Episode Scheduling - How to Edit/Cancel?

[roy7zen]

Hi everyone,

I just read a similar topic entitled "Can you hide EPISODES?'...

As a new user to this site and exploring around, I fiddled around with the calendar and realized I've unwillingly posted a page that I haven't finished setting up yet. Is there a way to cancel the scheduling time without deleting the whole page that I set up already?

I think it would really be of great convenience if creators had the control to save and then publish only when they're ready and not because they're forced to post due to the scheduling system.

Cheers,
Roy

If it's scheduled and hasn't been published yet, you can still delete it. If that function is bugging out and you can't delete it, you can always change the scheduled publishing time to a much later date.

I guess changing the schedule is what you're looking for indeed

An episode is very long to be deleted, so take your time if you do it.
Or else you'll end up be crazy in front of your computer

Hi guys, thanks for the reply.

Ok, understood. Still, it would still be great if this publishing system were slightly different.

Did you find the edit schedule function?

How would you like it different? You need to specify, otherwise no one can do anything about it And then notify @michaelson or someone else on the Tapastic team.

One thing that I would love to see change is the AM/PM system. I can't formy_life_ remember what is what and with clock systems running all over the world with different time zones it is so much easier to use a 24-hour clock or be able to set a time zone. I don't know how many times I've released a comic in the middle of the night (my time zone) or that I've expected a comic to show up in the feed to later realize that it's not due 'til 12 hours. It would be awesome to be able to tell my audience that my comic is going to be released on a given time every week, and to not make it a hassle making it happen.

Sorry for hi-jacking your thread, @roy7zen but I felt it was related and then I went off on a rant, haha!

Hi yvettegustafsson,

Please feel free to hi-jack anytime!

Well alright, so after fiddling with the site some more, yeah, I guess the only issue I have for now is the inability to cancel the scheduling. Why not just have a "save" function instead of the "Publish Later", because the latter is actually already launching the page, just not visible to the public yet. I guess its not a big deal, then again, I am just a grain of sand here...

As for the timezone thing, I also had the same issue today. Last night I tried to test a page and scheduled it to release today at 6am, but this morning when I checked it said it was still to release in 20 hours or so.

Oh, let me also add another thing. So for experiment sake, I went ahead and published a page, but seems you can't reschedule to edot it again if a mistake has been made. I'd have to delete the whole page and start from scratch... ):~

I mean, Is this an issue to anyone else or is it just me?

You don't have to do that. You just go to the episode and click on the little edit button shaped like a pencil and then re-upload the new file.

Heeelp! I can't find the edit schedule function, where is it?
