I'm hopeful it's just this because it also hasn't made an appearance on the latest releases tab (although a variety of glitches could be the cause there) but stretching into 24 hours seems unusual since I already went through approval on the cover and had the page up for a bit beforehand and like 90 percent of everything new I post has gone up with no problems within an hour.

There is one difference though. I posted the chapter immediately live at 11:25 am local time and everything else has been scheduled to post in advance. Could it be an issue related to that?

If it's the very first chapter ever published for that story, then you need to wait a little for an approval. Even if it was scheduled, if it was the very first one, it still has to go through the check-up, after which it will correctly show up in the story and the Recent Releases tab.

And also -> https://forum.scribblehub.com/threads/frequently-asked-questions.2397/

So, if the problem persists, message the admins or report your own story and explain the case in the ticket.

Here it says 12 hours but other places say 24 hours. It's coming up on 22 hours. What's the best way to message an admin?

@Tony . Tony is literally the only admin, so just tag him and he'll check. Or rather, even if you didn't, he'll probably check it anyways, so just wait.

@Tony - And the above issue with a story not appearing live even though it seems to be getting views and the first chapter is listed as published (and also has a handful of views for some reason)? I just want to be able to get to work :(

Edit - My updated image was approved really quick. What more do I need to do? :(

Did you try deleting the chapter and reuploading it?

If you did delete the chapter and reupload it, it won't appear on the first page. It's an anti-cheat from what I remember.

The entire work isn't showing up publicly, so I dunno if that will help. I am deathly afraid of tripping some anti-cheat whatever which will make sure my work never gets shown at all.

I'm starting to pine for sites that let you just post stuff without days of unpredictable hoops to jump through...X_X
Your novel is visible to me, the one I can't find is the chapter itself.

Oh yeah, that does happen... Well, it would most likely fix the issue nonetheless... >.>

Weird, I can't seem to see it outside of my Create/Dashboard page. It's nowhere on my profile. X_X...

One thought, if there a limit on public series? I'm at 15 public. Maybe that's why it isn't showing up publicly?

Officially 24 hours with zero sign from anyone what the problem is X_X...

There is no limit.

Whatever the issue was, it is fixed. I can see your Prologue just fine, and the series is now visible in your profile as well.

I finally see it on my page but it's not on the main page anywhere. X_X...

That's because it was uploaded a few hours ago, and the other series already overtook its spot by now.

It should appear in the main page once you release a new chapter.

It was only publicly available a few minutes ago.
I'm aware, but you published it a few hours ago, didn't it? The system doesn't take into account a weird bug where the chapter isn't visible.

You can try asking @Tony for help, he should be able to put your story back at the homepage.

I did try @Tony, still waiting on a reply. And, to clarify, it was set to be published 24 hours ago, not "a few". A psychologically trying and emotionally draining 24 hours, I feel heavily frustrated by having to stop writing and fight for my story when I just want to be writing.

Edit - I'm really tired and frustrated.

Well, then you just need to wait I suppose. Tony is currently fixing some issues on his other site, so it might take a while longer until he logs in to Scribbly's forums, but he'll probably see your message eventually.
