No changes swampgirl. Your clock and our server clocks might be a little different.

ok, thanks dag

question about this, actually... is this a rolling 24 hour period? or is it by the midnight-is-a-new-day method?
if i post 3 vids just before midnight, could i then theoretically post 3 more vids a few minutes later after the clock hits midnight?

Rolling. If you have posted 3 vids within a 24-hour period, you can't post anymore. When the earliest one you posted falls outside the 24 hour period, you'll be able to post another one .. and so on.

I think you might have the 2 post 'feature'. I encounter it often. I believe if you click on Submit.. then go to preview without submitting, it counts as one of yours. Or maybe it's having two tabs open both with submit. Or something, but about half of the time I only get two submissions.

I TOO have been running into days when I have only been able to post TWO.

see, i'm able to post 4... i'm confused.

I'm confused pho3n1x, your recent posts seem to show only 3 in a 1 day period. http://www.videosift.com/user.php?login=pho3n1x&view=history

I've just checked the code for this, and all seems to be in order. If you have 3 videos either in the queue or published within a 24 hour span, you'll be prevented from submitting a 4th until the the oldest of the three falls outside that 24 hour span.

... of course I could be wrong, go ahead prove me wrong.

I tried to post a third video last night and could not. It seems to happen every other day.

I'm only mentioning this since others have said they are running into this too.

Hey dag, I present myself as "exhibit 1" -> "Whoops! - You're over your submission quota. We only allow 3 submission in a 24 hour period - so make them good ones. ;-)"

As of right now, one video is from within 24 hours (Noam Chomsky), but I have *four* more which "are 1 day + X hours"

Something doesn't compute.

dag, that specific 'round' of posting does not include the duped video i had posted of the ventriloquist round 1. if you look up that video, it falls mere minutes from the others.

it's been enough time, i'll try to post 4 more in a row to show you...

Thanks Krupo for the example, I think I have found the problem. I don't know if anyone is interested in this kind of geeky stuff, but here it is:

select count(*) as thecount from links where link_author = '$linkres->author' and link_category = '1' and (link_status = 'queued' or link_status = 'published') and link_date > DATE_SUB(curdate(),INTERVAL 1 DAY)

should have been

select count(*) as thecount from links where link_author = '$linkres->author' and link_category = '1' and (link_status = 'queued' or link_status = 'published') and link_date > DATE_SUB(now(),INTERVAL 1 DAY)

So "curdate" should have been "now" as curdate chops all time information off and assumes 00:00:00. Let me know if this fixed it.

I humbly eat my hat for saying it was all working perfectly and assuming you were all insane.

Unless you fixed it right after i tried posting again, it's still broken.

http://www.videosift.com/user.php?login=pho3n1x&view=history shows videos @ 1 day, 19+ hours

nevermind. guess i did that all a few mins before you posted. looks to be working fine now.

wait, it's still broken kinda... look at my history... 5 videos in the past 15 mins...

Seems to work now - hurray! Thanks dag!

Thanks also for sharing the coding info... it'd be nice to learn how to code again.

Does this 6 submission thing a fluke, or normal for new peps?

Hey, i answered this in one of those videos because entertainment major asked the same question.

it's a little known bug that allows you to beat our posting limits if you post everything really really quickly. It's only generally a problem when people are promoting their own stuff because they tend to link ALL of their videos. Fortunately it also singles them out as self linkers.
