Global Edit Challenge - Discussion, Rules, and Prizes!

Wayfarer Help chat will ask the basic info like title and location… you can then add more info like a screenshot of the images with the bad one/s circled. (I personally dont circle them, just describe the culprit “please remove the bad/blurry/license plate/etc. photo”)

You should be able to use the Handbook they added to go through the basics if you wanted to give it another try.

Oh, I found something interesting about the PoGo photo issue tonight.

So, I submitted a new photo earlier today, and it’s a gym. I was able to defeat the other team’s mon and put one of mine in there, and it’s still there. I went to check on my mon, and while doing so, check to see if I could see the photos, and they did load for me but I was on MY HOME WIFI!

Maybe it has something to do with being on data networks that could be causing this issue, but can’t be so sure.

I wondered that too, but I get the same issues at home. I basically can’t see pictures beyond the main one at the moment, regardless of where I am network wise. That’s via the main game map or via gifts

Hmm, well, thought that could be it, but guess not.

Still don’t like that PoGo help chat wouldn’t allow me to send them the screenshot though. I swear, their help chat has gotten worse over time. Can’t even send a screenshot when reporting another user for abuse, like having multiple accounts in the same gym!

Urgh I hate multiple accounts :laughing: but nothing is ever done from reports so I stopped bothering.

Just a reminder that you have about 12 hours left to do your edits as of this message.

Did the challenge end yet ?

I am always confused as to whether 12:00 pm means noon or midnight. Thank you for the countdown!

I’m taking 12pm as being noon.

Another 7 or 8 hours to go… at a guess.

But we know Nia don’t understand international timezones, I wonder when it will really end? Western USA is currently on PST, not the Daylight Saving PDT. They should learn to use UTC and offsets from, but that has confused them in the past since the offset from local time is not fixed and changes due to daylight saving!

Firstly, welcome to the community.

It’s already been stated that the event will end at 12pm PDT (Pacific Daylight Time). Niantic are based in California which covers PDT, which is 7 hours behind UTC. If people have difficulty working out what the differences are between one timezone and another, Dr Google can quite hapily help.

I just went to Google and did “12PM PT to UK”, thinking it was originally 7pm but I forgot we changed the clocks so it is 8pm for me when it finishes.

I’ve got another 30 title edits left so I’ll see if I can use them up.

But California now on PST, because their daylight saving ended on 3rd November, they probably mean their local time which is now UTC -8.

I took the post by @PkmnTrainerJ in good faith and didn’t double check it. Regardless of whether it’s 7 or 8 hours, it’s not difficult to check it online.

True. They said “PT” in the announcement. I can’t follow all the timezones the US has, so google it is.

Well don’t leave it to last minute - may well end an hour early than you calculate because their announcement is unclear!

To be honesr, I have done over 100 edits for this event in my local area. I have no burning need to do too much more.
