I have a question. I just realized that I may not have paid attention to the number when I posted my secrets. I posted 3 in the last submission post. One got posted, but two didn't. I guess that means my last brought it up to 700. Does that mean my last two go onto the next post or do they just not get posted at all?

[case]

Were they n!s/n!f/too big/etc? Are you sure they were in the same submission post?

[philstar22.livejournal.com]

Hi. You said both of mine were repeats. However, they were not posted last week, and when I asked, you said that you had not see them. That is why I posted them again. I was told they had not shown up, and they were never posted.

[case]

Oh, sorry, will post em tomorrow

[beloved-tree.livejournal.com]

Hiya!

Um, I seem to have remember you occasionally pimping out especially awesome fic/fandom memes from time to time on the comm? jamaillith has one going here (http://jamaillith.livejournal.com/155879.html), a Disney/Marvel crossover meme, and my first thought when I saw it was "fandomsecrets would probably love this."

So, uh, IDK, any possibility of a link? :3

[case]

Sure, I can link it tomorrow (:

[(Anonymous)]

Can it be that I've posted a secret in the submission post on August,31 and it hasn't been posted yet?
I'm sorry, I still don't get the system of posting and updating here :DDDD

[case]

Yep. Everything submitted last week will be posted this week, everything submitted this week will be posted next week, etc

[britt-m-89.livejournal.com]

I've posted three secrets. One got posted, but I haven't seen the other two. One's a Charlie Bartlett secret and another one is a Dark Knight secret. Did you ever receieve them?

[case]

→ 7. What determines which secrets get posted when? ←

We take the total number of secrets for the week then divide by 7, and that's the number that gets posted daily. Also, they are not posted in order: we go through them picking at random, so it's not like one person that submitted 10 secrets in a row or something gets a whole post to themselves ('cause that'd be pretty boring, don't you think?).

→ 4. Why has my secret not been posted yet? Can I resubmit it? ←

It could be one of many reasons. Before resubmitting (to limit the number of repeat secrets for everyone), please re-check these things:

A) When did you submit your secret? Secrets are posted starting the Saturday after the Submissions Post closes, not on the same week. If you submitted it this week, it's posted next week, and so on.
B) Has your secret been posted as a not!secret, not!fandom, et cetera?
C) Could your secret have been labeled a personal attack, which are not linked to at all?
D) Did you post to the Suggestions Post and not the Submissions Post (we've had this happen more than once)?

If you're sure the above things aren't the problem, please resubmit! Either LJ messed up with comments or we accidentally deleted it (though we usually realize and leave a note when this happens).

I have a question~ Is there a restriction on how much the image should weigh for it to be posted? I want to use a gif in my secret (nothing too ridiculous, weight-wise), but I don't think I've ever seen one posted before.. so I figured there might be some rule on this.

[case]

Nope!

[vickyblueeyez.livejournal.com]

I was wondering if wow_secrets and heroes_secrets could be listed in the specifics section in the profile. thanks

[case]

Would they like to affiliate?

[(Anonymous)]

I want to make a few fandom specific comms (which I wanna afill with this one) and I was wondering if you have anything against someone copying your profile layout/info? If not, could you send the html code if I pm you? Thanks

[case]

Just rightclick and copy it off the userinfo page if you want?

Affiliate?

[mod-maintainer.livejournal.com]

http://community.livejournal.com/startrek_secret/
is where new secrets are posted. They didn't want copies from fandom secrets so

Star Trek Secrets Archive (mine)
http://community.livejournal.com/st_secrets_arc/
was created that has the past secrets of st from fandom secrets for ppl to comment on. Could we be affiliates and placed in ur user info? Thanks

Re: Affiliate?

[case]

Sure!

Hallo! It seems that I was most foolish and didn't remove an image link (http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/6410/40212805.jpg) from my clipboard after copying, so I accidentally posted it and de-anoned, as they say. The secret hasn't been posted yet -- I submitted it just today, within the last two hours -- so may I request that it not be posted? That way I can at least pass it off as an old secret or something instead of being embarrassed >.> Thanks for your time!

Re: Request

[case]

The subs post is still open, so you can go delete it yourself, if you like (it's only after it's closed taht you can't)

[amyrat151.livejournal.com]

I sent the link of my secret, I did it correctly, as far as I know. And it still hasn't shown up. Is it because there's so many, and I just have to wait? I sent it like, 4 days ago, at the very least.

I submitted a secret last week, and it was linked in tonight's post. However, it appears that Imageshack has transformed the jpeg I submitted (and checked thoroughly, so this must have happened within the past couple of days?) into a 1x1px transparent gif.

I'm guessing that this is imageshack's problem, so would it be okay if I used a different hosting site and resubmitted? Or will it just be labeled as a repeat?

[case]

Yeah, that's fine, since the secret never showed up at all.

[(Anonymous)]

I normally wouldn't ask this, because it sort of falls under "why hasn't my secret been posted..." but I added one to the submissions post waaay late (like, after the Friday secret had gone up but before the new Saturday submission post). Do submission posts stay open until the new one goes up or is there a chance my secret fell through the cracks -- in which case I'd want to resubmit now before the current sub-post closes...

[case]

Open til the new one goes up!

Dear technophile,

Could it be possible if I could get an entry from here (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomsecrets/375109.html?nc=985) pulled from the set? I feel that the second one under not!secrets is a violation of my own account seeing as how my screenname isn't blurred out and it's a direct attack on me and my moderators at the community we all run (as stated in here (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomsecrets/57206.html) and in the FAQ (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomsecrets/104153.html#cutid1)). The moderators have all felt that they have been severely hurt in some way by this image.

I hope that would be enough grounds for it to be removed.

Thank you,
Mmrobitussin

[case]

Yep, sure!

Hi there!

I posted about 7 secrets total in the last submission post, and I've noticed that four of them didn't end up in any of the secrets posts. Since you're starting a new secrets round on the 7th, and today is the 6th, I was wondering if something went wrong? I checked all the broken links/not!fandom/too big links at the ends of all the posts and none of them are mine. Also, none of my secrets were personal attacks, so that can't be it. Should I resubmit, or wait to see if they all somehow end up in the Nov. 7th post?

[case]

Did you submit them to subs post 148 or 149?

[alpha-orionis-v.livejournal.com]

Where are the little text bits under each secret telling us the fandom? They've been gone for about a week now, and I like F!S a lot less without them.

[case]

"Optional: If you would like your secret's fandom to be noted in the main post along with the secret itself, please put it in the comment along with your secret. If your secret makes the fandom obvious, there's no need to do this."

If people tell me what the fandom is with the secret, I post it up. If they don't, I don't. Not much more I can do, I don't know every fandom there is.

[(Anonymous)]

I sent in a secret that I believe ought to be in the current batch for this week- but I didn't list the fandom at the time I submitted. If I can provide the URL, would it be possible for you to find it and add that?

[case]

I can try my best!

[zalixethbe.livejournal.com]

I'm concerned that a secret of mine has not shown up. I submitted it and a number of other secrets to the Sunday Dec. 5th post, and all of the others ones have, I believe, been posted by now. Is this secret maybe still in the queue, or would it have been posted by now? It is, of course, possible that I accidentally left it out when I submitted secrets, but I don't want to resubmit and accidentally cause a repeat if it might still be in the queue.

[case]

Did you post it on Sunday the 6th? If so,

http://community.livejournal.com/fandomsecrets/387968.html

The Saturday after that is the 12th. The batch with your secret in it started being posted on the 12th. The week isn't over yet.

[case]

Link to it? Posted all the ones I got.

[christycorr]

Hey! I was thinking of reposting funny secrets and whatnot at a @fandomsecrets twitter—would that be a problem? Would it be okay to use that name?

[case]

Sure, just make sure to note it's just someone reposting stuff and not actually a mod or part of the comm or anything!

I know this sounds kinda self-centered, but...

[(Anonymous)]

I seriously think my secret has been skipped over.

I say this because a secret I submitted on the seventeenth and it should up on Sunday's FS, but a secret I submitted two days before it or so.

It was a Psychonauts secret, if it helps. And if it hasn't been skipped over, well, just pretend this post isn't here~

My latest secret was too big the first time. I resized it and then reposted it. Now it's listed as a repeat even though it's not, because it wasn't posted the first time. What's going on?

[case]

Reposts are repeats.

Hi. (:

I'm the 2nd year med student who made a secret!kink post on last week's submission post. It was near the end of the week. I've looked through all the posts (and secrets not posted) twice and don't see it.

The only thing I can imagine I did wrong is that I posted the picture two different ways in the same comment: once directly with the URL, as requested and once coded into html to display the image. Out of habit, sigh.

Was I doing it wrong? If I repost it on a different background (it is such a secret I deleted the jpg off my hd after posting, lol) would it be considered a repost?

[case]

From the FAQ:

Secrets are posted starting the Saturday after the Submissions Post closes, not on the same week. If you submitted it this week, it's posted next week, and so on.

Since you posted it last week, it will be posted this week.
