Hello Dedicated Guides.

After deliberation and some research on my own I come to you with a somewhat trivial dilemma.

My concern is the tally when I’m on my profile and click “ see all my reviews”. The upvotes are not being tallied. (Under badges another observation is the facts checked verify 3 edits - has not moved although I have verified several edits)

Reviews •ratings •helpful votes •views

The bottom line is when I search my area on maps ie my home base where I’ve have been an active maps user, I can see my reviews at particular establishments. They show my upvotes. ( I might add the votes are there sometimes and then sometimes they are not).

My apologies if this is a simple answer - If have done something out of the rules, which I believe I have not-because I’m enjoying the Guides and plan to be very active since I do travel and appreciate what the guides has been developed

I hoping there is a way to determine if there is a glitch or virus or something negative happening to my account.

Thank you for your help I truly appreciate your hard earned wisdom and guidance.

I have tried a few tests; deleting app then reloading app. Turning off all settings the turning them back on.

I’m at the point where I may just stop contributing to maps for a month or so, which was one of the options offered in previous discussions on connect. This is not my wish.

@MortenCopenhagen

Thank you.

Hi there!

I’m Level 8 and yesterday I saw that, for whatever reason, my last comment wasn’t published as one of the photos “didn’t follow the rules”. And they are just pizza photos… :sweat_smile:

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance!!

Where would I be able to find the current challenges?

@CruisingKristen , the answer to your question is on the main post: “It’s simple! Be on the lookout for posts from Googlers and Google Moderators that have the word “challenge” in the title.”

There are not challenges running in Connect in this moment, so just keep joining Connect to see when a challenge will be published.

@JBknyc , @MarionaPB , as your request is not related to the topic of this post, most probably you will not receive an answer here.

Please explore connect to see that we already have a lot of conversation ongoing about that subject and, if you need, just writing your own post so that we will be able to respond in there. Thank you

I recently had my phone literally destroyed and all of my information regarding my local guides awards and everything pertaining to my account was lost. I want to know how to recover this valuable information as well as recover my status at the level I was standing.

@jbernard3-16 Do you have the login information to your GMail account? All your information should be backed up there for all the Google services, including Maps.
