Default klaT writers

are many other writers having trouble submitting articles?
I'm wondering how widespread these "glitches" are...

Sometimes things load slow. Every once in awhile the site won't let me submit, but if I wait an hour or two then everything is fine. Most times everything goes through fine. From the message he sent, My guess is the servers are getting overloaded and slowing things down. I encounter most problems as it approaches the Saturday cutoff, which would make sense since more people are likely logged in and posting then.

I've been unable to submit material since yesterday.
First nothing would submit at all, and then articles appeared to go through but vanished.

I'm worried, because I count on this income...

I havn't written for klat in a few weeks due to these site issues. I was contacted by Josh asking why I had not written. I told him and he said the site is indeed have issues and they are working on them.

I won't be writing for them until it is fixed, I don't have time to wait for the system to load my blog posts, and many times the platform times out before the post can load. very frustrating.

He said he would let us all know when the site is fixed. So far I have not heard from him and this was about a week ago.

I had this happen to me once a couple of weeks ago. I submitted an article and was able to view it when I logged in a few times. When I went back later to see if it was approved, it was gone. I emailed Josh about it and he still paid me for it but asked me to re-write the said article and submit it by the end of the day. I have not had any issues since then.

All I can think to do is write them all in .docs,
& then hope the site issues are fixed in time to submit them by the deadline.

I always write articles in a word document first. I learned this the hard way when Wisegeek crashed as I was finishing an article, and I had to write it all over again...on my birthday, of all days! So I keep everything in word docs, at least until after I am paid for the work. I have only written at klat twice and the site was slow, but both times it was Sat. so I guess that is why. I just open other tabs and surf the web while I wait for the site to load. Good to know that it's still slow today; now I'll be prepared with some reading material or something for the wait, lol.

Josh informed me in an email that the site should speed up by this weekend. If not, to let him know if a problem comes up. I was going to try to post mine during the week but, as usual, everything else kept getting in the way. lol

It has been loading slow for me as well. I have only been able to get about $30 worth of work done for them each week because it is just so frustrating. Hopefully, they have it fixed soon because I really like this gig.
