Articles Base updated

    so yeah, I could have posted this elsewhere, but tons of people in the Clickbank section use AB...

    http://www.ArticlesBase.com was updated overnight. I like the new design, but I'm getting errors when I try to post a new article. Anyone else having issues?

    Hopefully the new design helps (or at least doesn't hurt) AB's rankings in Google.

    Yeah, I'm getting an error also when trying to post an article. It sucks too because I was amped up and motivated today to get a lot of work done! :D

    I also hope too that the new design doesn't hurt rankings since articles on AB rank VERY well!

    You wonder if the admin team at AB doesn't realize there is an error when submitting...because it doesn't seem like a big deal (some PHP issue with a Twitter script) but nothing has changed for hours.

    As you said, it's annoying because I'm ready to get some work done...

    Right now my articles aren't even submitted...due to this error. Maybe they raised the number of published articles required before you get auto-acceptance?

    How many live articles do you have in your account?

    I like the design, the only problem I have is now I have to log in every time I close and reopen my browser info, they probably made some changes to the cookies. :)

    What problem, after the site was redesigned i posted about 6 articles, of course this was 10 hours ago, so something might have come up later also
    The plus with the new design is that the interface looks much better and clutter free
    However, the articles are no more auto approved, it is going into review, that is bad :(

    That would be a rather large problem, but I'll wait until things are working properly because that might be a symptom of some of the other issues with the site...right now I'm still getting error messages...

    I just tried to register so I could start submitting articles. The email I received was as follows without actually containing a live link.

    "Dear {screen_name},

    Thank you for registering as an ArticlesBase author!

    In order to start submitting articles you must first activate your account
    by visiting the following URL: {activation_link}

    Kind regards,

    ArticlesBase Support
    {site_url}
    {support_email}"

    I sent an email using the contact form. I hope that is working.

    Yup, although they have definitely increased the number of approved articles you need before the auto-approval occurs.

    Unfortunately, Google doesn't seem to be indexing as fast. Usually my articles would be indexed within 10 minutes, but now that isn't happening. Again - I'll give it some more time before I freak out, because things are probably still in flux from all the changes.

    I'm going to be a straight up ass hole right now... only because you are alot of the times too.. so i figured screw it why not...

    YES you could have posted this elsewhere... also if tons of people in clickbank section use AB then that means tons of people probably noticed the same thing... meaning everyone probably already knew about this.. no need to post this worthless thread ;)

    and no the design will not affect the rankings... the structure has remained the same..

    :rolleyes:

    You need to practice being a better asshole.

    This is a DISCUSSION forum. Where things are DISCUSSED. ArticlesBase is pretty important to a lot of members of this forum, specifically Clickbank affiliates.

    And yeah, the design might very well affect rankings, since the website is down again (and seems to go down again every hour).

    This really sucks, Articlebase is the main directory I use. I have about 30 articles waiting to submit.
