Queue - New patterns aren't being approved

I uploaded three new patterns (free books) about 2 hours ago, but unfortunately they haven’t been approved yet. I was planning to publish them with my girls at 8.

When can I expect them to be available?

Hello tazysblog,
Welcome to Crazypatterns. Please keep in mind that today is Sunday and that support is not constantly at the computer on weekends / Sundays. Please be a little more patient. Good luck here on Crazypatterns.

Thank you very much for the quick response.

Yes, that’s right—I had asked beforehand whether they would be approved on Sunday as well. And I received very positive feedback, so I was really hoping that would be the case.

It’ll work out :)

Please be patient... they’ll definitely be approved by tomorrow morning.

Hmm, I guess so. It’s really a shame—all my blog and Facebook posts are just waiting for me to hit the “Post” button :( 

Well, this isn’t Facebook, after all. The moderatoren here do a lot. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the moderator team and all the hard-working helpers. You really can’t expect people to work 24 hours on a Sunday.

No, I’m not asking for that—I just heard that it’s not a problem on Sundays either, so I’ve got everything ready for Sunday. And yes, huge respect for the fact that mods are on duty here even on Sundays. You guys are doing a great job.

Yeah, I’ve also been waiting since Friday evening for my pattern to be approved. I’ve decided to wait until Monday morning before contacting support, but sometimes you do make a mistake when uploading...

If you’ve been waiting since Friday, something must be wrong. In the meantime, many
patterns have already been approved. I’d suggest contacting support.

You can check in your pattern manager to see whether an invalid file format might have slipped in during the upload.
That has happened to me before, too. Instead of a zip, I uploaded a regular PDF...

Yes, 129 patterns from the same person.*

Good morning everyone,
I wish you all a lovely week.
If anyone is having problems with uploading or approval, please contact support:

Thanks for the praise for the CP team.

@Wollness-Oase: 
Thanks for the tips! It really was my mistake—I had saved the pattern as a draft.

Well, based on experience, patterns are usually approved within 24 hours—though on weekends and holidays it can sometimes take longer, since the moderators also have weekends off or personal commitments. Generally speaking, some patterns are approved on Sundays and Saturdays as well, but you really can’t expect a 24-hour service then.

During the week, approvals usually happen in the morning and afternoon, and occasionally in the evening.
