When I upload my SVG file, size 277kb, I get this message in the end "fall.svg Unable to upload file". When I upload it using flash plugin the process goes normally, and file is uploaded, but it doesn't appear in my files. The same with ftp. I already have few svg files uploaded, but I never had this problem. What I did wrong?

Hmm.... I have 4 files with very simple shaper, and no fonts. So I am curious what's wrong....

To be honest, I uploaded only 4 vectors before, last spring. So I don't remember how I did it then, but now I did next:
I made them in AI and saved as:
SVG profile 1.1
fonts: SVG
Images location: Embed
CSS properties: Presentation attribute
Decimal places: 3
Encoding: Unicode (UTF-8)
Output fewer <tspan> elements is checked

My files don't contain any fonts or open paths, don't contain transparency. Contain only simple shapes, gradients and simple fills

No...three uploaded, and one left.... One file I cannot upload. ... Am I chatting with myself here??

solved. I checked fonts: adobe CEF

I did a bit of an experiment with svg files a couple of months ago on fotolia. I uploaded all my files as svg for 3 months (files created within that period) to see if it made a difference in sales, and the answer is NO!

I realise that you get more if the file is downloaded as a vector but the extra time and effort needed to convert the files and manually keyword out ways the benefits. I am quite surprised that it didnt help boost sales but I guess that maybe people are confused about the SVG format or are just not interested in needing an editable file.

If the svg format/fotolia support IPTC data in the future I might reconsider uploading svg's

I was doing the same thing, and actually saw a boost in sales so I've kept at it with SVGs. Now of course I can't say for certain that the boost is all because of the SVGs, but the timing does coincide with then I switched over to the SVGs at Fotolia. And I've worked them into my uploading/keywording workflow pretty well, so it doesn't take much more time to upload SVGs. I usually have a few browser windows open during uploads, so I just do the Fotolia SVG upload in one window and then just copy/paste the keywords from another open window. It all adds maybe 20-30 seconds to my whole process to save out an SVG and paste the keywords.
