would seem to be where the bug sits.

Another problem with filters

I'm a new paid subscriber. I just spend an hour "browsing" and it takes the cursor forever to jump to a newly selected field. I selected a few basic criteria (at least to my mind) and it comes back, "I'm sorry, the literary world doesn't live up to...yet" but that can't be right. Also it's hard to tell if I'm selecting criteria or excluding everything else. All I wanted was "available in print, publishing writers with disabilities.." is that enough to keep anything from showing up? I'll have to try again. A tutorial for the tech-weary would be nice.

Sticky Browse Form and Hard to Figure Out

Allison Strong

I was wondering if it would be possible to add a national flag to each magazine's database entry. Often the things I write have a very English vibe that wouldn't translate well into other cultures (especially US!), but at the moment I have to leave the My Pieces section and go back to the general Browse listings where I can filter by country. It would be really useful to see at a glance where a magazine is based, even if they claim to be international.

National identity for magazines

FYI. About a year ago, I discovered Chill Subs, and as a publishing writer, I immediately loved it. However, since the database has grown from 2K to 3K, and perhaps integration with Write or Die, the latency on the filter form and page results is so slow that it has become almost prohibitive to use. Maybe it’s your hosting server, IDK, but I hate to see this happen to your excellent web site and such a critical service to writers. Hoping for the best moving forward. If it helps, I am running IOS 17, using Safari on an iPad 4 with plenty of RAM. And BTW, I am willing to assist in UI/Usability testing if need be. Thanks.

Performance slow

Now that I can enter longer work into My Pieces (thanks so much!) I find I am unable to add suggested magazines to the submissions plan. I get a message saying 'Oof! Something went wrong', and that magazine disappears from the list of suggestions. Also, every time I look at a magazine or click on submit than go back, all the filters have been cleared and I have to start again.

Can't create a submission plan

Howdy! 🤠 Could you guys please add Bottlecap Press to your database?

The numbered list button in the editing function in My Pieces doesn't seem to work. The only number it knows is 1. Nor will it let me turn it off and number manually!

Numbered list function

Some of the suggestions for places to submit using the My Works feature are very useful, others not so much. For example, suggestions of poetry magazines for a piece clearly identified as a 900 word flash fiction story are note great. Now things have gone a stage further - the submission history tells me I sent the story to a poetry magazine on August 15th, which I definitely did not!A chance to add the suggested markets to my bookmarks list and to hide those that are not relevant would be very useful.

[Premium cabinet] Algorithm needs some work

The new top line of navigation doesn't appear to be working, so there is no access to any of the cool new features! I can't access, my pieces, bios or the formatter.

Top navigation not working

When I tried to save a specific magazine, it isn't appearing in my bookmarks. When I pull up the specific magazine's page, though, it says it's saved and in a specific folder. I'm not having this issue with any others, just Denfenstration.

Bookmarked Magazine Not Saving

Still unable to access 'See recommendations' in My Pieces.<img src="https://fb-usercontent.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/1704648773852.png">

Still getting an error message

In My Pieces, clicking on See Recommendations gives you a 500 Error - Internal Server Error. Probably something very minor.

Submission plan broken again

From their website: "Asiatic is an open access journal and does not receive any sales proceeds. Hence, to meet expenses, it expects contributors to pay a fee of RM1000 per article. The question of fees arises only when an article is acceptable for publication. Therefore, it will be wrong to presume that an author can publish in Asiatic their subpar manuscript with money. Once a paper is accepted for publication, the editorial team of Asiatic will provide bank account details and other necessary information."However, the database says it pays accepted writers RM1000, which is quite misleading.

Asiatic Journal -- misleading info on the database

Hi team, I've been trying to add my first piece to 'my pieces', but when I click save, it takes a long time to load and then doesn't save. Have tried a few times.

Can't add pieces

A while ago I reported an error message (Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information) for some of my pieces when trying to see recommendations for a submission plan. I think I've worked out where the bug sits, because it seems to correct itself when the sub-genre filter is cleared. Don't know if it's all sub-genres or just the ones I used, but thought this might help you to track it down.

Client-side error

A small thing, but I just noticed that some of the fields for the n+1 database entry seem to be populated with info for another publication (A Story in 100 Words).

I can't quite figure this out! thank you.

How can I mark a rejection on the tracker?
