What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Publishing

Steps to Reproduce

Upload thumbnails to a test project (“Time Bomb Tag Duels”) on an old Creator Portal account.

Delete/remove those thumbnails from the project on the old account.

Log into a new Creator Portal account and attempt to upload the same thumbnails to publish a project.

Observe that the main thumbnail returns “thumbnail is taken” and the additional thumbnails return “similar to others”.

Expected Result

Removing the thumbnails from the old account should clear them from the database, allowing the new account to upload and publish with them without error messages.

Observed Result

The main thumbnail is blocked with the error “thumbnail is taken”, and the additional thumbnails are blocked with “similar to others”, preventing the project from being published on the new account.

Platform(s)

Chrome and Firefox

Additional Notes

Note: I am submitting this ticket from the old account where the thumbnails were originally tested. Please clear or reset the asset lock for these thumbnails from this account’s history so I can publish my island on my new account.

I’ll see if I can find an address for you to report creator portal issues, in the meantime, we’ll get someone to take a look.
