I Could Not Delete My Articles at Bubblews

I read another bad news about Bubblews so I thought I should start transferring my articles. I tried deleting at least 5 of my articles at Bubblews but every time I delete, the page just refreshed and opened up to another page and as I check on the lists of my articles the deleted articles are still there.
Does it take days before the deletion takes effect or they really have disabled the "delete feature" for their own benefit?

Using Chrome browser instead of Mozilla has already solved my problem. I am now deleting my important articles one by one. So those of you who are having same issue, try to log in using Chrome. This may help you too.

I found that I had to press Delete two or three times on the article. Occasionally, it would eventually delete it but not always. In the end, I gave up (I already had copies of the articles, because I always wrote them in a word processor and copied and pasted them) and requested that they delete my account. Mysteriously, in spite of the fact that I got no answer to my previous Support ticket about deleting, they deleted my account PDQ.

Oh no. I've seen other people mention the same thing but I was hoping it was just a temporary glitch as I've still got loads of articles I want to delete. I started doing it months ago, but never got around to finishing the job

@TheHorse I deleted some of my best ones too, but not all of them. After reading this I went back to see what the situation was and I successfully deleted one more post. I'm not sure when I'll have spare time to try to get rid of the rest though.

With all the errors I haven't been able to get in there to see if it's still active. Sometimes I get the blue under maintenance screen and other times nothing loads

When they messed everybody around back at New Year, I deleted 1400 articles. They weren't great or substantial works of great thought, just my ramblings. But I wasn't willing to let Arvind earn off my efforts on posts he hadn't paid for.

That was my thought too. I deleted as much of my good stuff as I could. Funny that I still wanted to see if I could get to one more redemption. I wrote mostly fluffy pieces, but not insultingly so. I'm not capable of that. But it looks like they might even be "jacking around" those who stuck it out and went for that final redemption. I haven't filed any complaints, but I suspect the FBI has already been notified about what's been going on over there.

My positivity with law of attraction gave my Mylot back to me. So call me a fool but I am still hoping that Bubblews will comeback to its glory so I will still keep my articles there. I believe in the power of possibility. I remember someone told me that Mylot will comeback to its glory and where is that person now.

I admire your positive mind. With myLot I did not delete my account because my heart was telling me it will make a comeback and my heart was right. With Bubblews my heart refused to tell me anything because it has become numbed for it suffered lots of heartaches after B failed to pay many of my redemptions and the last is when it reduced my earning to just one percent of the total. When it makes a comeback, I pray it will be just as honest as mylot.

@CaptAlbertWhisker Let me cross my finger with you. The more paying sites, the better.

i dunno what's goin' on o'er there. i'd read @Horse talk 'f such 'n @owlwings 's well i believe? i went 'n deleted 'n elder post with no troubles jest to test the theory. don't reckon it matters if'n we delete such, we've not access to their archives 'n thus they'll still remain in some fashion, correct?

@crazyhorseladycx yes more maintenance coming up for sure but I doubt if users will stay there for long if they continue to be inconsistent when it comes to payment.

To my knowledge the delete button is supposed to work. I'll send you something in the PM about this.
@owlwings I see your answer below. Did you have the same username while on the B site? I didn't realize you were there also.

I've been trying to remove articles as well. My earnings have only moved ten cents in four months and I've had one pay out last November paying only half of my earnings. I figured it wasn't a making site just social but even now it's hard to get responses and visit so I'm thinking of letting go.

Letting go is the best move. Working there is already a waste of time.

Why take them down? I saved all mine on my laptop, so I have them, even if the site goes belly up.

Maybe we should all stop talking about deleting our articles from there on here so they won't know about it. 
Who knows, maybe they just want to make members' lives difficult.

You have a point but can't help to talk about it because I want to know the experience of others so I would know if this is only happening to me. From the replies, it looks like my case is different from others so I presume it is bugs or problem with my browser.

It happened to me too. I wrote a similar post here and there about cauliflowers ([em]wub[/em and them I thought about bringing here other posts. I could not delete them so I will let them be and move on.

I wonder if they already disabled us from deleting our articles.

I will try to use another browser to see what will happen. But at the moment the site is under maintenance and so can't log in.
