Help! My edit got swallowed?

[txfan]

Hi! first time author here.

I submitted a story here: https://www.literotica.com/s/baywatch-secrets-stacys-show

Then I submitted an edit following the instructions here: http://www.literotica.com/faq/05235347.shtml#05313767

For a week they lived side by side, the original one still published, while the edited copy was still stuck in pending.

Yesterday I ran out of patience and emailed memberhelp@literotica.com to ask what was going on

Today, the edited copy disappeared from "Pending" and the original one still remained

Is my edit lost forever? did I do the edit wrong?

I think probably Laurel is looking over the edit and it will soon appear.


The best way to find out what's going on in a situation like this is to PM Laurel. Go to your Private Messages and type her name in the "To" box. Laurel is very good about picking up and responding to Private Messages, but emails are notoriously left unanswered for EVAH!!!!

Good luck.

Once the "Edited" submission vanishes, the changes requested have been made to the original in the database.

However, the changes will not appear on the public side of the site for 24-48 hours. ( in my experience, it's very close to the 24 hour mark every time ) This is because the public side of the side is cached.

Also, all the changes may not appear at once. Page one may update, while page two remains the old version for a little while longer. So on and so forth. Once it begins updating, it won't be long before all the changes are visible.
