Is the AAVSOnet Proposal Form malfunctioning?

Is anyone else having problems with errors on the AAVSOnet Proposal Form? I get the same set of error messages regardless of using a Mozilla based or Chromium based browser (I am logged in to the AAVSO website in both browsers), and even tried two different ISPs. I get the following messages:

  • there are problems
  • and maybe more problems

If I try to submit despite the errors, it looks like a submission was successful, except that no submission actually shows up in the submissions list.

Kristopher, 

Sorry for the confusion.  We are looking into those error messages.

However, we believe your proposal requests are getting through.  You can verify this by looking at AAVSO -- AAVSOnet Proposals.  See 415,6 and 7.

 

best regards,

I submitted a project proposal about half an hour ago. There is no sign that it got through and the error messages are still appearing.

Changes coming to Proposal Page

Cliff can see your proposals because he is AAVSOnet staff.

General users cannot see "new" proposals.

I'm going to change that so general users can see their own "new" proposals.

That will help reassure that things are getting in. That plus improved messaging on the proposal page.

If you see a green "Your proposal has been submitted" then it is good to go. It will appear on the Proposals list after the committee reviews the proposal.
