Okies... I've got a[nother] problem.

About 24 hours ago, I tried to submit a wallpaper in two different versions [1600 x 1200 and the standard widescreen resolution, I think it was 1440 x 900 or something, can't remember -- but I took it straight from the FAQ, so I couldn't have been wrong about that]. What happened is that I got a message saying, "None of the images you submitted have the necessary resolution" or something of the sort. Oookay, so then I waited to see if by some miracle the image was still uploaded and my wallpaper had made it to the approval queue. After nothing showed up, I tried submitting it again; this time, it was uploaded with no problems.

And then, I just got a message saying, "Submission Rejection Notification: Wallpaper submitted three times". Uh... 'scuse me? The first time, I got a message saying that the images weren't approved, and when nothing else showed up I assumed that the submission had been a failure [no idea why]. The second time it worked OK. So why did I get this message in the end? [and triple, on top of that].

I dunno... sometimes either people have problems with their Internet connection or AP has bugs [...or both]. I think this kind of situations can't be helped, and it'd be best if you guys just approved one submission and deleted the extras? Just a suggestion from a frustrated user.

Rejection notices stating "Uploading error" and "Duplicate submission" are sent when a wallpaper is submitted for approval several times in quick succession. They are generally the result of instability in the submitting user's connection, the user refreshing the page after submission or the user manually submitting the item in duplicate believing the first upload had failed.

We have a single means of removing an image from the approval queue; rejection. As all rejections are accompanied by a rejection notice, notices are sent for each image removed from the queue. Hence if for whatever reason you submit the same item in triplicate for example, you'll tend to get one rejected (assuming criteria isn't met) with a message stating the reasons behind this rejection and two further rejections stating the image was an uploading error or duplicate submission.

To avoid this simply do not upload the image more than once, do not refresh the page and be sure of your connections stability during upload.

Thanks for the reply. Certainly, the second time I submitted the image I got a blank screen after the upload was complete and I hit "refresh". I'll know not to do that from now on.
