I'm not sure if this really belongs in Bugs or Feature Requests, but I'm putting it here.

If you complete challenges when offline and then connect to CaravelNet and upload scores, you don't get credit for the challenges on the Challenges page. I would expect this to work more or less the same way it does for scores.

As far as I know the demos for challenges are recorded, at least in the latest version. Aren't these demos uploaded too when you upload scores? Probably needs to be checked.

Demos are recorded (at least, based on default settings) but they aren't uploaded. Right now a challenge is only acknowledged by the server at the moment you obtain it, including if you restore to a point before getting the challenge and then get it again.

I played for a few months before getting a new subscription and I noticed this when I tried to get my last few challenges for KDD 2.0 on the challenge list.

(Slightly related, the challenge list still isn't linked anywhere easily accessible; I either have to type in the URL or go to one of the threads where it's mentioned, as opposed to being able to click somewhere on the forum to see it.)

Anyone able to check this to see if it's still a problem? If needed I can delete one or two achievements from your profile.

I've been having to redo challenges when I upload scores for holds I've HA'd. Can probably explicitly check it in a few hours.

Ok, so I did the challenge for Chance for Paradise: Unstable Sewer: 2N1W: The Mimic Before Beethro offline and I have a challenge and victory demo that I can try to upload whenever.

Thanks! I investigated it and it's something it appears we can fix on the server, so I'll tell you once we have it deployed so you can test it.

This was fixed on the server side, but would be great if others could confirm it indeed works.

I'm doing it by clicking "Upload" on the Demos screen. I am using the current DROD version, not any beta build.

I uploaded the "Challenge Complete" demo and now the challenge has been awarded. huzzah!

Here's one that's not working for some reason. It's the TSS one where you report back to Arky after completing all his rooms. (Master Arky-tect)

Upload all scores didn't award the challenge, nor did uploading the demo individually.

It's a slight inconvenience as I'll have to work out which Arky room I did last and restore from there.

Arky challenge demo is still a thing. One thing I thought of is that it's a room without high scores, so that might be affecting things.

I still haven't bothered to work out which was the last room solved so I could reget the challenge manually.
