Stumbleupon Bug – Post Hangs and Does not Complete Submission
June 5, 2009 · By Bill Austin
If you have a Wordpress.com blog, there is a curious bug / feature whereby you try to Stumble a particular post on your blog for the first time and it will not “take.”
Instead of getting the “Ranking received” notice you get a blank dialog box that just hangs there forever.
The URL is not added to the index and it is as if the post was never stumbled.
We have had some success with this bug by asking someone else to stumble the post but that does not always work.
Sometimes just waiting a few days will cause it to correct itself.
It appears to have something to do with the system clock on your machine conflicting with something Stumbleupon is looking for.
It began around the time wordpress.com added the bar at the top of all their blogs.
This is the “quota” that some people refer to when they write that they think they are being punished for submitting too many stumbles to quickly and it behaves exactly that way, appearing to the user that their account has been restricted somehow.
If you have that problem, let us know. Someone else ought to be able to add the initial post to Stumbleupon and after that, you should be able to stumble it yourself.
