Title: New Game Uploads
Post by: benpcahill on July 17, 2018, 04:41:54 PM
How do I go about uploading a cover for a new game? Nothing I've sent has been approved in quite some time...

Thanks.

You cannot contribute to the site anymore!
It has been mentioned on the forums a couple of times already.  ;D

The upload function has been broken since like February. There seems to be some technical issue, that prevents the cover admins from access to the database. Thus they cannot approve any new covers to the site.

The site owner (and technical support for this project) has not managed to respond to this issue yet during these last 5 month, and nobody seems to know how to contact him...

If you want to, you can upload your covers to Mediafire or Dropbox and post the links on the forums.  :)

It has been mentioned a couple times (a day) already.  lol.

FTP access broke.  Snowcone has to fix it.

Upload to an external site as PX0 just mentioned, and post them here.  Uploaded covers to TCP (when FTP is back up) don't get graded and reported back on what is wrong when rejected, but if you post them on the forum (if they are good enough), everyone can tell you if it is good enough for the Nazi upload standards or not.

This is the best news ever! I would like to wish Snowcone good luck on fixing the site. I miss seeing new covers being put on the main site.

Hopefully Snowcone shows up! The site is more difficult to use without the upload process..

While he's at it, can we get some vetting of the ads in circulation? I mostly view the site on mobile and every so often I get some intrusive pop-up/redirect ads telling me I won a free Kindle or some crap and I have no choice but to close the window.

Well, something does indeed seem to happen...?

Yesterday there suddenly was some anti-DDOS software checking my browser before I could access the site.

Today I thought the site was down, but it appears only the redirect to the main site is broken. The url "Thecoverproject.net" does not redirect to the homepage anymore, it only returns a blank white page. (Instead "Thecoverproject.net/index.php" works.)

Same thing happened to me.  Clear you cache and it will start working again.

Heard thru backdoors that there indeed was DDOS attack yesterday or day before.

If you see those, holler at me with details. Ads are provided by Google Ads with the occasional fill in by Sovrn and I'll submit issues to them. I definitely don't want bad ads on the site.

I sure will, thank you. And also, thanks for getting the cover upload fixed. Awesome to see new covers going up again.
