Status Bar

I wish someone would put a status bar on here to monitor your uploads, it sure would prevent hitting that submit button a couple of times....just a suggestion.

If you are using Internet Explorer, just go to "view" and check "statusbar". Then, when you hit the submit button, at least you will be able to see if the upload started, even if it does get to the end quite quickly.

Princess ^Hirmer, you really shouldn't hit the submit button more than one time....

It can be especially slow if you are on a dial-up connection...

I feel your pain, Princess... I remember when I was only able to connect at 24k (lived in the city - crappy phone lines..)

It was -never- fun downloading service packs for Windows, or updates for my BSD system...

21.6......... that's worse than my connection.

Try to make your file size as small as possible, and that will help. Most of all be patient, it will take a while to upload, and hitting the submit button more than once, will just make it worse.

The file has to be a jpg image or it won't upload. I think an error show but not sure.
