The "Skills" section of the profile is so buggy.

Hello,

 

I've been having trouble with the "Skills" section of my profile for the last 3 days, whenever I delete a skill or move it or add a new one and hit "Save", when I refresh the profile nothing is changed! The old skills are still there.

 

I've tried removing the cache and cookies and still have the same issues.

 

Also sometimes when I add a new skill it won't even save and it will throw me this error message:

"There was an error loading this page: error [7347f2ac5ad994f4-LIS, 7347f2ac5ad994f4-LIS]. Contact Upwork Support for more information."

I have tried to edit the skills on my profile. It appears to work; but when I refresh it reverts back to what is was prior. Can't seem to locate the support ticket either. I've done it numerous times before; but seems ot have disappeared from Help & Support. 

 

Any ideas?

I'm trying to add and delete some of the skills listed on my profile, but I keep getting error messages. When I don't get the messages, it updates but then later reverts back to old skills. Must be a technical problem

The skill section is buggy. After selecting my new skills and saving, it goes back to what it initially was after refreshing the page. It's frustrating as many jobs I do require those skills as part of my qualifications

Hi Rohit,

 

I tried but wasn’t able to replicate the issue you’re describing. Could you please try using a different browser or the incognito mode of your current browser? You may also try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies. Also note that we only officially support the latest two versions of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari.

 

Thank you,

Hi!

I have tried to update skills in my freelance account. But When I refresh the page, it shows previous skills. I have changed my browser, reinstall Upwork app, clear the catch in the browser. But all in vain

Hi, community! I need help.

 

For 2 days I'm trying to change my skill list, and it's saving without any errors. But, right after refreshing the page, it's returned to the old skill list. I tried clearing cache and cookies and trying another browser (Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge), but nothing changed.

 

I've seen that someone had the same issues almost 2 months ago, is that still not fixed?

Hello,

 

When I'm trying to update my skills on my profile, the skills are updated, but when I refresh the page, it returns them. Any explanation about this?
