I recently entered corrections for two seasons of a series "Q&Q". Both were listed as received, and both got 3 yes votes and 0 no votes. (Corrections were also the same in both).
The first is now listed as released, and shows up for downloading.
The second does not show up for downloading, but has disappeared from the list. So no clue whether it was accepted/released or declined. (8-711983-477155).
Is it worthwhile uploading again?

Submit it again. It's not the first time something has disappeared and been spaghettified.

This seems to happen more and more lately, but I haven't been able to find a "common factor" in these disappearing contributions yet. Also see this recent thread:

This finally happened with one of mine.  It was one I submitted and after a couple votes a user pointed out an error I had made.  I wasn't at home to fix it and resubmit overtop of the entry already there so I withdrew it.  When I got home from work I fixed it and resubmitted it.  So in "My Contributions" it showed 2 entries for it, the one I withdrew and now the new one I uploaded.  It was fine until Gerri processed it, so I suspect there's a bug in the Accepting/Decline process when there is a Withdrawn entry for the same movie.

Seem to be having the same problem.  Have withdrawn and resubmitted a couple of entries and they seem to have disappeared.

Do I try to upload again?

cheers,

Ken

As a post script, several new entries ( no prior withdrawals) I've upoaded just seem to appear blank;  some have worked normally though?  Is the problem more widespread than would first appear.

I've had this same issue occur from time to time, but the contributions have always stuck around and gone through after the second submission.  Unfortunately, this isn't happening with one I've been trying to submit for American Wedding.

I first submitted it on 7/22 and it received at least one YES vote.  It was completely gone the next morning.  So I put it through again on 7/23.  A couple of days later, it disappeared again.  I decided to wait a few days and see if the third time would be the charm.  Submitted it last night and it didn't even stick around for an hour.

It was never approved/declined, just simply...disappeared.

Your (3) entries can be found in the contribution notes, but indeed without a conclusion about acceptance yes or no. But voting on them is on longer possible.

My contribution for HD DVD version of The Host 876964-001014 disappeared into the black hole.  Funny thing is that my Blu-ray version of the profile was accepted.  Very strange...

There are probably hidden motives here. See the formats discussion...
