I have been trying to upload a pdf file to my rootschat webspace, I have uploaded it five times and it seems to upload Ok but on completion nothing shows in the folder, any ideas why this should be?

Hi Colin,

Welcome to RootsChat  Smiley Smiley

if that number is right (3.291 MB), then the answer is simply that the file is way tooooo big !!

The maximum upload file size is 1 MB.
The limit for jpegs is 1 MB, for gifs is 1 MB and for HTML or Text files is 0.5 MB."

My guess is that the webspace software doesn't return an error message "File too big", but just doesn't load it.

Sorry,
Bob

Thanks Bob, I will rethink my strategy, thought that may be the case.

Come to think of it, Bob, as you are allowing 50MB of space, a GEDCOM of 1MB is a bit small, isn't it? Could you keep the graphics file sizes down at that level, but increase the GEDCOM limit (1MB is probably about 4000 "plain" entries)
