Lively Persimmon:
Hello, I am an article writer and I haven't written articles in some time thus I am a bit hazy with the writing and review process to date.

I'll message you. :)

You can access the draft via the "Articles" tab on your profile now. :)

Hi admins!

Just curious. Are the expired claims still able to be written or not?

Hello!

I have written 2 articles before. So, can I get an article draft for an UFG to Yang Zi?

If your claim appears on the "expired claims" list: You can still write and submit it BUT if someone else has claimed it in the meantime, their article will have priority and yours won't be published. (Check the article overview before deciding to pick it back up.)

If you're interested in writing a topic from the "expired claims" list: You can just claim the topic, these are available unless they also show up on the article overview.

You've apparently never been the main writer before, so you have no articles assigned to you. We can't, sorry. :/

i can access all of them though, maybe it's a glitch from your side?

does it work?

i cant access neither my article from 2018: https://mydramalist.com/article/7-1-kbs-drama-specials-you-should-watch-0113182238

nor some other older articles i found links to, such as this one https://mydramalist.com/article/look-into-the-exciting-world-of-japanese-dramas-of-winter-2020-011014041

or this one: https://mydramalist.com/article/the-japanese-horror-movies-of-2019-011014117?fbclid=IwAR0UTSb2yHrXSSIoniaEsjPczTWgAJ5dFPe5GI6yRnPeeA9MW_zsKJUk8KQ

https://mydramalist.com/article/upcoming-2019-manga-adaptations-011012994?fbclid=IwAR1YAClkN8KDn6uGWG02WjZv1am1Vudxg0K6oV6izT1GWqWzv72c6_z17So

The error i get is:

"An error was encountered

You can see this page because the URL you are accessing cannot be found." (https://imgur.com/a/Uwn9oe2)

i even went to check if the articles were acessible from peoples profile and it was impossible. (im sure for example Old Anime Lady has written articles before february 2020. i cant see it there.)

Neither there seem to exist articles older that feb 2020 when i go through article archive: the furthest it takes me is page 120. 121 doesnt exist: https://imgur.com/a/INOt3L4

i tried different browsers etc, too...

Hello!

I don't think it's a problem on your side. It might be a bug on the site. I can't access them either, and I've got the same message.

Can you please report it on the support forum (maybe all your post above could help), so that the admin can see it? it's safer to post on the support forum on that matter.

Thank you!

No she's right, you can't access articles previous february 2020. MDL has published articles since 2012 or 2013 I think, so that's strange. I think the ones you can open were published since 2020.
