Testing

Hello, may you help me please a bit? I’m new here and I didn’t find the answer. It is necessary to test patterns here, I can’t post them without it?And, also, can I approve more then 1 tester, is it okay?

You don’t need to test your patterns before you post them but it does help to find any mistakes. You can approve as many testers as you want! I hope this helps! The help center also has lots of answers​:yellow_heart:

I have some patterns I’ve gotten here that obviously were not tested and should have been. No communication from the designer either. So, yes, I would recommend testing. I test / edit for someone and think I’m pretty good at catching my own mistakes … and then I get it tested. Ha. :yarn: Welcome to Ribblr. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Thank you! But I didn’t see where can I post them, I only saw the button “test”.

ahah, yes, I understand. Thank you. But I’m sure in patterns, they were checked a lot of times. But ok, I just were intrested because I have also short free patterns and wanted to publish them without testing, they are definitely okay, but I don’t see where can I post them, I see only “test”.

You just need to go to where it says Live. I guess in your case it would say Off.
Make sure you follow all the prompts. There is a box you have to mark that says all of the instructions are there, or something.

Testing patterns is entirely optional! When you’re ready, simply click the switch that says “private” to make it public. Good luck with your patterns!

I hope that at some point you would opt to have your patterns tested. For really simple patterns it may not mean a lot whether a pattern was tested or not

I’m more interested in complex patterns and am hesitant to buy those untested

Yes, of course they are tested, but I have difficulties on this site and can make mistakes while uploading, so I have thought that yes, thats’t better to test them here

Plus Ribblr recently added some features to testing. There is a recent thread that they posted
