What type of file are you uploading, and how big is it? Once I know I can do some tests.

Using this POST REPLY box I go to the list button on the right (upload),
follow the instructions on the popup box and browes to the required file - noting max size restrictions "Files must be of the type, zip, rar, pdf, and have a maximum file size of 2000KB".

Several times tried uploading jpgs & PDF files and always get this error.

OK, we'll work it out. Can you try uploading a image. A JPG file. If you get the error, try resizing the file down to something like 600 pixels wide and try again. Let me know what happens.

OK think its fixed, there was a bug in the code that uploads files.

Use the File Upload button to upload PDF's or Zips. Images can only be uploaded with the Image Upload button.

Thanks for pointing out the problem.
