Speaking of which, would it be possible for the other addresses with which we can access Apolyton (www.apolyton.net and the standard IP address) to redirect to apolyton.net just as moo3.net does. That would be good.

I can't get to upload a file using the upload feature.

The file is 1.6Mb and while it seems to work at first it always says "Document contains no data" in Firefox (1.0.3) or gives a site unavailable error in IE 6 after some time. My connection is not the fastest I know.. but this timeout is ridiculous.
How can I get to upload that thing?

Opera 8 almost immediately tells me:

Request Entity Too Large
The requested resource
/upload/index.php
does not allow request data with POST requests, or the amount of data provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit.

The file is a zip and is exactly 1,711,605 bytes large.

I tried with a smaller file (50kb) and it worked. Just this one will not want to upload.

There seems to be a bug whereby Solver never does anything to warrant his interview chief title.

Oh, wait, it is not a new bug.

[Solver]

My title says "...of something" and I do indeed do something .

[DrSpike]

Not that title.

Argghh now I split the zip file up into parts of 500kb each (with 700kb it wouldn't upload them as well), but I still cannot upload them because now .z01 is not a supported extension!! aaaaaaaaaaaaa how much more stupid can this get!?!!

Okay... after manually creating 4 different zip files with each under 500kb I could finally upload them.
I still wonder why the limit is 500kb and not 5MB as stated on same page? Maybe there is a 0 missing?

Directory files don't download (though that may just be because the hosted sites are still down).

Well, let us know when you do

I've noticed this too. Is it because the server adjusts for daylight saving based on it's location? If so, why doesn't the server use UTC and makes adjustments from there.

Is the report news link broken? I reported a possible news item a couple of days ago, about Soren Johnson answering and commenting on Civ4 over at the Civ4 forum, but didn't get any reply as I've got before, and I haven't seen it mentioned in the news either.

1) Yes, still down.
2) It was an extremely tiny tidbit (or rather 2 extremely tiny tidbits), I considered it and even tried writing a news item but there wasn't really enough info. Note *every* single post by a game designer is worthy of its own news item

[Nikolai]

No, I know that. My report was basically meant as a question whether the function worked, and the Soren part was just additional info in case it was seen as interesting enough.

we are having the same hassle in the Civ III Demo Game - Rome

all saves are over 500kb now

any ideas on a fix for this

Also the strange thing is that Opera knows immediately, before the upload, that the file is too large, but IE and Firefox try some time nevertheless.

Premonition is the new Opera feature.
