Hi guys! I just have a small, annoying issue that I wonder if anyone else has had to deal with or found a solution for

What happens is that, every time I submit an article to a project but it gets accepted and either sold or put into waiting status before I have a chance to click "complete", then the request title lingers in my drop down menu on the submission form when I go to select a Writer Pool Request, along with the brackets that say (Expires on ....). This started for a request that I had on October 1st.

It's not that big of an issue but it keeps happening and slowly making my list longer and longer. Just overnight I had some articles accepted and put into waiting, so now the request has disappeared from my projects but still shows up in the drop down menu. I fear for the day that my list becomes like, a hundred titles long or something

Is this happening to anyone else and has anyone found a solution for it? Should I just be hitting "complete" while my articles are in review, before they have even been approved?

yes! it's happening with my requests as well, since mid September! It's annoying like the old emails are: it's just nice to clear the decks. I find that when my articles are approved I'm not able to click 'complete' since they get cleared off, but I hadn't realised there's probably a connection between that and the ghosts of requests on the submission form....I hope someone tells us about a button we haven't noticed that fixes it...

I'm having exactly the same problem...its getting really confusing now because some of the keywords in the list are so similar! Let us know if you find a solution

Yeah it took me a while to realize that that's what is going on, but it is definitely the requests that we never get a chance to "complete."

And yeah JasmineStone, it is getting quite confusing, especially because a lot of the requests I take have similar keywords to begin with so they end up looking the same.

Happy I posted about it after wondering for so long what was going on I assume it's probably happening to most people...

Annnnd my problem is fixed! Hopefully for you guys too. Thanks CC!
