Ok a while ago (more than a week) I submit a "How to make an iPod from scratch" tutorial for the photoshop section. I have been searching for it in tuturials for a while, and nothing shows up.

I did the source search, found my site and there was a green check next to it. I clicked "View all tutorials" and this came up:

"Source site does not exist or is inactive. Please use the Source Site Search to check if it is inactive or not."

What's going on?

P.S. This is my first post here, and I'm asking for help :P

Its probably still in the queue, 1 week is nothing to panic about.

Alright sorry this was in the wrong forum, I'll look around better next time.

And to the one who brought up the FAQ, it doesn't cover my problem unfortunately.

When I do the source search for http://www.sqthreer.com that comes up. And when it comes up there is a green box with a check in it next to my site indicating "that this source site is active and that any tutorials listed under this source site are listed and live in our index."

So like the FAQ says, I clicked [ View all tutorials ], and it says:

"Source site does not exist or is inactive. Please use the Source Site Search to check if it is inactive or not."

In large, bolded red letters.

Summary:

I search for my site with the Source Search
It says it's active.
I check to see my tutorials with the link it provides.
It tells me it is inactive and to check the Source Search to find it.

I'm just a little confused.

The one who brought up the FAQ is Donna :P

Your answer is in FAQ's

Since you cannot find it I found it for you

http://www.pixel2lif...?showtopic=1095
Tutorial submissions are typically processed Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights from 9PM to 2AM and it up to 7 days for your site submission to be processed, depending on the queue.

If your source site is there then Faken has not yet approved your tutorial, so you need to be patient, I also had a look and I see it sitting in the queue so please be patient, its there it just needs approval
Once your tutorial is approved it will show under your source site.

Oh ok thanks very much!

I must have misinterpreted "processed" or something. Well Jay said it was a bug but that's cool.

Sorry if I sounded urgent or angry or anything, I wasn't, just confused.

Also it seems that it's been renamed as a MASSIVE tutorial. I don't mind it or anything, just wondering what that meant.
