so I was wondering what the upload size restrictions are on textadventures.co.uk. if there are any. Just curious because I recently tried uploading a version of RotSM and it didn't seem to be working at all.
I know it says:
"When you click the "Upload" button below, please leave your browser to upload the file, even if doesn't seem to be doing anything. You will see a confirmation message when your file has been successfully uploaded."
Even with that being said though it seems to not be loading at all. I think it might be due to the size of the upload because of my resource files (music and pictures). Once I removed them from the zip folder and uploaded only the games asl file it worked fine.

I probably should implement a more modern file uploader which will give some feedback, because a normal file upload doesn't give you any indication that it's doing anything.
As a workaround I can manually add large games for you if you submit them via some other means.

Moving on though, you say you could possibly add it if I submit it via other means..? Would you be able to add it if I uploaded it to mediafire and sent you the download link via e-mail?
Thanks for getting back so quickly by the way Alex. I've told you before and I'll say it again, Quest rocks!

Thanks Alex, I just sent the e-mail with the link to the zip file containing the games asl file and resource files. Also I included the walk-through so you could see about fixing the "play online" feature with my game.
