Lost editable areas

[hnoluissc]

Hi, In Colombia I have the same problem... or similar.

I can see the drives I have done from Bogotá to La Dorada one month ago and 10 days ago, but still it is a non editable area for me...

I sent a tweet but it seems I wasn't clear (140 aren't enough?)...

Still waiting to this weekend for the INTL editor to update, and maybe it could fix it.

Disappointing that the issue was reported on Nov 6th ( viewtopic.php?p=283377#p283377 ) and 12 days later there is still no resolution or meaningful update.

And it's been 3 days since I posted the update that the developers have recognized the problem and are working to find a solution...2 days of which have been a weekend. This isn't the only problem that they're working on.

Why take it so personally Jason? I'm not sure why you would say it's been 3 days and just 1 working day. See all the below history:

On Nov 8th (10 days ago) at viewtopic.php?f=10&t=31184&start=60#p285149 you posted "Support had been contacted directly about this and they're looking into it, as of this morning."

On Nov 11th (7 days ago) you again posted asking for more info the developers asked you, though I think if they glanced at the thread they would have found references to dates of missing drives that were still listed but not showing as editable.

Now 3 days ago you posted viewtopic.php?f=10&t=31184&start=120#p291782 which indicates they were telling you "OK, it seems that this is a problem in processing some new drives. There's a status update on the Status-Page and we're working on a fix.". Some of my editable areas for drives were newer (within a few days of when the problem started) and some weren't. Sure, it could have been the way it was phrased or they could be working on an issue they found that is different from the problems reported in this thread that I started.

Anyway as a professional developer I understand there are often multiple problems to deal with but also being responsible for teams of developers and revenue associated with what is released, I'm extremely aware of prioritization. Maybe this isn't the worst or most impactful issue they have but from my end it's the only one I'm having. If the team is the same one working on the front-end client, maybe they are focused on that and what I consider a poor decision to release the new client in the state it was in. I'm glad I followed all the beta posts and decided against upgrading my Android app for the time being.

Does anyone know the status of this bug? It's still happening--I took a drive today and the entire drive is posted, but part of it is still uneditable. And the prior one I had still hasn't been fixed.

A drive that I took on Sunday outside my editing area shows up, and it did extend my area.

No report yet that it's been fixed. Guess they're still working on it.

A drive you took today will not likely expand your area immediately. The processing and posting of the drive is, if I am not mistaken, a separate process which happens prior to the granting of additional area. I could be wrong about this, but I would say it could still take a day or two to see your expanded area.

14 pages of people saying they cant edit areas as of Oct 2

EDIT BY MOD to help with understanding the status:

Complaints are coming in from both servers, all over the world.

This was called directly to the attention of the developers yesterday morning, and they have acknowledged the problem and are investigating the possible causes.

OK,,,,


20 days later,

WHATS GOING ON?
Find the bug yet?
When will it be fixed?

How about some kind of official word from Waze?

Well, that wasn't 20 days ago...it was two months ago. This was two threads merged together, and in hindsight, that may have been a bad idea. I did it because there were recent posts about this same problem in both threads, but that other thread dated back to the beginning of October and was about an unrelated problem.

This was brought to the attention of support on November 13. That's 9 days, which may also seem to be too long, but it's not as simple as flipping a switch and turning the editable areas back on. It's not happening to everyone and they have to figure out why it's happening.
