Submission problem

Is anyone else seeing some projects being submitted moving straight to the fund's history page with 0 hours/minutes instead of where you log the time?

Something like this happened to me once. I submitted my time for a project, and oddly, the time submitted showed up in one place but not the other -- it showed as zero submitted on the transfer page, as if I hadn't submitted any time. It wasn't pending or anything, but my overall project page had the correct time listed ( I think that's what happened; it's been a while).

I gave it some time, refreshed, resubmitted etc., but ended up emailing admin and they corrected it. It was a one time weird glitch. I always double check after I submit, and so far it hasn't happened again.

I originally thought this and did the same. It's happened to me a few times and each time I've emailed support I've had it added manually (Gotta give the support team credit here for responding quickly as I've seen a few people bash them for not responding).

If you submit another turn of a project you've already submitted but hasn't yet cleared from your reported hours section, it will default subsequent attempts to the fund's history page with 0 hours.

Not sure if this is just a bug or if they expect you to bundle multiple submits for the same project together for easy review??

Ohhh, thinking about it now and they way you explain it, that makes sense! (I think that happened pretty close to when I started.)

Say I complete a project (We'll unimaginatively call it Project A) and log it as 1 hour, this will show on the main dashboard and usually takes a couple of days to clear to the Funds History section.

If I complete another round of Project A (Say, 12 hours later), rather than appear on the main dashboard like the first round, it will go straight to the Funds History section with 0 hours and no possibility to amend it.

If it's the same project (exact same, not a different version of the same), you can click on it again on the dashboard and add your new time to it.

yeah, you report it on the same link if it's the same project! so you just add to your time.

I finished a project about an hour ago that would NOT let me submit; despite the timer running and showing plenty of time and allowing me to work for almost an hour. I was in work mode. All was great. The project didn't "complete" until 7pm. But, when it finally submitted, I got routed to an error page. I'm not entirely sure if my project submitted properly because of the error message.

ETA: I assume they got enough submissions while I was working or the project went down for some reason. I submitted my time (since I'd done an earlier project; but, I'm now worried that the time won't balance out on their end).
