After trying to scout numerous times yesterday without luck, today I logged in at 01.30GMT as I often do (8.30 here), reviewed 3 tracks which all did nor submit (it was not the top of the hour problem). So logged out and tried to log back in but kept getting the error 'unable to validate' I have been trying to log in hourly since then without luck.

UPDATE, can log in now, reviewed 3 more tracks, none of which would submit, again!

Thanks, I did try that several times without luck.

some times its hard knowing what to right but i love it when a good song come on what do you think of my last comment?

LOVE IT i think this song has it all great tempo and great song it is all in balance it is a real wanna jig song and just to prove it i got up and had a dance!
the singer has a great voice i have no negative comments on this song at all.

maybe its th depth/length of what you are putting, I dont always write lots but this is one of my last ones from yesterday

Light relaxing and airy intro that lifts you up and is all floaty feeling, though the track is a bit distant, like you are listening to it through a wall. The string accompaniment fits the track beautifully and works great with the drums and guitar line. The main component of this track is the vocals and the are delivered really well, tunefull and yet with energy, this goes for both the lead and backing vocals and the track is pretty much built round them. There is a good pace with enough going on to keep your attention. All very good just the overall balance of the track good be clearer and this is a winner.

Hi,
I only joined STP last night and have also had some problems this morning with a couple of reviews but am loving Emma Cairo and Flying Frisbee!!:T

It's all working now. STP got back to me and said there was an issue with submitting tracks that has now been resolved and the "unable to validate" error is an issue when there is a delay between logging in on your PC and STP receiving the instruction it's due to high traffic volume or low Internet speeds - they are working on a fix for this.

Good to get a decent and timely response from them - other sites should take notice, mentioning no names (cough...cough...myhpf!).

damn .. think AG11 has now closed - or there's just another error on the site.

been trying to scout for 20 minutes now and reloaded the room dozens of times and nothing coming back apart from a 49 second track, a 52 second one and an 11:52 one as well - none of which work.

yep having exactly the same issue, managed to get myself up to 3 stars last night on 250 tracks and 88.57% accuracy, now i'm rearing to go and no joy

jasonwatkins

well done on the three stars

only 1,250 to go for number 4.

i've probably lost about a week's worth of scouting this month due to huge PC problems, family stuff and other things otherwise i'd have the room completed already - stuck on 812 tracks.

it technically shouldn't shut 'till monday but i guess with the influx of new members (thanks again martin .. ) their server is getting royally hammered.

think i'll go and watch 'speed racer' and come back later and see if it's working

mate im furious i had the option over staying at work or have an empty gaff and getting some scouting done, looks like i made the wrong choice

jasonwatkins

i've got 29 quid in my account waiting to withdraw, and i was hoping to do another 100 tracks over the weekend to add another 9 quid to that and then pull it out on monday.

if it's definately shut then i'll just have to pull the 29 quid out and make it last
