A few of you are having issues posting to Gear Swap, and the listings, when published, look “corrupted” with an icon in place of your avatar, no featured image, so swap type associated with it, or status (open/closed).
If you are experiencing this behavior, your browser has more than likely cached a version of the create post form that had a bug in it earlier this afternoon. Please clear your browser cache and try again. If you encounter the same issue, try a different browser. If you continue to experience this issue, please reply back to this thread with more details.
As the devs work on fixing bugs this week, the site will change constantly under the hood. Most users won’t discover anything too weird, but users who create content may need to fix weird behavior by clearing their browser caches.
