Mp3 Will Not Upload...

[Gaccha]

I want to upload a 9mb MP3 (it is about 12 min long of audio). I have tried to upload around 20 times.

I have ensured the problems of uploading are not on my side of the fence; I have checked the codecs of the MP3. It is normal. I then 'cleaned' the MP3 by 'converting' it back into an MP3 (from MP3 to MP3). This usually works to kill off all buggy aspects of it. The file is of course ".mp3". The Forum should just accept the uploaded file.

Please can you check there is not some problem with the Forum uploads. When it fails to upload it always says: "You did not select a file to upload".

I am getting awfully exasperated.

In case it was just a short term problem I aborted after 17 tries yesterday. But today it is still not working....

Thanks iin advance.

just testing if MP3 will up-load.

appears to have uploaded.

Edit: just tested it and yes the up-load went through okay.

Try to insert it into the text editor after up-load is complete.

Tried and tried and nothing.

So I split the file in two. And it seems to have worked...

So the lesson from this is: any more than 7mb and it might get bounced despite the 20mb limit.

You can see the end result in the "Thai language" forum.
