Viva la innovation!
Amy, how much of a backlog in videos do you have? I submitted something yesterday morning and it still hasn’t made it up. I re-sent the entry form with link and “I accept terms” again this morning since I was worried it hadn’t gotten to you…
We have the same issue. We submitted the video to the DesignMine 2009 Design Challenge channel on Youtube last night. Its status is “live” but it hasn’t shown up in the channel yet. We submitted the entry form and got no confirmation. So we did it again. Our paper supporting document (under the paper entry) disappeared this morning. So we had to put it up again. We also emailed the diabetemine.com webmaster hoping to know if something might go wrong with our entry.
Hi Everybody,
No worries. Four videos came in last night, and I just got to approving them now. All is well. Please check the YouTube site and your video should appear there now (with the exception of one that was far too long — I am contacting that entrant).
Best,
AmyT
I’m still not up. Entry was called ChaosTracker, 2:02 long, submitted around 6:30 am EDT on Thursday. I’m listed as a member of the group under “drjekyllandmrslow” so you can get to the video that way.
I see it there now – thanks!
33 entries in 2008, and 126 entries this time. Hope the judges won’t be too overwhelmed with all these entries!
Hi Amy, Actually i faced similar problems with my uploads. I had uploaded a papr entry by the name of ‘the budD concept’. All done , the form filled…i hit the save changes button but there was no response from the system. I was well within the deadline. I uploaded t once again filled the form again but same problem. Please confirm if there was a mistake on my part. I am sending you the url of the upload..It is showing some people viewed it but somehow I am not able to see it on the diabetesmine website…:)
