Uploading Troubles

Uploading Troubles

We are aware of some issues with uploading, and are working on them now.

 

Update:

Please use this thread to report uploading issues specifically.  Please be as detailed as possible in your description, and include a screenshot if you think it will be helpful.

 

Update #2:

All skins are going into moderation at the moment regardless of user level.  This is being addressed.

Ya know Hankers, Steppenwolf wrote a great song about you.....


You know, I've seen a lot of people walkin' 'round
With tombstones in their eyes
But the pusher don't care
Ah, if you live or if you die

(The Pusher - 1968)

Thanks Hankers, for pushing....now, If I edit the misformatted text, will it go to moderation?

If so, will you be there, waiting? Can you have someone on the other side pulling too...lol!

If you update the description it will go to moderation. The mods do check the queue's but it would make it easier if you posted the name of the upload and which gallery it belongs to. If something gets stuck 'in processing' then we have to go hunting. Having the name and gallery will speed that process up.

That makes sense, and is easy enough to comply with. Thanks.

My problem may be a bit off topic, but here goes. Sometimes during a skin upload when I click on my Documents folder to find the Preview or the Skin to upload, IE8 informs me that it has closed the application due to what it perceives as a threat to my computer. The upload usually works ok on the 2nd or sometimes the 3rd attempt. It's probably an issue with IE8, but as it never used to happen with the old WC site, I thought I'd mention it. Aaaah the old WC site... :')

Jim...did you see my post on how to manually put the line break code in?

uploading updates of old skins brings about the update being uploaded as a 'new skin' instead of updating the old skin, i now have 2 versions of steampunk sysmetrix when I was trying to update the old one. this also happened with my wildstar wb. i lost alot of nice comments from people i really cherish..... please look into this.

No, but they seem to have it fixed, for new uploads. I had to edit some of the old/new uploads.  Thanks tho. :beer:

There appears to be something going on with uploads. The upload goes through fine but folks are reporting errors on trying to download with invalid links. I thought it was just me but apparently others are having the same issue. Could someone confirm?

Without further information (link(s) to skins having reported problems) it would be like the proverbial needle-in-the-haystack.  If you believe there are problematic download links then specify which one's.

I got your email and I have reuploaded previously today but it still does not work and now is no longer in the gallery. I will reupload now, have resaved and rezipped to a smaller file size but when I editted earlier it went into moderation and was not available for a couple of hours.

The zip file is still corrupt.  Retry uploading one more time and leave the '#' out of the file name.  Just use letters and numbers in the file name.

Thanks

Frankief; are you aware that the download for the matching logon is also broken.

Reply #44 Top

It may be using a '#' in the file name.  I have pulled the logon as well and a re-upload without using a '#' in the file name should tell if that is the issue.

Hey Hankers, I believe it was but that would be Island Dogs fault as per the summer skin contest upload rules

"Uploads must be tagged with #summer10 (example: Summer wallpaper #summer10)"

Reply #46 Top

I'm not looking to put the blame on anyone.  Just trying to get bad links fixed.  It's possible that a '#' could be used in a file name by not having any spaces included.  At this point the removal of the '#' in the name has fixed a logon.

Thank you Hankers for your help. Apparently renaming the files worked as I am now able to download both Wall and LV. GuessI.D. will have to change his rules for the contest!

regarding steampunk, i just edited the old skin again (yesterday actually) and replaced the old zip file with the new zipfile it requires as I was asked to add a battery meter.  As I explained before, I now have 2 steampunk sysmetrix skins, i still would like to have the 'new steampunk' which was supposed to be an update of the old skin, not a completly new skin deleted. and as i also said before, i lost alot of comments and downloads with this same issue with wild star. Im not going through that again.

Hankers, i dont think that your idea of deleting the old skin (with all the downloads and comments) is a solution I want to take, I dont even consider it a solution.  Why should I have to sacrifice personal comments and download numbers because something is not right with the upload system? sorry, I just dont want to do that.
