i can make them fine. The two places I have problems are that when you save them, they don't immediately show in preview.

number two is that corrections ar adjustments don't show up immediately. either.

i seem to need to go between edit and the cover image area, back and forth. Occasionally, it takes ten to fifteen tries before I'm sure it's caught. Can I just do it and assume that it will come out right? So far, i have to see the correct image in the preview before i assume it works. JIM

I would also like to add a query about covers, in that I added one some time ago (for revision?) and my story disappeared from my profile. I want it back…

Hiya, you story is in your drafts. You will need to submit it again for reverification, thanks.

Thank you for that…is that specified when adding a cover? Maybe I didn’t read the pop ups if there were any…

I'd kind like to know if there is an ETA on a fix the current cover image issue.

I can create them all day and haven't seen a one show up in two days.

I am a cybergeek, so I decided to dress the part.

How can I edit or change a cover image

How can I edit or change a cover image

Visit your story, scroll down and hit Edit. You can then click the cover pic to upload or select a new one. If it's been designed in the on-site designer it should load it up and be editable, but sometimes if there's a lot of site traffic it struggles for some reason.

Bear in mind if you change the pic, it removes your story from the site and puts it back in your Stories > Drafts area so you'll need to Preview it and resubmit to the moderators. Please put a quick message in the Moderator Notes box to say you just changed the cover and we should be able to get it back on the site fairly quickly.

We used to be able to choose a picture from our media gallery, it seems that this is no longer an option ?

I think it pulls from your Cover Images folder.

From your profile > Stories panel, click the Covers subtab.

Thank you -- I hadn't noticed that.
So the only way to add to it is to use the Lush design thing or do an upload from the story edit page.

I think so. I've not found any other way.

I find that cover maker nie impossible to deal with, so I make my own elsewhere. Honestly, I don't like going through the effort for something free.
