Title: problem with uploads today?
Post by: Microbius on January 11, 2011, 06:27

When I click the upload link I am getting sent to the front page again rather than to the upload page, anyone else?

thanks very much. I really shouldn't be surprised that things keep getting worse over there, but surely they have to hit bottom at some point?

I think generally its a good thing uploading isn't possible, as the general consensus is that it's inadvisable to upload anyway, given the current situation with lack of appearnce for recently approved files. Most people with an eye on the situation are holding off uploading anyway.

I thought that the site not functioning properly was a bad thing, but thank you for pointing out my unconscious bigotry towards IStock. I stand corrected.

actually, I uploaded last nite using Deepmeta and it worked fine, but have not tried it again this morning.  Guessing deepmeta already has the direct (work around) links set up.

Come on, look at the bright side. If everything would work smoothly it would just be too boring, wouldn't it?  :P
