Updates to User Files (i.e. My files) is not persisting

[609_Relentov]

I made some updates to one of my kneeboards, and then clicked Update;  when I go back to view the page, the old version text still shows (including the old zip file) without any updates saved.  I tried this multiple times, no success.

Tried again today, still not saving to web site, even though when I click the Update button, it's displaying "File uploaded".

Is anyone else able to save their User Files successfully?

I updated one of my files on Sunday 18th, with no issue:

… have you tried a different browser, looks like a cookies issue

[609_Relentov]

Thanks Rudel, strange, I deleted cookies on Edge, and tried again, still doesn't work.  I then download/installed Chrome, logged in and tried on that browser, same result after clicking Update... this is really odd.

please let us know which file, we can take a look, even delete the old one if necessary

@BIGNEWY thanks, it’s the AJS37 kneeboards, user file 3319591.  It seems to be happening with other files as well; also sent you a forum message

I'm having the same problem. I managed to Delete some stuff, but not Edit. I get the green "File Uploaded" message, but nothing changes. Tried on Chrome and Edge.

@BIGNEWY, yeah, same with mine.  I uploaded updates to the below files today and nothing appears.

@BIGNEWYI think I've figured it out.   The new update page now has a field for the MAP.  Leaving it blank (I didn't know it was there) meant an unsuccessful upload.

Yep, I think you hit the nail on the head @Sedlo, much appreciated.  Apparently by default the first time you edit one of your User Files (since this Map field was added), that drop down has "not set", and if you don't select something (e.g. All maps), it won't save your changes.  I just did another update on another kneeboard of mine after setting that field properly, and the changes stuck.  Not sure if this was posted somewhere (apologies if it was), but it would have been nice if us users got a warning about ensuring this new field has a proper selection before clicking Update ...

Still doesn't explain why another of my User Files (kneeboard - https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3318837/ ) was removed  .
