Can't create or save to Draft any new listings

[momcqueen]

How long has this been happening? I cannot create or Save to Draft any new listings, it won't let me get past or around this page and all the work I've done is lost. Twice now. 

It's been an eternity since I last tried to create any new listings. How long has this been occurring for people? I doubt I am the first to see it. 

What's the solution or workaround?

I managed to get it listed by continuing to hammer at it as if the twelve time I tried would be the lucky time, and eventually it worked. What a butt-pain. Was this just a glitch?

I pointed this issue out to Tyler over a month ago and he was investigating. I mentioned it again in the Ask Andrea forum on Tuesday. Would have thought an issue like this would be of extremely high urgency.

First reports on dot ca go back to May 31, 2018.

Original response from tyler as follows:

Hi @cerebralmonk - It sounds like an HTTP/HTTPS compliance issue. Are you using the Chrome browser? If you are, would you try the same thing from a browser like FireFox or Microsoft Edge?

Send me a private message with the outcome and I'll see what I can find out from my end. Thanks!

Hmm, I use Safari and it doesn’t usually jump to conclusions that any websites are evil. Maybe I’m an update late, I’ll have to check.

If you cannot create or save a draft, I would suggest making the listing as a scheduled listing with a start date a couple weeks into the future. This will keep the listing in the schedule listing section and it will not start until weeks later. This is just a temporary hold for the listing. Complete it when you have time. When it is done, change the schedule time to Start Immediately and the listing will go live.

There is no charge for holding a listing in the schedule queue as long as you manually started using Start Immediately before the scheduled start time is reached.

Before Drafts were implemented, this was the way listings could be held for up to 3 weeks to be started when completed. One could change the schedule time to a later date anytime they wanted to keep the listing longer than two or three weeks.

Now I see six Drafts for this listing which I do not recall existing yesterday. Also, saving a new Note will appear to stall but show as updated if you leave the page... sometimes.
