Problems publishing...

meshie · 2nd July 2001, 00:22

I'm having problems publishing my skin. I followed all the instructions and whatnot, but it keeps saying there's an "unknown" error. Is anyone else having this problem?

anyone? =/

Okay, this is exactly the error that comes up:

"An unknown error occured while trying to insert your component into our database."

A little vague, no? I put it in .wsz format and everything, and I've submitted it like 15 times with that same error occuring. Geez I'm afraid it's going to show up 15 times, and I'm sure that'll piss people off.

Anyone have any idea what it could be?

What is the name of the file you are trying to submit?, sometimes the file name length can cause the database to crap out, or do you have any characters in the file name other than letters and numbers , any !"£&()_-:{ etc etc?

They also will cause it to crap out.

Please provide a bit more information, and hopefully we'll get you published in no time

My file name is Leaf_Amp.wsz. Hmm.. what else can I tell you..? is there a certain size that it has to be, or a certain length the filename has to be? And it didn't post 15 times did it?

I think they just don't like me 'cos I'm a leafs fan.

sweet! I just tried again and there was no error.. thanks anyways Mr. Jones!

Okay, now in my profile thingy where it says what components I've added, it's listed under "unpublished" and shows my skin and caption and everything. So that means it will soon be published once it's processed and everything?
