vmelo, we looked in our database. We did not delete this account. Seems like it was deleted by the user themselves.

Could someone else have got access to your account and deleted it? We are not sure what happened here.

Sorry about this.

FOlks,

This should be solved now. It was a malicious ad - we were able to finally reproduce the problem.

Please let us know if you still see issues.

Rob,

Thanks for info. We have reproduced it once or twice, but cannot find a pattern to it.

Are you continuing to see the problem?

This seems like a problem. Let me ask our engineers to take a loo.

This has been fixed now and is working. Please let us know if you still see problems

rashmi replied on January 12, 2009 19:24 to the question "Is it better to set to be Downloadable, or not?" in SlideShare:

IMO, always better to set as downloadable. You get a lot more views.

You could use Creative Commons license which requires attribution. But if you really care about copyright, then you might not want to allow downloading.

its a choice. For example, I care more about my ideas traveling so I always allow downloading. And I don't mind if people copy my ideas (I ask for them to reference me and most of them do).

At the end of the day, depends on your goals

And we love having you at SlideShare!

rashmi replied on September 05, 2008 03:45 to the question "Had the same problem!" in SlideShare:

Hmm. we are not seeing any problems of this nature (nor have it seen reported from anyone else). Can you post back if you are still having problems.

rashmi replied on July 27, 2008 20:34 to the question "Slidecasts: possible to make minimum time between slides smaller?" in SlideShare:

Dan York did a slidecast of 243 slides in 15 mins: http://www.slideshare.net/danyork/ete...

Thats pretty fast IMO. Are you trying to go faster than that? The playing will not keep up even (i.e., the slides will not play fast enough) even if the slidecast editor allowed it....

rashmi replied on July 20, 2008 21:05 to the problem "new slideshow won't load" in SlideShare:

I think this is a problem with Amazon S3 that we use to host our slideshows. They are down right now - many other web services are down because of this.

Some of the thumbnails or slideshows are cached and therefore viewable. Others are not.

We will be posting updates to our blog: http://blog.slideshare.net/ and twitter: http://www.twitter.net/slideshare

This is a problem with Amazon S3 that we use for hosting files. They are down right now. Many other web services such as twitter are facing the same problem.

Can you post a link so I can take a look: for both the slideshow and the blog page in question.

Thanks!

Jabit,

I apologize regarding the problem. Post deployment glitches do happen. We would be glad if you gave SlideShare another try :->

Conniecrosby, a personal thanks to you for helping us resolve it. The moment I saw your screenshot, I knew for sure what the problem was. A picture speks a thousand words.

It was a minor configuration issue that was responsible.

Cheers,
Rashmi

Yes, we just deployed new code. This is clearly a problem on our end. We are just trying to figure out what the problem.

One thing I have learnt about products is "never assume" that you know what's on people's minds. And its also very helpful to hear people articulate the why in their own words. Once in a while, it turns out that we can build something even more appropriate once we understand the why, rather just the what.

Thanks for sharing.
