Uploading Documents to a group

• 

  Posted by Kelly Baker Josephs on February 7, 2011 at 9:41 pm

  I and another group member have been having trouble loading documents to our group. He tried a PDF on Sunday and I tried a word doc today from two computers. I’m not sure what error message he got, but I keep getting a red bar across the page that says “There was a problem saving your file, please try again.” I could post the same doc to the forum. Anyone else having difficulty or able to tell me what’s going on? Another group member uploaded documents just fine on Saturday.

  Hi Kelly,

  I’m sorry that you’re group is experiencing difficulties uploading documents. I was able to upload a PDF earlier today to one of my groups without any problems. Does your/his file have any dashes, apostrophes, ect? If so, you might consider renaming the file on your computer and trying again. If you’re still unable to upload the document, please reply to this post and I will create a ticket for you on our bug-tracking system.

  Best,

  Sarah

  Hi Sarah. Thanks for your speedy reply. No, no dashes, etc. Just “English programs at CUNY.doc”, the same doc went up fine on the forum. I’ve attached a pic of the error message here (in case that helps).

  Thanks,
  Kelly

  Hi Matt,

  I am also having this problem with a recently created group: http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/art-film/?n=1

  I have tried to upload a document in multiple formats (mov, pdf, docx) to no avail — I am getting the red bar with the error message. There are no dashes or other punctuation in the file name.

  Best,
