Getting Saving Error for every change I try to make

Post by
Hello - I'm new to Map Editing, so maybe this is a stupid question....but is something wrong? Every time I try to make an edit to the map (Within my editable area) I get an message that says "Saving Error", and beneath that, "An error occurred while saving. Please try again."

Am I doing something wrong?

Yes, I noticed this a few days ago, but thought there was a problem with my browsers (I have tried two). My problem now is that changes I thought I hadn't made have apparently been made, but I don't know what they were. Some of them were roads I drew for the sake of testing with the intention of immediately deleting them, but of course they didn't show up so I couldn't delete them. It was only 2 days later that I realised they had indeed been saved. Now, if only I could remember where those roads were that I had drawn...

Hi; Suffering the same problem in all my areas in the UK, yet status reports successful updates.
Saving is very slow, even for a single speed limit change or verification. Needs a Log out/in or screen refresh shows up the problem. No message about not saving.

The problem I'm seeing tonight is that saved edits do not appear after road data are reloaded.

Good to see. About 10 min after my last post the website seemed to be down for a few seconds. Then, after refreshing a few times, everything came back up.

I wonder if this has something to do with the server updates?

Have you just started driving with Waze? It takes up to 24 hours for drives to upload to the Map Editor. Once they are uploaded you can edit one mile around the drives. But if it's outside your area, you cannot make changes. However you can contact your local editors by finding them on the wiki and click the corresponding state. Go to the near bottom of the page and you can find your local editors. For example: NJ folks are here: https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/USA/Ne ... a_Managers

Oh sorry for the confusion! I would never say that to any experienced editor in Waze community. I was referring to the user who asked the original question. My apologies. :)

Since some time on Thursday there has been a global problem affecting the ROW server. Changes made in WME seem to be working but, once you refresh the browser tab, the changes have apparently disappeared. This makes many further edits impossible. The changes seem to appear after the next map update (see status.waze.com).

I have notified Waze HQ about this in the Global Champs direct-access forum. I hope they will do something about his.
