Do you know about the Serious Critique Category?

[Joanne Roberts]

Thanks. I had no idea. Are there instructions or best practices for the forums anywhere, because they aren't very self-explanatory. Thanks

[burvantill]

@Joanne-Roberts yes and no. Lol.
We learn from others as we go.
I think basic kindness throughout and be specific when asking for help/critique.

@burvantill I had no clue!! THanks Lisa!

[braden H]

@burvantill It seems to be unavailable to me. Odd thing is I REMEMBER it being available before. Maybe something changed?

@Braden-Hallett weird. Chris is having trouble to. I just told the authorities. So hopefully it will be fixed soon.

I’m looking forward to really slamming some people.

[chrisaakins]

I can see it as a category when I'm not posting.

[VeronicaMui]

Same! I went back and tried again and my menu is the same - can only view it but unable to select to post there as it’s missing from my drop-down menu. I use a tablet, not sure if that makes a difference or not.

[Ghadeer Nemer]

yeah same problem here, I can't see it when. I am posting , I hope they fix it soon.

[Chip Valecek]

I moved it out to its own category. Can someone let me know if they see it now?

[chrisaakins]

@Chip-Valecek still not there when you try to post.

[Joanne Roberts]

I'm not having any trouble. Perhaps it is the device? I am on a desktop mac.

[burvantill]

@Chip-Valecek I can see and use it, but I've always been able to. On my iphone using safari and my mac using chrome.

[Jonathan Malski]

This is currently what I see:

("Contest" is the last topic at the bottom of the list on the right that is obscured in the above image).

I didn't see the "Serious Critique Requested" topic when I made mine a few days ago, so I just put it under "Artwork."

[Rachel Horne]

@burvantill thanks so much for sharing this, I've been here quite a while now and did not know this!

[chrisaakins]

@burvantill @Chip-Valecek this is so weird. I wonder if it’s because you are a moderator? Or I wonder if there is a setting some of us have. I have tried on three different devices and I can still only see it when viewing posts, but not when posting. (Android, windows, and iPad)

[Mary Toth]

I didn't realize that existed and I've been on SVS for almost a year now - so thanks!!

[Chip Valecek]

I might have to delete it and try to redo it. I wonder if permissions on it are messed up. It will not allow me to edit the permissions. I will look more into it this evening.

[burvantill]

@Chip-Valecek Thanx Chip!

[Amanda Bancroft]

@Chip-Valecek Awesome, thanks Chip! Did you have any luck yet? I still can't see or use the Serious Critique category either.

[Heather Boyd]

@burvantill I had no idea. I'll have to remember that for the future. Thanks, and I am always appreciative when people give me feedback done in the right way. I just checked and I only get sketchbook under artwork, none of the other 3.
