Trying to upload a couple of pdfs. Done one, but the other refuses to upload.

I remember Keith managed to upload one when I couldn't, so is there a volunteer to have a bash at uploading for me if I email them the file?

Thanks Tony.

Other than being computer illiterate, any idea why I couldn't up load it?

Just tried to add links to the manuals page and neither file works!

Same problem as before, they part load and then stop ... what is it with me and pdfs?

It's late so I'm off to bed.

Appreciate any help any one can offer ... Keith, what did you do the last time this issue came up?

I don't know, I didn't do anything different to you, just uploaded as normal.

But I am local to the server - maybe it's a connectivity issue between it and you? Maybe after a certain time of uploading the server times out (on the LAN, it's fast of course).

Can you open the files on the manuals page?

The ML one doesn't load - link might be wrong?

Julian · « **Reply #9 on:** April 13, 2012, 02:38:41 AM »

MS won't open for me ... after a long wait I get a message saying the file is damaged, and with the ML I get a 404 message. I've noticed the symbol at the end of the ML file is different. But even if I try and open the ML file from the file page (http://www.biopowered.co.uk/wiki/File:Mono_MM_and_ML_Manual.pdf), it still won't work!

Hovering over the ML link the address bar at the bottom showed a couple of symbols after "pdf" which didn't show in edit mode! so deleting part of the url and retyping seems to have fixed that.

Even so both files still load about 400-500 KB and freeze for me.

I'm stumped!

I've tried from work and it loads OK. Anyone else having PDF troubles?

I just tried the link and opened fine for me.

Thanks Ross and Tony.

It must be something screwy with my PC then!

I'm struggling to upload a picture now. I've tried every combination i can think of to upload it on the special upload page, but it looks like its done it, then when I come to look for it, its not there. Any ideas? Ta.
