A technical question

[Senna Jawa]

Two of my (separately) submitted poems are pending. I'd like to edit the last one. A time ago it would be possible to click on its submission page entry and the text of the poem would show up in the on-line editor. This convenient feature is not present anymore. Is there today a new and clean way to edit a pending poem?

Regards,

Senna Jawa

PS. A new comment under an approved poem shows 75% on the "thermometer", which is an equivalent of vote 4, but the new minus old average difference shows that the vote was 3. Funny.

You have been away for awhile! You no longer can edit submitted work on-line.

Supposedly, you can submit an EDITED version of a pending work and that will solve the problem. If you do this, you might want to enter special instructions in the 'Note' box, to bring your problem to someone's active attention. I have heard that when this procedure is followed for pending work, the EDITED version will replace the original pending piece before it ever sees the light of day.

Once something is posted, an EDITED version will replace it in anywhere from 1 to 10 days.

Good luck.

Hm, that's a pain (sigh).

This way I have a certain poem twice the same, in my Lit-archive. The only diff is the "EDITED" in the title . Ironically, both are hot but the one without EDITED is a little bit hotter (now that I have mentioned this, one may bet that they will get knocked from the hot status ). Because of that mishap, and of the general inconvenience of the procedure, I am not editing my poems in the archive, despite the fact, that Literotica has messed up their formatting in many cases. It's funny when people sometimes praise that nonsensical formatting. That's the power of suggestion (and of the text too, when it is able to overcome such odds against it).

That would be nice.

Thank you, LeBroz, regards,

I have overcome my laziness and posted that poem again, as EDITED. I followed your suggestion about the note too.

I mentioned the discrepancy between the thermometer of a comment and the vote. In my opinion such discrepancies should not be allowed. If someone voted, say 3, and later writes a comment, then the thermometer should automatically reflect that earlier vote.

Thank you again, LeBroz, regards,

That would stop people being two faced and end civilization as we know it!

Thing is, do you want a vote or a comment? I believe you can turn voting off and still be rated through the comment thermometer. Man Ray did this to his poems because he was po'd at people leaving (in his opinion) troll votes on his poetry. Perhaps he'll be glad to consult.

That's strange. Must me a mistake in the handling from Lit in that case. Because with that procedure, it usually replaces the old version with the new one, as well as removes the EDITED tag from the title. I have done this a few times, and they all replaced the old poem, never left me with double entries.

Send a PM to Laurel about it, and she can delete the old one from the list.

Happy Ending, clean

LeBroz, my poem in question is already posted (admitted) in its newer version. I am glad. Thank you again.

Liar, the formatting issue is not related to the EDITED thing. Literotica changes its rules. I am particular about the way my poems look on the screen, thus I was taking advantage of what was offered at the time. Later Literotica somehow reinterpreted the files or possibly they even modified them (the html tags or something like this). Thus at one time I had a lot of poems displayed in a font so small that it was very hard to reqad them. Now I have a bunch of poems which are displayed with every other line added as an empty line. It's horrible .

Terrific!! I know there's nothing worse than knowing of a problem with a pending work. Getting it fixed before it appears before the public feels far better than just having a good piece posted.
