IMDB review contribution link defective / loops

Hi ArdenDean & All -

I'm following up here to confirm that the looping issue should now be resolved.  Thanks again for all your reports!

Can you find it on this report?

https://contribute.imdb.com/contributions/history

I never found this Beta screen.  Yes, it shows that I have a contribution of some sort to Ozark that was "Approved".  Though if I click on Details, I just get into the Needham welcome screen loop.

If in IMDb I go to my Account Settings | View Contributions / Update History it says "No previous updates found".  If on that screen I "Load" reference #220724-200935-581804 I go to a Conditions of Use screen where I checkmark the box but the "Continue" button does nothing.

So having the link you provided is useful, thanks, but I still think the mechanics are a little broken.  Maybe they're just being worked on... but I was surprised to see no other reports of it here on the forum.

I have uploaded various production images / posters for a TV series all similar in content and style. As only some are showing up I have used track contribution from the IMDB confirmation email to check status. After the welcome page from Col Needham, when I click the Go To Your Contribution button, the page just refreshes back to Col Needham.

I have no way of finding out if the images I am uploading are being blocked and if so why as I can''t track them. Text data submissions are being accepted (but slowly) .

I have over 60 episodes of a series to enter and this image issue is causing problems as I can't have proper primary images for the series thumbnail and episode thumbnails.

Images I am uploading are promo art used for the shows and hi-resolution screen grabs from the episodes, all that I own copyright for.

Hi ArdenDean -

I can confirm that your User Review for "Ozark" was approved and is now live on the site.

Regarding the issue at hand, User review Contributions can only be shown and tracked within the Beta Contribution Page, they will not be shown in the regular Contribution page.

Concerning the issue you reported when clicking on the yellow "Go to your contributions" button, unfortunately, I was unable to replicate the looping you experienced.  If you are still encountering this looping, can you try clearing your site cookies and trying again?  If the problem continues can you test in a different browser and let us know if the issue continues?

I still have this problem with the "Your Contribution History (Beta) page:  Everything seems fine on this page i.e. the Ozark thumbnail appears, as does the date, confirmation number #220724-200935-581804, and the Approved checkmark.

However, at the lower left is a link for "Your Contribution Details".  The link contents are "https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/220724-200935-581804".  This link does not take me to my contribution but to the  Needham "Welcome" screen at:  

https://contribute.imdb.com/welcome?returnTo=/contribution/220724-200935-581804

And the yellow button on that Welcome screen "Go To Your Contribution" has the same link contents: 

"https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/220724-200935-581804"

so it just returns to this same Welcome page.

Overall for me:  the link "Your Contribution Details" on the beta page leads to the old system, which no longer works.

I have tried this on two different computers (though on the same home LAN) in Chrome, MS Edge, and a new installation of Firefox.  Cleared cache and cookies.

I'd be amazed that others can't replicate it, except for that being typical of my computer issues.

I am unable to view the status of a contribution. When I follow the email link from IMDB I get a welcome page from Hal Needham. There is a "Go To Your Contribution" link at the bottom of the page. When you click this link the Welcome page just refreshes and so stuck in a loop.

I have tried this on a Mac using Safari, Chrome and FireFox (latest Mac OS) while signed into IMDB on all three. Have logged in with an iPhone (Latest IOS) again logged in as me, same issue. Have also tried on a ChromeBook and an Android tablet (Latest Chrome OS and Android OS) with the same issue.  I have also changed network from my cable ISP to 4G, same issue.

Any ideas as I can't see the status of any contributions. 

Per my original report above, on 24 July I posted a review of the TV series "Ozark".  I got an email receipt showing Contribution Confirmation: #220724-200935-581804

Later, then and today, after I login to IMDb...

CASE 1:  If I go to
https://contribute.imdb.com/updates/history
it takes me to the IMDb Contributor / Update History / Load Previous Update screen.  That has a banner "Do you want to help IMDb...".  Beneath that is small black text saying "No previous update found".  There is a "Reference" box in which I can enter my contribution #220724-200935-581804. When I do so, and press Continue, it goes to a minimal screen with an unlabeled checkbox, a Conditions of Use reminder, and another Continue button.  When I click the latter, the screen just returns to itself ie. nothing happens.

CASE 2:  If I go to

https://contribute.imdb.com/contributions/history
it takes me to the "Your Contribution History (Beta)" screen which confirms that my Contribution #220724-200935-581804 exists and was approved.  HOWEVER the green "View Contributions Details" link at the lower left takes me to
https://contribute.imdb.com/welcome?returnTo=/contribution/220724-200935-581804
which is the Col Needham Welcome screen.  The only control there is a yellow button at lower left labeled "Go To Your Contributions".  The link associated with that button is
https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/220724-200935-581804
but if I click the button it simply returns to this Welcome screen ie. nothing happens.

This is the same problem that SimonA is reporting.

Hi @ArdenDean & @SimonA -

Thanks for posting all the relevant information regarding the steps you are taking.  I have filed a ticket for our tech team to investigate, as soon as I have an update I will relay the information here.

Cheers!

I contributed a (quite literal) answer to the question "Why was Jillian Guiler the only one to be afraid of the aliens?" at 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)' (Contribution #220801-134934-628604).  I received an email from IMDB.  In it is a link 'View the status of your contribution'.  I click it and am sent to a web page featuring the lovely and talented Col Needham.  Upon that page is a link 'Go To Your Contribution'.  Clicking that only leads me back to the web page featuring the lovely and talented Col Needham.  Is this a bug?  Or do all roads in fact lead... to the lovely and talented Col Needham?

It works properly for me now.  Thanks.
