Hello, first post here. I just tried the 'Upload later' function for the first time, believing it was fixed after reading this thread. However both of my submissions still have their images swapped. Is somebody please able to take a look and swap the two images (hopefully before they make it to 'in voting'.
BauceSauceIRL-PGO He said here that restarting the app = resetting PoGo.
I am going to say that the fix did not work, as my app was definitely restarted between Friday and Saturday mid-afternoon when my upload images were reversed. I will stick to taking pictures and manually submitting later when I have better cell reception/wifi and am still within 10km until someone confirms this issue is ACTUALLY fixed.
So honestly do you want us to actually contact when they are rejected as previously stated or contact for all that had photos swapped even when still in queue or in voting?
I agree with you about the fix. My submission was uploaded late Sunday afternoon/early evening. My game was shutdown and restarted multiple times between Friday and Sunday.
I have 5 nominations with swapped pictures uploaded later (Sept. 26th, Sunday) after new start of application. Therefore, definitely no working fix was made on Friday, at least for me. Regarding the first answer from Niantic helpdesk about no possibility of corrections I withdrew them. Now I see you can make corrections. I would like to ask you if you could correct these nominations and send them back to the queue. Thank you. @NianticGiffard@NianticTintino
Person nominates a Waypoint in either game (Ingress or Pokemon)
Waypoint goes to voting, gets approved, and does not appear in game for a long time (eg 1 month)
Later Waypoint will ONLY appear in 1 game and not the other (eg appears as a Pokestop in Pokemon but does not appear as a portal in Ingress and does not appear on Intel maps)
Walk to Pokestop, select photo, Like photo, and THEN you will get the portal in Ingress and you will be given the access key in inventory (but it does NOT increase your discovered portal counts still)
I had been complaining in other group of 3 or 4 very specific parks where it made no sense why it was not populating and after liking the photos they ALL went in game in less than a day (the next update)
I just wanted to say thank you to whoever held my nomination with reversed photos from going in to voting, fixed them and then let it go in to voting! Much appreciated!
Hello this is the nomination that was affected by swapped images mid-review and I think that therefore the nomination has been unfairly rejected, when it shouldn’t have been. It’s called “Buitenkans buurtdeal”
The Nomination ID of the nomination. ESVtWz5TeUmu6MU7w8+er/C9UabbeV29NykcfvXCuQc=
if you want a text on my explanation why the rejection is unfair here it is:
(Hello I have a problem with a nomination. There have been a lot of problems and bugs in wayfarer lately. And Niantic has acknowledged that issue and they said to reach out to them if we think that the bugs have influenced the results of our nominations, which I’m sure about it did. It flipped the photos mid-review having other reviewers to deny based on the front picture thinking it doesn’t meet criteria or it’s a seasonal feature, except this tile has been placed on 10 October 2019 by the Goverment (I went by their office and fact-checked it) and since the wayfarer team said they will review the nominations themselves and redirect the result (depending on their opinion) I’m here to ask for a re review of the nomination “Buitenkans buurtdeal” with the Nomination ID: ESVtWz5TeUmu6MU7w8+er/C9UabbeV29NykcfvXCuQc=
I’m 100% sure the bugs have influenced the accurate reviewing from the reviewers, and all the reject reasons are incorrect and I can counter-proof them.
“Nomination appears to have inappropriate or explicit content”
- there is nothing inappropriate or explicit about a tile placed by recognition by the Goverment for all the hard work and project that been in the neighbourhood, such as placing a playground, fitness accessoires, keeping the area green and clean.
“Nomination does not appear to be permanent or put down for a seasonal time”
*in fact it is permanent, it’s been laying in the ground for 2 years now. And it’s going to stay there for decades at least, it’s an official tile placed by the Goverment in recognition for the hard work. If anyone would even remove the tile, they can risk a €500 fine and a few months of jail time, and the tile would be replaced, because the Goverment really appreciate the hard work that’s put in by the inhabitants here. (That’s even written on the tile)
“Nomination does not meet acceptance criteria”
* well it certainly does as it’s an important and unique tile, it was so important for the Goverment about all the hard work that has been out in here to make the area a much better place, and when people see this nomination in game or in person, it would motivate them to improve the live quality of every neightboorhood in the village/city of Brunssum, and that’s why it’s so important, because it benefited a lot to the improvement of the area.
Hope y’all are exploring safely. We wanted to give you all some updates before the weekend. So these updates are in relation to the Image Swapping and the Sync issues mentioned above.
Image Swapping Using Upload Later - we miscommunicated on Friday, but the fix should be shipped
Wayspot Syncing Issue - still under investigation by the Pokémon GO team
Thank you to all Explorers who posted on my and NianticGiffard’s wall to get the photos swapped on decided nominations per NianticDanbocat's request. We have collected all of the nominations you shared with us and are working on getting the images swapped to the order intended.
@NianticTintino@NianticGiffard Thanks so much for fixing my wayspot nominations! They all look good and got approved, so big relief/very exciting. I bet the local kids are going to go nuts when they see all the new pokestops at the park. 😁
Is the process of reconsidering the rejections still being done? My friend said that the photos were swapped correctly on Wayfarer but the rejection has not been reconsidered. If that is the case, why even bother swapping the photos? Might as well not do anything.
@NianticTintino@NianticDanbocat if it's true that nomination missing from the list is actually reviewed by Niantic team, then can the team prioritize to review nominations stuck in-voting for months and NOT the nominations submitted few days ago (in the "prioritized" cells)??
I checked my nominations list, and turns out I've missed one of my nomination that was submitted 3 days ago (and of course, that's on a prioritized cell)!
Everything is fine, there's no problem at all, the queue doesn't exists. That's why we're doubling you the accrual of nominations from 7/14 days to 1 each day.
Continuing the updates. We have shipped the fix to the missing map marker from the nomination summary page. You should now see that fix reflected while nominating.

Use the Linked thread above to post in your affected Noms. Dozens other people with this issue, including me. Expect a wait. Thanks.

Please swap my photos and resubmit my pokestop submission.

I just realized that I put shuffle board when it ought to be one word. Will I be able to correct this after you resubmit it for me?
Thank you!
Reporting that I submitted four Upload Later submissions today (9/28) and the images were swapped.

To echo what rodensteiner asked, what exactly do you mean by “reset the app?” Does that mean go into advanced settings and refresh game data (PoGo)?
BauceSauceIRL-PGO He said here that restarting the app = resetting PoGo.
I am going to say that the fix did not work, as my app was definitely restarted between Friday and Saturday mid-afternoon when my upload images were reversed. I will stick to taking pictures and manually submitting later when I have better cell reception/wifi and am still within 10km until someone confirms this issue is ACTUALLY fixed.
Thanks for sharing the details everyone, we'll look into it.
So honestly do you want us to actually contact when they are rejected as previously stated or contact for all that had photos swapped even when still in queue or in voting?

I agree with you about the fix. My submission was uploaded late Sunday afternoon/early evening. My game was shutdown and restarted multiple times between Friday and Sunday.
My bugged nomination has already been accepted. As nothing moves here without an upgrade, I assume it's because of my report.
Thank you for the swift action, @NianticGiffard.
@NianticDanbocat @NianticGiffard @NianticTintino
I used three times "upload later".
For first two requests, i didn't receive the emails and the counter of available requests has been decremented.
For the last request, the images have been swapped, I withdrew it, and I sent again it.
Can you give me more feedback about it, please?
Can I get them back?
I have 5 nominations with swapped pictures uploaded later (Sept. 26th, Sunday) after new start of application. Therefore, definitely no working fix was made on Friday, at least for me. Regarding the first answer from Niantic helpdesk about no possibility of corrections I withdrew them. Now I see you can make corrections. I would like to ask you if you could correct these nominations and send them back to the queue. Thank you. @NianticGiffard @NianticTintino
Thank you
Seems @NianticDanbocat account is no longer active. So how we can now send "dot affected" submissions to review?
@NianticTintino @NianticGiffard
A friend of mine had a nomination rejected due to the photo swap bug, could you please have a look into it?

Hi just posting here as a follow up to my previous thread as there is a similar bug that has been confirmed and duplicated in game
ref: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/21676/waypoint-bug#latest

Just dropping by again to say thanks to whoever swapped my photos around.

how is the digging and bug squashing going on the problem sync between Lightship and the various games?

@NianticTintino @NianticGiffard Thanks so much for fixing my wayspot nominations! They all look good and got approved, so big relief/very exciting. I bet the local kids are going to go nuts when they see all the new pokestops at the park. 😁
Thanks for a weekly update…. Communication going in the right direction 👍
But I have to say I’m completely flummoxed as to why it’s the PoGo team that is trying to solve something that primarily is about the sync to Ingress.
And sorry guys but the thought of the PoGo team being left in charge of a bug fix alone does not fill me with optimism.
But let’s see what next week will bring.
