Can stumble sites but not mine. Help!   11>|

Can someone tell me why this is happening. When I hit the thumbs up on other sites (not my own) I can rate it without issue. Yet when I try to stumble my new posts on my blog, I can't. I hit submit and get a blank screen. Does anyone know the cause? Or suggest a fix?

Because all but 2 of your page reviews are from your own website. SU has built in controls to prevent spammers from flooding the SU site database with their own sites, and you've hit the limit. If you want to use SU to promote your website, visit stumbleupon.com/ads [stumbleupon.com/ads] and pay for a sponsored site.

That's not true at all. I review a lot of sites, way more than just my own.

you have 13 - 11 from one domain and 2 from another. reviews, not thumbs up.

You've got just over a page of reviews on your profile. As DSC501 pointed out, all but two are from your own site. He is correct, I'm afraid. Not much you can do about it. Them's the rules :)

Sorry, I didn't understand the difference between thumbs up and reviews. I wasn't trying to be a spammer.

For clarity: a rating has two components - a thumbs-up (or down), and an optional review.

SU has a so-called "posting limit" which is designed to discourage the over-promotion of a single domain (which can result in a degradation of stumble-quality) and also to prevent breaches of our terms, which forbid the use of personal accounts for the purpose of promoting a business, product or service.

The terms are here: stumbleupon.com/terms.html [stumbleupon.com/terms.html]

Can this post or one like it be a sticky? People are asking this same question at least once a day.

9: Sadly, as you are aware, we lack such a facility. I'll craft an FAQ, which you might bookmark.

A more permanent resolution might be an error message that better informed the party concerned that they have reached a limit, of sorts, and guide them to further information. I have requested such a solution.
