Need help testing Critique Arena submission process

[AustinShurtliff]

Hey everyone,
We want to test a new submission process for Critique Arena before we decide if we will implement it. I don't want everyone to try submitting this way, just a few subscribers (around 5-10 total). If you are willing to try this please reply to this post so I know who all is going to try it. You will not need to post on the Critique Arena website if you do it this way. When you are ready to submit just use this link.
You might be required to login to your SVSLearn account first, but as long as you are currently a subscriber it will still take you to the submission page after you have finished signing in. Feel free to email me your thoughts or feedback on this new process (austin@svslearn.com). Thanks!

@austinshurtliff I was just getting ready to submit it so I can give it a try.

[AustinShurtliff]

@demotlj great! Let me know how it goes.

[Asyas_illos]

@austinshurtliff I will give it a go! I will be wrapping up a second submission probably by tonight.

[AustinShurtliff]

@asyas_illos great!

@austinshurtliff It certainly seemed easy assuming it got submitted. Two things — one is that the “what do I need to know before I submit” button didn’t seem to link to anything, and 2. When I first chose the file to submit, I could see my image in the submission box but then after uploading it, the upload box showed a long file name instead of my image. I was then asked to press the submit button but now I could only assume the long file name was still my picture leaving me a little uncertain about whether I had actually submitted the right thing.

Hope that helps.

@austinshurtliff just submitted this morning! It was very easy, I was asked to login, also I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to make it a little bigger, I tried but it still seemed small for the space there, but I imagine it’s just the format and the guys will be able to enlarge as needed when they look the entries over? Thanks Austin!

@austinshurtliff Cool! I'll give it a try. (I likely submit mine on the 28th)

I am still new to this site, and I have not yet contributed to Critique Arena yet, but I wouldn’t mind helping out if you need someone.

Hi Austin, I just uploaded my second entry for the month. It was very user friendly. The one thing I would mention, is that it said nothing about how you want the file saved re: first_last_date.jpg. And I think this could pose an issue for newcomers into the arena.

[AustinShurtliff]

@demotlj thanks for the feedback!

[AustinShurtliff]

@asyas_illos thanks for trying it out! Your submission looked great.

[AustinShurtliff]

@angelinakizz that's a great point! I can add that to the instructions on this page.

@austinshurtliff hey Austin, um, silly question I can’t remember if I submitted my second entry… anyway you could check for me? Sorry lol

[AustinShurtliff]

@asyas_illos the one with the pasta? Yes, you did.

[Asyas_illos]

@austinshurtliff ok thanks, oh duh, I was thinking I submitted the first one with the car thru the svs site but I just remembered it was the second, man this prompt has thrown me off my game lol!

@austinshurtliff I can try

[jenn]

@AustinShurtliff I submitted mine just now.

[jenn]

@AustinShurtliff I don't remember, was there supposed to be an email confirmation or was that only if there were problems with the submission? Could you please tell me if my submission went through? Mine is the one with a large triangular kite. Thanks. - Jenn.

I can help test it...but I have already posted mine on the critique arena site. If it doesn't matter, count me in.
