Hello,
Dont know if Im the only Player which has problems with the new form for propersly a Pokestop. I can not make a upload or save the draft. What is the issue? The same upload issue appears for appealing issue with GYM. I wanted to related a issue with a gym and it is not Uploading. Is there a main issue with Pokestops and Gym proposal?
Thank you.

Welcome to the forum 
Are you able to explain what is happening when you try to upload or save a draft?
What are you doing and what happens. Can you provide screenshots?
Hey @MiPolvo ,
Thanks for contacting us regarding this issue. Before we provide further assistance, could you share a bit more context?
As @salixsorbus stated, please describe your experience in as much detail as possible. It may be helpful to include the details of what’s happening, the impact of the issue, screenshots of any error message you receive, or any other information you deem relevant.
Thanks,
Gyms are just an upgraded pokestop. In terms of Wayfarer there is no difference.
I have the same issue.
I cannot save any new Wayspot nomination using the website on my mobile phone instead of using the function directly in the Pokemon Go App.
Sometimes it functions randomly but mostly either I cannot upload any pictures or an error message occured when I want to save a draft or want to sent the new nomination.
I was having the same issue earlier, gave up submitting it at the location but have managed to submit it via computer once I got home. Any chance you can try using a different device or browser?
Now I changed the browser on my mobile phone (normally I use google Chrome, now I changed to Firefox) and I was able to submit two wayspots. I will check it again on a different time.
But thank you already for the advice of trying another browser.

Hi @MiPolvo , welcome to the Wayfarer Community Forum. Can you share the browser and device details with OS version?
I have the same issue.
@MariaSunshine , Can you share the browser and device details with OS version?
Hi @ScopelyExpOren, sorry for the late answer. I dont know if it will help for further assistent.
For your information, i had the problem “upload issue” using Phone Google Pixel10 , Android 17 with Google/Chrome browser. I already install Firefox and now its working. After changing the browser all works fine.
(I tried for my own checking if the issue appears because of some browser definition, but i did not found any thing.)
Thank you for the Help! If you need more info about the Device, let me know.
Good Exploring!
Thank you for sharing the device and browser details. Definitely, it helps. I will add this information to our review. Glad to know it is working fine in Firefox.
Regards,
This new way of proposing pokestops is horrifically bad. I can not imagine why the change was made to begin with. The drag and drop is just the most unneeded change. It was explained that it was so it was easier when uploading on a desktop computer. WHAT?!?!?! THIS IS A MOBILE GAME. I dont even own a desktop computer. There was nothing wrong with uploading from pokemon go where i take the pic right then and there at the spot. This new system seems to open the door wide open for fraudulant stops.
The issue i am actually having is when i browse my photos and try to upload(wifi or cellular) it just sits there with the busy icon spinning and it never uploads. I reduced the size of the file as much as possible(never needed to with the old system) and still doesnt work. And its not a blanket nothing works, its super inconsistant of when it does or does not work! Its even letting a larger file upload but not a smaller one. My phone is an android and i have no issues anywhere else so skip the whole “it must be my phone.”. I am able to upload a full gb of video to youtube but somehow it cant manage a 100kb photo to your site.
I am not a large numbers nominator but the few I have done since the change has worked flawlessly.
I personally prefer to finish the submission using a desktop PC, makes it much easier to do a bit of research on the location that can improve the Description and supplemental.
Many people are using the new process 100% on mobile without issue.
In regards to images I have now tried both upload on mobile on site and upload when I return to the PC, both worked fine.
People where creating fraudulent stops before so I do not see this making any difference.
I understand that I am only talking of my opinion of the new system and I realise that there are issues which need addressing but don’t make it sound like it is completely broken for everyone and the old process was perfect.
The mobile I had until about 6 months ago was a nightmare for Wayfarer, as soon as PoGo opened the camera or galley app it would close Pogo.
I’m having the opposite issue - mobile Firefox will no longer recognise my location, so I can’t submit or save drafts. Have to switch to Chrome or just use my PC if the sub is close enough to home.
I have my browser privacy settings set to ‘websites can ask for location’, but Wayfarer has never done so. The only other FF option is to block location data.
(Google Pixel 9, Android 17).
Ok, i understand you prefer to use your desktop, thats fine. But this is STRICTLY a mobile game. You can not play or download on a desktop computer, right? So im not saying to not allow people to finish submission on a desktop, what i am saying is it should first and foremost be optimized to work for submitting on mobile devices which the game is designed for in the first place.
Wayfarer is not a “mobile game”, it’s a community driven mapping project. While yes, it does feed its data into mobile apps like Pikmin Bloom, Monster Hunter Now, and Pokemon GO, it is its own separate product. Does that mean Scopely should treat Wayfarer as a mobile app? They have the analytics on who uses the site and how, so if they think its best to focus on desktop visitors as a priority they are the most informed to make that decision.
Complaining about an issue that the majority of people seem to not be encountering does not help find the solution. Different hardware and software can interact in millions if not billions of configurations, especially when there something as open-ended and varied like Android thrown into the mix. Help Scopely get to the root of the problem by sharing your situation and the information pertinent to it.
To make an analogy: You’ve walked into a doctors office and started yelling that you are in pain. When someone comes up to ask what’s wrong you just repeat yourself and add “I wasn’t in pain yesterday, hurry up and fix me”.
Ok sure, but clearly i am griping about the mobile game aspect of it.
And interesting analogy. I see it differently though. This is as though i went to a store regularly and opened the door just fine for years. Then one day the owners just up and changed the door knob and now it simply wont work for me. How much time needs to pass before i tell the shop owner, “hey your new door knob doesnt seem to work quite right, what was wrong with the old one?”. And does it make a difference if some other guy in the shop says “worked for me just fine.” Cool story, but that didnt change that it wont work for me. “Well i just used a different door and it that one worked fine.” (Comperable to it working fine on a desktop). Ok cool story again about something else working, but i want to know why the door knob on the front door, that seemed to work perfectly fine, got changed around to accomidate the side entrance users.
Or if you want a medical analogy, its as though i went to the dentist for a cleaning, bit he pulled a tooth that wasnt giving me any issues to replace it with another tooth that falls out after the first few days. How long before i can qiestion why the heck the dentist did what he did in the first place and to fix what is now broken?
You and i both know the game is riddled with issues, its completely reasonable to question why the bugs and broken things are unfixable yet they will make these random changes to things that worked and sometimes they fail. This is something rampant in the tech industry, that sometimes they make changes that arent needed and with it comes new issues.
Your store analogy is also flawed. Stores change things all the time, if the door knob is only an issue for you then you should mention it to the owner who then should take a look at why it isn’t working well for you but works great for everyone else.
You mentioning the issues “you” are having is not the issue, the way you mentioned it is as it comes across is. A comment that “It is not working well for me because … My mobile details are…” is much more useful then “This is crap, go back to how it was, I don’t care if many others prefer it.”
I did mention a few reasons for the switch in another thread…
- The wayfarer team having control of the code.
- No longer having to wait for the PoGo team to change the code.
- Only 1 set of code to change when making changes.
- All Wayfarer in 1 place.
Am i in the twilight zone or something 
. This is literally where they send you to report bugs and issues. Oh am i supposed to know about the other things wayfair does? Am i supposed to tell them how to fix it? Should i spend hours searching around online to try and track down the issue? You tech guys crack me up . I work on cars, want to know what i get constantly? “Hey so my step daughters bought a car 500 bucks, do you know why the rear brakes are locked up?” No info on what car it is, what year it was made, no clue what the condition the car is in, dont know if its drums or rotors, ive never seen this car in my life, and they want me to explain how to fix it.
People dont go looking for help because they know what the issue is and can fix it themselves. This is where i was sent to report my issue. And so far i have been met by some of the most incredibly rude people that cant seem to help past “i like the new system, it works for me.” And “well wayfair does more than mobile games OBVIOUSLY.”(My god, how could i have not known that) and gaslighting that “only you are having this issue, everyone else loves it.” Bulllll i am the only one having the issue. And maybe my wifi is the problem 
, but it wasnt a problem with the old system. which is where the frustration comes in. Neither of you two were helpful, at all. I have had to sit here and defend my frustration several times and yet, no solutions given. Want to know what kind of phone? Samsung s21 ultra. Unlimited data. Want to know specifics? Too bad because i. Dont. Know.
