alanocu, I have a question that maybe you can help me with. The last couple of clips I made to go public were not put up and a couple I did have up are now gone. How do I find out what the problem or reason is? Thanks Tanya.

alanocu

what are the names of the last two clips?- I'll check to see if they show up for me.

Well, one finally showed up but I first clipped it three days ago and again last night. That was The kitten stretched out I can't remember the next one posted about the same time, and the last was yesterday a Ruby Gloom which is quite cute. Thanks Alan.
