FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

Below is a list of the most frequently asked questions. If that's not enough please drop us a mail.

Q: What is Kiteatlas.com? A: Please find a description of the site in the 'about' page.
Q: How can i add my spot, blog or other content? A: Simply click on the 'add content' button on the right (clicking on 'add content' in the right sidebar navigation has the same effect). You will get all the content types you can submit to the site. Click then on 'Spot' to get to the spot submission. Remember to register first.

Q: A spot detail is not correct, can i edit it? A: Kiteatlas is an open guide where every rider is a welcome contributor. Yes, if you are a registered member, you will see an 'edit' tab link right below the spot name title (the orange title on top of page). Click on it and post your changes. They will be submitted for revision and verification, and published if they add trustable informations for that spot.

Q: I've updated / edited a spot but it hasn't changed...Why? A: Every time a spot is edited by a user, a new revision is created and submitted for moderation to check that the changes are reliable. Once approved, the revision will be published replacing the outdated version (usually this happens in 1-2 working days). Please don't try editing the same spot more than once in few minutes, as your previous changes will not be reflected yet and you'll end submitting many revisions of the same current version of that spot! You can read revisions of spots (yours included) by going to the spot page and clicking the 'REVISIONS' tab (only if revisions are present).

Q: I keep getting the warning: "No post with that title can be referenced" when i try to submit my content. A: This happens because the spot you are referencing to does not exhist yet. Please add your home spot first, and then associate it to the content (school, event,..) you want to submit.

Q: I cannot find the content i just submitted. Why? A: All contents when submitted go through a moderation process by the editorial staff. This to ensure that only high quality contents get published on the site. During this period (usually 1 working day) the content might not be visible. Contents not pertinent with the subject of this site, misleading informations and of course spam and bad taste contents will be removed from the site.
