# Why is my game still "unlisted" on textadventures.co.uk?

I have a game on the Text Adventures called "Wandering and Shrinking (1.0.1)", however I could never tell if it was ever actually uploaded. Whenever I went to edit the game and make sure it was visible, it defaulted to "unlisted". I repeatedly set it to public, but I was never sure if it was really public.

Then I decided to try editing my profile, since I also have an issue where I do not have a profile picture like everyone else. I made a new password, and suddenly when I went to check my games, the game had gone missing from my list! It apparently had made a new profile for my new password (which is a load of malarkey) and I had to relog in with my Google account, since that was what I had used originally.

All of these issues have simply baffled me, and I am really interested in using this web service. Can somebody explain to me what might be happening?

To make a game public, you need to choose a category as well, so make sure you're doing that.

Once you've made a game public, it doesn't go into its category immediately. First, a moderator must check it. Games which are not of sufficient quality to qualify for their category will be placed in the Sandpit instead.
