Please slow down and explain the problem to an 8 year old near you. when done, share a bit more detail other than "the car wont start".

A few of us are mind readers, and are up for a challenge. Trust me you so not want community members attempting to make a Vulkan mind meld with you over this distance, it leads to even more madness in most cases.

The problem is clearly stated in the first sentence. Administrators and moderators perfectly understand what I'm talking about. The content check has been hanging for a day. And the guide is hidden.
"This item is awaiting analysis by our automated content check system. It will be temporarily hidden until we verify that it does not contain harmful content (e.g. links to websites that attempt to steal information)."

You can contact support and ask them. Waiting for a global moderator to happen upon the thread and check it for you might not be quicker.

Well, I understand it. The last time I was helped quickly here. They reset this check manually. Through the global tech. support I think it would be much longer. If she's dealing with community feature issues at all. Not sure about this.

Did you add links inside the guide?

No. I am editing text. Sometimes 10 times a day. And sometimes this check hangs. And until it is removed manually by the moderator, it will remain so. I had it hanging for a week last time until I wrote here and it was removed. I have several manuals and I edit them regularly. This check takes a few seconds, but sometimes it hangs. This is very infuriating. It doesn't matter what I change. Even if I change one letter. However, the bug may appear.

So your guide gets unpublished when that happens, maybe it is too big, or the number of changes may be the problem. Due to the weird way Steam moderates external sites, going fully automated would have been an option, but is not great. So when you say happened again, it happens often, I would personally look at going external hosted.

Yes, I have a very large guide. And this is the second time this has happened to me. But I have seen other users have the same problem. Some kind of failure just happens, the check stops and does not resume. Or some other problem. You just start to be afraid to make changes. Then you have to write again and wait for a decision. And it's very bad when a lot of people use the guide and now they can't.

External host is expensive too, asside fro mthe steam disconnect it creates. It feels like you need a "group", and a thread. I have no idea what the game or the guide does though, sux that you have to try make edits only when you know someone can come and fix the back-end system for you.

Update, your guide is up. Holy frick that is long!

Oh thanks for writing) In fact, it happens instantly. But there are rare problems)

Effing awesome most huge guide I ever seen.
1. Questions about writing that guide, how on earth did you learn those skills, or did you figure it all out solo?
2. Also how did you get the guide headings to all have emoticons in the actual heading style and right justified?
I think the issue, is the guide is actually multiple things, so it's a tad too big overall. I remember working on a project where the docs guy had a doc so big MS word would regularly crash, so he had to cut it up into blocks of a few chapters each.

I did it myself. By standard means;) It took a long time, but everything is possible. If you really want to)

It is possible, you are very patient. I was planning a large data dump guide and wanted to program the bbcodes so making tables would be easier, but I got bored. and the many many graphics i needed to add also were taking too long to add in. i need to try again this long weekend coming up.

How did you get the headings to line up the emoticons like that?

The problem is relevant. 3 days have already passed. Even tech support shrugs. I'm shocked.
