How to check for the last time we updated entries

To avoid irritating the hell out of everyone with entry updates, which are updated as much as every few days to as little as everyone week and a half to two weeks, we don't get too many entries in a few days so once a week is the norm, we have turned journal notification off unless an announcement or important update is being made. We receive a lot of notes to this account (and for some reason a few to our personal accounts, even though it clearly states NOT to do this on the staff page, so please don't. Future notes to our personal accounts about this will be ignored, multiple messages to multiple accounts will be regarded as spam).

We check for submissions and messages every time we log into the account. People assume that their notes where lost a day or two after submitting them simply because it hasn't been updated. To check for the last time we have updated, simply check our recent activity.

click on this, it will turn into this -> Whatever the last visit is is when our last update was.

It's that simple. Do not re-send entries, this only clutters our inbox and gets confusing to have multiples of the same entry. Do not send us messages asking if we GOT your entry a few days after sending it, they will now just be deleted. Only send us a message regarding this if you have sent in your entry BEFORE the last update and it is not here.

So please check for this before you start freaking out and sending messages about it. Thank you :heart:

Do you like all the journal reminders that we send out?

197 deviants said Yes, I like to know two days before the contest ends, the day of and when it's closed as well as who the winner's are and when the next contest starts.

26 deviants said 5 journals in my inbox is a bit much for those reminders. I like that the winners and next round are two seperate updates, but I think the entry reminders are a bit much. One warning and then the closing is fine.

26 deviants said I need as many reminders as posable, I would like more during the month.

22 deviants said 5 journals in my inbox is a bit much for those reminders. I like all the final day reminders (two days, day of and closed) but the winner and next entry journal should just be one.
5%
13 deviants said I want as few journals in my inbox as posable. One entry for when the round ends and one entry for the winners and next round (combined) is enough.

Important Notice:

Due several reasons we have observed during the past months and issues we need to get through, The Paper Chain will begin a temporary hiatus, we're not sure how long it will last. Thankyou to everyone who has supported us so far, to everyone who participated and everyone who donated, and also a great thanks to the team that makes =ThePaperChain possible. :hug:

We will continue checking messages from time to time in case you have any question.



Round 9 Character


:iconprisonerofconvention:

Name: Jeb
Gender: Male
Age: 18 (fledging juvenile)
Race: Avian
Species: Black-throated Sparrow

Height: 5 ft 9 in.
Face Shape: round/rectangular
Hair: brown, short(ish) and shaggy with thick bangs swept to the right
Eyes: big, round and blue; thick eyebrows
Nose: medium sized; neither up- nor down-turned
Lips: thin, larger lower lip (he has a big mouth)
Skin: tan, caucasian-toned skin

Cloths: medieval period clothing; belted tunic, loose leggings, boots, liripipe
Markings/Piercings/Tatoos: brown wings

Personality: Jeb is naive, painfully optimistic, adventurous, and slightly dense. He has a happy-go-lucky mentality, and very rarely considers the consequences of his actions until after the fact. Jeb is gullible and tends to trust others almost right away, regardless of whether or not they deserve it. He was born and raised in a very small town in the country, and therefore knows little of the outside world.
Cultural Reference: Fantasy; Avian society is divided into classes based upon breed (larger birds at the top and smaller at the bottom). Lower classes (sparrows, finches, etc.) live a more medieval lifestyle, while upper classes (falcons, hawks, etc.) live in an atmosphere similar to the Rococo time period. Avians have two possible forms, a "human" form and a bird form.

Image Refferences:

Mood/Theme Request/Suggestion: An August/Late Summer theme

Other Important Notes: There are two house sparrows named Wun and Too that Jeb found and raised when he was young. He's rarely seen without them. He is also head-over-heals, hopelessly in love with Lilah, a finch that he's known since childhood.

Enjoy!

How often does it usually take for them to update entries?

"A happy person is not someone in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes."
:iconthepaperchain:
This is copied and pasted from our faq section:

How long does it usually take to update an entry?

Entries are generally updated once a week or so depending on how many submissions are coming in and how much time the staff have to update. It may be as often as everyday or as little as every 2 weeks.

please read the faq next time :)
:icontarorae:
I saw the faq only after I'd posted. You guys might want to change the line you've got posted at the bottom of the area where submissions are to be linked that simply says "note us if your entry is missing" because i saw that first.

Also, it's been a lot longer than what was stated as your usual, so I was growing concerned, but I'm still waiting patiently. :3

I'm kind of surprised I won! I'll try to have the reference sheet ready by tonight guys (if things go wrong, I'll have it ready around tomorrow evening)! I'm going to work really hard today! I just need to make the pencil sketches somewhat presentable and program a few things here and there... ^^; God, I love working with flash!
