sweeps moving around while I'm doing them

does anyone know why my sweeps are moving to different pages as I am trying to go down my list ? ie, I was on page 1 of my daily sweeps and finished it, went to page 2 and a few of the sweeps from 1 were on page 2. This happened all across all 12 of my daily sweeps pages, so I had to go back to 1 and thru all pages to find the ones that were moved while I switched from page to page ! Whats up with that ?????
 
Sorry, I don't know. That only happens to me if I started entering sweeps, left my computer on but left to do other things, and after a long time, returned. Then my sweeps list reverts to the default setting, sorted by Name and Ascending (I think). I have not had the experience you describe.

Another thought is if you were entering while there was site maintenance going on, but I am just guessing. If it continues, you may need to submit a ticket to the Help Desk:

johnsnook, as arrtup3 notes, if you sort by, then leave it up too long, it will revert to the default setting. Or maintenance/update reset to the default setting.

It's also possible that sweeps you saved to daily were reported & moved to a different category - ie: listed as daily entry, reported as weekly/1x/etc. OR vice versa, listed as 1x/weekly/etc, then moved to daily.

btw - As a PLUS member, I don't use the categories provided, I use my own, so sweeps I saved wouldn't be moved to a different category even if they were reported so I'm just assuming this could happen.
 
None of those conditions happened I was going from page to page and did not leave my computer and they were not changed to a different category they were still in my daily sweeps only on different pages, in other words I entered them and then they showed up in later pages and some that I had not entered were moved to pages I had already finnished

Has it been working properly since that time?

Yes, I understood your post. Just to clarify - I didn't mean that the sweeps jumped to different categories. What I meant was that when it happened to me, it was because I was on the page for too long (which you have clarified was not the case for you). When I was on the page for too long, still in my dailies, the sweeps moved to different pages because my dailies reverted to the default setting of Name/Descending. I always like to enter by sorting Expiration Date/Ascending so I can do the ones that are expiring soonest first.

Anyway, when the list reverts to the default setting, it does make it look like the sweeps are jumping all over the place. It used to drive me crazy. Now that I am aware that this can happen, I keep an eye on how my dailies (or what ever category I am entering) are sorted, so that when I go to the next page, they are still sorted the way I started (in my case Expiration Date/Ascending).

I hope all is working smoothly now. If it does happen again, check to see if it is caused by reverting to default sorting. If so, you can fix it. Good luck John!

OK, sounds like it was just a 1 time glitch then - if it happens again, please post so to this thread so we don't start at the beginning again, ty!
 
has not happened since but has happened in the past albeit at least a year or more
