Q: How long before my project appears on the
forum? |
A: All projects are first reviewed by the forum
moderator for
appropriateness and image optimization.
Assuming all is well, projects
should appear in one business day. If images
need to be optimized for the
web, this could delay the posting of the
project by a minimum of several
days. |
Q: I'm trying to upload a file and
it is taking a long time. How long should
it take to upload files? |
A:
If you are using dial-up internet access,
your files may take awhile to
upload... please be patient. Text files
typically upload quickly. All other
files, and especially video files, may take
several minutes or longer. |
|
Q:
I am getting an error when I try to upload
my files. |
|
A:
Most times this error is happening because
the file(s) you are attempting to upload are
too large. We ask that you only upload
files that are smaller than 10MB. If
you need to reduce the filesize of a video
clip, we have provided XSplit for this
purpose. [
