I saved a gothic draft and couldn't find it there ...the load button was on 'save ' option as if nothing had been saved. happened twice already and it was a draft containing so much work...
Did anybody else have this problem?

I've just lost four hours work ... wouldn't finish reloading and couldn't save draft, again. It was Mona Lisa ... I'd been wondering what she was smirking about! Seriously, I'm devastated! You have my sympathy, Shanley.

My sympathy to both of you. What could be done?

I think I probably overloaded the drawing with pixels. I had done the background in detail ... a mistake ... should have just concentrated on the face because I was very pleased with it.

There were warning signs and I didn't heed them. The frame started flickering. It took me about four hours and was done in stages throughout the day ... whenever I reloaded, it didn't reload pixels in the order that I'd placed them there.

I find that, too.. always made me think that if you try and see how someone else has done a pic, you will never be able to see the real sequence..

.. but Shanley and Login - my heart goes out to you.. this is where I normally just switch off (or wander off) in utter frustration and the loss of the 'best' pic I've ever done !

I'm part of the club too. I was trying to make a SUPER ANIMATION, worked on it for two days and when I went back for the third day of work on it, poof, it was gone. Rachel should be able to do something about this I would think. Rachel???

Well, I am sorry to hear I wasn't the only one who's lost drafts. I suppose the good thing is that the other TD-ers who see this, will be wise enough not to start their drawings unless they have time to finish them. At least until this problem is solved by TD. Best wishes to all and keep up the good work!

On another topic: I am concerned about children on this site who give complete information about their locations. When I notice, I put a comment on the picture asking them to edit their info. Most recent one joined just a day or so ago. http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=1563.
Can Rachel help with this?

Darn, that's the wrong picture. Person goes by 2e1hmi69he.

It's a difficult situation for TD to even begin to take on the responsibility of censoring, age verification etc... on a personal level Rachel may, but the legal twist of formalizing it is messy.

I've added a vote and a note to that user. Tempting to write to the parents at a given physical address such as that, but there's another can of worms... welcome to reality in an enormous, virtually connected world.

You're right of course. Could even be law enforcement trolling the ethers - though I seriously doubt it. It's a shame to have to take the shine off that innocence too.

Well spotted, Normal. Three of us have now sent messages to her ... we can only hope she takes the advice.
