Private lists

Laspimon   September 22nd, 2012 12:10a.m.

Some time ago I subscribed to the list "Chinese People, one should know," by Roland. I have left it in my among my other paused lists, for later, when I have the time. Today, though, I tried to open it, and got the following message:

Home > Vocabulary Lists > ???
List Inaccessible
This is a private, unpublished list.

I find this very impractical, but I guess it could have been avoided, had I just remixed the list. So is that it? Should I click the remix-button every time? And wont I miss out on updates if I do? Wouldn't it be more practical if subscribing to a list automatically created a remix for you, so you wouldn't need to experience this?

Of course, these were just the names of celebrities and politicians, so no big deal. But I would be very sad to lose, for example "现代汉语常用词表 words 1-6000," by YueMeigui or "Chinese movie word frequency list 1-1000," by Mandarinboy.

The list: http://www.skritter.cn/vocab/list?list=115425147

I think something is messed up with the custom published lists. The usernames that are listed in the 'created' column are incorrect (and if you click on it, a different user pops up)

I am also having problems accessing published lists. There seems to be a general problem. I hope it would be resolved soon.

Roland   September 23rd, 2012 12:16a.m.

This seems to be a real bug. Even I cannot access my own list. However, a second list, which I also published, has no problem (500 chengyu: http://www.skritter.cn/vocab/list?list=161565733).

lechuan   September 23rd, 2012 2:06a.m.

I also cannot edit 'list information' properly in one of my custom lists:

Every time I press "save changes", it keeps looping me back here: http://www.skritter.com/vocab/listedit

lechuan   September 24th, 2012 7:34p.m.

Just wanted to bump this in case it got missed.

BTW, does anyone know what character you use to bump a thread in Chinese?

nick   September 24th, 2012 9:59p.m.

Scott has uploaded a few fixes related to this. I re-saved both the lists--are y'all still seeing the problems with them?

Nicki   September 24th, 2012 10:16p.m.

Bumping in Chinese:


dǐng

apex / crown of the head / top / roof / to carry on the head / to push to the top / to go against / most / to replace / to substitute / classifier for headwear, hats, veils etc / to "bump" a forum thread to raise its profile (internet slang)

lechuan   September 24th, 2012 10:25p.m.

Hi Nick,

1) I still don't see the incorrect usernames show up in the "Creator" column.

2) When I try to access one of my custom (unpublished) lists ( http://www.skritter.com/vocab/list?list=213048735 ) I get the message:

"List Inaccessible

This is a private, unpublished list."

Thanks Nicki, I'll make sure to 顶 next time!

Laspimon   September 24th, 2012 11:59p.m.

I still cannot access Roland's list.

swimming   September 25th, 2012 3:39a.m.

I cannot access the lists "Read This Way 1" and "Read This Way 2" from the textbook section.

BryantSullivan   September 25th, 2012 12:09p.m.

I cannot access either of the "intermediate kanji book" lists for Japanese

scott   September 25th, 2012 4:35p.m.

Looks like a bug that made its way through beta without detection. Okay I've uploaded a fix, you guys should be able to access lists properly again. Sorry about that!

Laspimon   September 26th, 2012 9:27a.m.

Seems to work. Thanks, Scott.

lechuan   September 26th, 2012 11:38a.m.

Thanks Scott, I can access my list now.

However, still seeing the wrong username in th creator column.

scott   September 26th, 2012 5:44p.m.

What do you mean by creator column? Do you mean the text that says:

Made by: lechuan

Isn't that what it should say?

lechuan   September 26th, 2012 5:46p.m.

Sorry, I did not state very clearly where I was seeing this. I should have referred to this page:

http://www.skritter.com/vocab/customlists/published

lechuan   October 4th, 2012 1:32a.m.

顶 :)

scott   October 4th, 2012 3:02p.m.

Yep, fixed this yesterday, but it's only on beta right now. Will go live on the 15th or so!

lechuan   October 4th, 2012 9:53p.m.

Just tried the beta version. Still see the wrong usernames in the creator column, and lists created before Sept 6 show 'null' as the creator.

lechuan   October 5th, 2012 3:14p.m.

Seems to be fixed now. Thanks! Though, I can only see the 1st 100 lists (beta).

scott   October 5th, 2012 8:58p.m.

Good catch. Uploading another fix!
