COMMUNITY : HELP : BUGS


Last year's Egg Bot Challenge- My entry has disappeared.

My very first Ible was Orange Spiced Tea Eggs .  I am 100% sure it was entered in The 2011 Egg Bot Challenge.

I was toodling down Memory Lane today, looking at all of the great ideas and projects from that challenge... and my entry is gone.  lol... now I just want to know where it went!? ! ;-)

I'm getting used to disappearing comments, and the repeat comments that mysteriously appear where I typed something else (and make NO sense), causing people to think I must be smoking crack...

... but vanishing entries? I do not use drugs.  Even if I did, my entry would still be missing. 8-/  It's no big deal, obviously, but more of an unsolved mystery-thingie.

Is this another system bug?

It may have been abducked by eggtraterrestials. Stranger things have happened around here.

The programmers have dropped a few things as of late, hopefully they will find it.
Goodhart in reply to caitlinsdadMar 8, 2012. 5:11 PM

Goodhart in reply to bajablueMar 9, 2012. 9:59 AM

caitlinsdad in reply to GoodhartMar 9, 2012. 10:47 AM
No official reply yet, they must have pigeonholed it.
bajablue (author) in reply to caitlinsdadMar 9, 2012. 3:12 PM

caitlinsdad in reply to bajablueMar 9, 2012. 3:17 PM

Goodhart in reply to caitlinsdadMar 9, 2012. 4:20 PM
ha ha bad yolk !
caitlinsdad in reply to GoodhartMar 9, 2012. 4:29 PM
I guess that one didn't go over easy.
Goodhart in reply to caitlinsdadMar 9, 2012. 4:49 PM
It didn't shell out much, for sure.
caitlinsdad in reply to GoodhartMar 9, 2012. 4:52 PM
They better hatch up an explanation or they will have to peck their way out of this one.
Goodhart in reply to caitlinsdadMar 10, 2012. 7:09 AM
I don't want to hear another PEEP about this LOL
bajablue (author) in reply to GoodhartMar 10, 2012. 9:19 AM
LOLOLOL!
Did caitlinsdad fly the coop? I'm still waiting to see who will rule the roost.
caitlinsdad in reply to bajablueMar 10, 2012. 8:45 PM
I am not down for the count yet. My feathers don't ruffle that easy.
bajablue (author) in reply to caitlinsdadMar 11, 2012. 11:51 AM
ok... just chicking.
caitlinsdad in reply to bajablueMar 11, 2012. 12:01 PM
I may be a few short of a dozen but I didn't want to come across as scrambled.
Lithium Rain in reply to caitlinsdadMar 11, 2012. 12:33 PM
That seems a little over-easygoing...
caitlinsdad in reply to Lithium RainMar 11, 2012. 12:49 PM
We'll cross that road when we get to it.
Goodhart in reply to caitlinsdadMar 11, 2012. 1:16 PM
Just be careful not to just "wing it" or you'll become a chicken pancake.
caitlinsdad in reply to GoodhartMar 11, 2012. 1:31 PM
Now you're just battering me up.
Goodhart in reply to caitlinsdadMar 11, 2012. 3:11 PM
only if you want to become a "chicken in a biscuit".
caitlinsdad in reply to GoodhartMar 11, 2012. 4:45 PM
hardtack would break a beak
Goodhart in reply to caitlinsdadMar 12, 2012. 9:27 AM
ThAT'S what the egg tooth is for !
Lithium Rain in reply to GoodhartMar 13, 2012. 6:26 PM
That joke is like a "toof" er one!
Goodhart in reply to Lithium RainMar 13, 2012. 7:20 PM
A toof or a hoof, either way, I'm getting the shell out of this one....
bajablue (author) in reply to GoodhartMar 14, 2012. 11:07 AM
I shell join you... but where shell weggo?
Goodhart in reply to bajablueMar 14, 2012. 6:03 PM

bajablue (author) in reply to GoodhartMar 14, 2012. 7:21 PM
Quit waffling! I asked where weggo... no need for ruffled feathers.
caitlinsdad in reply to bajablueMar 14, 2012. 7:59 PM
Sheeesh, It's like walking on eggshells around here...
bajablue (author) in reply to caitlinsdadMar 14, 2012. 8:36 PM
yep... too many eggomaniacs with fowl tempers.
caitlinsdad in reply to bajablueMar 14, 2012. 9:18 PM
omelet this one go, no need to whip more hot air into the souffle.
Goodhart in reply to caitlinsdadMar 14, 2012. 11:05 PM
Ha ha, I got that yolk. But I am afraid I willl have to yellow flag it. Unless you are making green eggs and ham?
caitlinsdad in reply to GoodhartMar 15, 2012. 4:59 AM
Careful, this might hard boil and the comments will spill over onto the edge.
Goodhart in reply to caitlinsdadMar 15, 2012. 10:45 PM
that could crack someone who's overly hard boiled.
caitlinsdad in reply to GoodhartMar 16, 2012. 4:41 AM
two minute warning, it's at that stage.
bajablue (author) in reply to caitlinsdadMar 16, 2012. 9:46 AM
What happens when the 2 minutes eggspire? An eggsplosion?
caitlinsdad in reply to bajablueMar 16, 2012. 9:55 AM
A sigh of eggasperation. You're cooked.
bajablue (author) in reply to caitlinsdadMar 16, 2012. 10:04 AM
I got too much sun yesterday... so I egree... my brain might be a little fried.
caitlinsdad in reply to bajablueMar 16, 2012. 11:40 AM
Sunnyside up? Be happy, dance the meringue.
bajablue (author) in reply to caitlinsdadMar 16, 2012. 12:05 PM
Hahahahahahaha!!!!! BEST ONE YET! ;-D

Goodhart in reply to bajablueMar 16, 2012. 3:29 PM
Oh sure, bring Pi into the mix after the holiday is over.....
caitlinsdad in reply to GoodhartMar 16, 2012. 3:26 PM
I do mince my puns, in this case egg salad.
Goodhart in reply to caitlinsdadMar 16, 2012. 4:04 PM
Hmm, have you ever listened to EL&P: Brain Salad Surgery? That would make you an Egg head then, right ;-)
bajablue (author) in reply to GoodhartMar 16, 2012. 4:15 PM
I'm too young to know what an Emerson, Lake and Palmer is. Can you eggsplain it to me?
Goodhart in reply to bajablueMar 16, 2012. 8:28 PM
Kids LOL or in this case chick? (forgive me the one reference...only punning with the chickens and no offense intended).
bajablue (author) in reply to GoodhartMar 17, 2012. 4:50 PM
You pecked the right word, Goodhart. I didn't go off half-cocked.
Goodhart in reply to bajablueMar 17, 2012. 5:57 PM
...nor half henned :-D
bajablue (author) in reply to GoodhartMar 17, 2012. 6:18 PM
.. nor spatchcocked! ;-O)
caitlinsdad in reply to GoodhartMar 16, 2012. 8:57 PM
No offence, everyone flew the coop.
Goodhart in reply to caitlinsdadMar 17, 2012. 7:03 AM
the coop or the co-op? ;-)
caitlinsdad in reply to GoodhartMar 17, 2012. 1:10 PM
Opt out if you are a bird of a different feather.
Goodhart in reply to caitlinsdadMar 17, 2012. 1:32 PM
I'm no chicken little (nor a little chicken either :-D )
caitlinsdad in reply to GoodhartMar 17, 2012. 1:36 PM
I wouldn't call you a turkey, but "gobble, gobble."
Goodhart in reply to caitlinsdadMar 17, 2012. 5:49 PM
I only gobble when there is too much food available. Lately the feed bucket has slim pickens in it (and for some reason I though he was no longer with us).
bajablue (author) in reply to caitlinsdadMar 17, 2012. 4:54 PM
Quit pecking on Goodhart, you Turkey Vulture, you.
Goodhart in reply to bajablueMar 17, 2012. 5:48 PM
Ooo a 2-fer >:-D we'll see who's the bird brain around here ;-)
bajablue (author) in reply to GoodhartMar 17, 2012. 5:50 PM
Do you suppose Caitlinsdad will keep abreast of the storyline? ;-D
caitlinsdad in reply to bajablueMar 17, 2012. 6:05 PM
This looks like the tail end of the formation, can't fly backwards like a hummingbird and turn back the tale.
bajablue (author) in reply to caitlinsdadMar 17, 2012. 6:21 PM
♪Happy tails... to you... ♫
caitlinsdad in reply to bajablueMar 17, 2012. 6:35 PM
Alas, the comments have been squeezed into a cage. Till the next round robin topic...
caitlinsdad in reply to bajablueMar 16, 2012. 4:18 PM
They use to spin on vinyl platters. Not unlike an egg that can stand on its end at a certain point in Ecuador.
bajablue (author) in reply to caitlinsdadMar 16, 2012. 4:27 PM
Spin on vinyl platters? Like a disco duck doing the funky chicken?
caitlinsdad in reply to bajablueMar 16, 2012. 4:59 PM
Mix it any way you want. That's one apoach to it.
bajablue (author) in reply to GoodhartMar 12, 2012. 8:23 PM
Touche... with an apostrophe! ;-D
Lithium Rain in reply to caitlinsdadMar 10, 2012. 9:38 PM
These puns are most fowl...
caitlinsdad in reply to Lithium RainMar 10, 2012. 9:59 PM
< slaps with rubber chicken >
Goodhart in reply to caitlinsdadMar 11, 2012. 1:20 PM
Do they lay prophylactic eggs then ?
caitlinsdad in reply to GoodhartMar 11, 2012. 1:36 PM
No, but I believe their chicks might bounce. Can't bank on it.
Lithium Rain in reply to caitlinsdadMar 11, 2012. 4:50 PM
Banker? I hardly know 'er!
caitlinsdad in reply to Lithium RainMar 11, 2012. 4:58 PM
Lithium Rain in reply to caitlinsdadMar 11, 2012. 6:18 PM
No need to be all aflutter.
caitlinsdad in reply to Lithium RainMar 11, 2012. 6:27 PM
Imma twitter
Lithium Rain in reply to caitlinsdadMar 11, 2012. 7:05 PM
I don't want to hear another tweet out of you!
Goodhart in reply to Lithium RainMar 12, 2012. 9:26 AM
peep ! ;-)
bajablue (author) in reply to Lithium RainMar 11, 2012. 8:47 PM

Goodhart in reply to bajablueMar 17, 2012. 6:56 PM
FYI: I don't tweet....never liked twitter ;-)
bajablue (author) in reply to GoodhartMar 17, 2012. 7:58 PM
hmmm... but you do peep... which, coming from a male Turkey... would make you a.................................

PEEPING TOM! ;-D
Goodhart in reply to caitlinsdadMar 11, 2012. 3:12 PM
I suppose they use rubber chicken buggy bumpers, too.
caitlinsdad in reply to GoodhartMar 11, 2012. 4:45 PM
dumplings are soft too.
Goodhart in reply to caitlinsdadMar 12, 2012. 9:28 AM
Yeah, not so good for "bumping" into things though.
mikeasaurus says: Mar 9, 2012. 11:34 AM
I've looked through the contest and can't see a record of it entered. Have you unpublished it after it was entered?

Also, another place to confirm if it was added was through your PM history. We send out automated responses when an entry in received and when it's added to a contest.
bajablue (author) in reply to mikeasaurusMar 9, 2012. 3:41 PM
I get an email when a contest entry is submitted and when it's accepted, but not a PM in my inbox. I do get a PM (inbox) when the winners are announced, though.

lol... I found the saved (to lazy to delete) the confirmation email! Hard to believe that I just joined Instructables less than a year ago.

Here's the copied/pasted email and a hinky "real" screenshot. ;-D

This is a weird one. I've tried what I can but it looks like we need to dig a lot deeper to get this one rectified. I've filed a bug report regarding this.
bajablue (author) in reply to mikeasaurusMar 13, 2012. 6:19 PM
It's ok, Mike... really... we don't mind seeing you with a little egg on your face. ;-D
caitlinsdad in reply to bajablueMar 13, 2012. 8:33 PM
Gee, I hope mikey isn't in the dumpty, all the king's horses and all the king's robots couldn't put this one back together.
mikeasaurus in reply to caitlinsdadMar 13, 2012. 10:43 PM
I fell off the wall ages ago, you've only noticed now?!
