    Exclamation Notice to uploaders....

    To all,

    Please stop using commas in the file name when you upload under any circumstances. There’s no problem in the description or even the title, but if it’s in the file name, Google Chrome and FireFox don’t like it, and the file won’t download properly.

    It’s the second time in a week.

    Gee, Wonder if it's not a good idea to use commas in the file name?

    Interesting since the file name is supposed to be the same as the zipfile name. Maybe a typo when entering the zipfile name and hitting the wrong key. Aside from that it seems the file wouldn't download at all since it wouldn't be recognized. Curious.

    Ed,

    Often they are, but there have been a couple of instances in the past week where people have inserted commas into the filename. If you leave the "rename" section blank, it will use the "name" listing by default. But it has been an issue on occasion, and when I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off between work, grad school, leg bandage changes, and the fatherly duties of herding and managing four kids, the less complications I have in my life, the better.
