When I'm trying to save my new art, after a while the error message popups: "There was a problem saving your picture. Please check your internet connection and try again in one minute.". I checked my internet connection and tried one after another minutes - error appears every time :-(
I read in one topic by Alicia Thompson (January 21st), that there is a bug that appears "when complex pictures are created without intermediate saving". Seems like this is the same situation as mine.
Is there any chance the image can be saved? I will leave the FF window opened and wait for answer :-) |

Hi,
We've just fixed a bug with the software within the last hour that might have fixed it - but the problem is that the software will have to reload to test it out. I'll try and find out if there is anything that can be done to save the image as it is... |

| It should be fine now - there was a reference in the saving script to a deleted db field, but not any more. |

| Nope - I can't save this image. It looks that I have to do a new one. I saved my work with PrintScreen and making process with HyperCam, so nothing is lost :-) |

| OK. Try clearing your cache so that the new drawing software is completely reloaded when you have another go. |

Ok. I have another problem. When I was finishing my picture (I saved few times during work) a messagebox popuped asking me if I want to save or not. It was something about that I made too much work and I must save to continue. Ok, I clicked "save". Then after a while the same message, but when i clicked there was the same problem as in my first post ^. I clicked "undo" few times to come back to work-progress when the save worked and i saved the image. I closed the image editor and checked my gallery profile for this image I did. I was shocked - it saved only half of my work - the second half :-o So my image is without the details that i did on the beggining :-(
This new million masterpiece software seems to dislike me :-/
Here is the image: http://www.millionmasterpiece.com/gallery-543130?pic=25413
I started with sketch made with the smallest brush. Then i made details using this and next bigger brush. Here as You can see the replay starts with big blury shading that i did at the end of work.

The drawing software does some rather intricate processing whenever you reach a threshold of about 3000 brushstrokes, in order to ensure that the performance of the flash client is maintained. It involves communication between the user's machine and the server. My advice for now would be not to undo back accross this brushstorke threshold. I'll need to test and investigate the app.
If anyone else experiences a similar problem, please let me know.

| I'm also having saving issues. I redid my image today, saved it, and then came back later to redo it. The second version of the day saved, and when I went back to it later... both the first and second image had merged into one strange image. So I axed the thing again and tried for a third time. It won't save. |

AAAIIIIYEEE!!! noooo! I was drawing a whole new picture, first I drew the basic shapes and worked on from there. About halfway through I hit the "save" button and it saved my picture, So i decided to continue from that point by fine tuning the picture. When I saved it again, and then went to look at it, I was surprised to see that it replaced the original picture with one that only contained my most recent modifications. So in other words, most of the picture is gone, and only the fine tunings are left. Its my second picture if anyone wants to look at, but it looks like crap. I hope that it can be fixed, but I'm prolly going to have to work with what I have and redo the image.
Anyways, it seems like the problem is with the save feature, it expects the user to navigate away from the page after saving, rather, if they stay on the page, it will save over the image. |

My gallery image seems not to have saved my latest changes also 
If the work is retrieveable then I will wait, but if not then I will re-do the work asap.
If you guys know the answer then let me know.
Thanks.
Pip. |

I know that Eamonn is looking in to this right now. Sorry for the bugs guys - this tool is so complex and is easily the most advanced online drawing tool out there so please bear with us!

Hi Pip - your image should be fine now. Sorry about that - it was nothing serious, one of our server daemons got a bit stuck. We have another daemon which rescues this one every time it gets stuck, which I'd temporarily switched off - it should be fine now though.
I made some minor modifications to the saving script yesterday and to the paint tool. A thorough test showed no problems so fingers crossed... Anyway I shall keep a close eye on it. Thanks to everyone for helping me spot these problems!

Yep yep. Everything seems just fine now.
Thanks for sorting this out. I'm sure I'm not the only one that's grateful to you for being on top of things and zapping those bugs.

| i've been having problems saving my pics, when i press save a box pops up and says something like it couldnt save it because it was still processing my last save and to try again later. My last save was HOURS ago and i let it sit for 2-3 hours and came back and tryed to save it again and it still said the same thing. |

| Sorry about that Michelle, one of the image processors got stuck again. I've restarted it manually so everything should be fine now, but I will of course look into why this happened and find a fix. |

| Ok, forget it. For some reason it has updated itself. Took 3 days though. Not sure what is going on there. May post again if it goes funny again. |

| Hi sorry for the late reply.... It should be okay now... There were some isssues with the image update software on the server dying periodically, but now it should be indestructable. If it happens again, however, do let me know! |
