can't add attachment torrent file

[Dubwise12]

Strangely when I am trying to create an upload, when I go to the manage attachments to load the torrent files it will not work. Everytime I click the upload button it acts like it is going to work normal but then boom it goes black right before that torrent files is uploaded. I rebooted my machine and nothing seems to work. Any ideas would be appreciated.

maybe clearing the cache of your browser will help

more expert advice is sure to follow...

I don't know where the cache clearing button is in the options of mozilla firefox?

ctrl+sft+del and just check the box that says cache then push 'clear private data now'

[Dubwise12]

OK i cleared the cache but still the same problem.

worth a shot

sorry to say I'm stumped for the moment.

help is on the way

You are the second person to say that today. Let me see if I can understand this better.

You go to the upload page and you see the Manage Attachments button, right?

Now you click it, and what do you see then? Does the box pop-up? Does it give you an error message?

Also, try doing a Force Refresh of each page - the upload page and the attachments pop-up - and see if that fixes it (on a mac that is shift + refresh, I think it is the same on a PC).

The Box pops open, I select browse to pick my torrent file. when I select the upload button, then it tries to load the file but it just goes blank (white) and says at bottom "done".

OK, good news is that I can get it to do this same thing for me. Also, good news is I know what part of the code it doesn't like.

Bad news is it is in a part of the code that won't let me spit out debug information onto the screen. I'm way too tired to continue chasing this one, I've been at it since I last posted in this thread.

Can you wait for me to get back to work on this in the morning? Or, can you make a new username and try to upload that way? If you do that, then I can change the username on the thread tomorrow if you tell me what thread it is.

Hmmm, now I see you were able to finally upload it. I wonder what it is that 'resets' it so you may upload again? I don't suppose you know what you did?

This is a very weird one to have to chase down.

Because I was frustrated trying to upload the same torrent file over and over and it just going blank, I just randomly grabbed another torrent file from the past and it loaded it OK. So I figured maybe something was wrong with the first one I made, so I remade the torrent file and loaded it. It worked fine. Don't understand why but it worked. Thanks for you help in trying to figure out the problem U2lynne.

Same problem by me. I remade the torrent file but it doesn't work. Also other torrent files don`t work.

having same/similar issue...trying to upload a torrent, it didn't upload 5 or 6 times...i deleted it, rebuilt it and then i was able to attach it, but now when I click 'submit thread' my screen just refreshes itself (i.e. nothing happens)

??

Is there no message above where it says "Type of Show"? I do see a torrent on the tracker from you. Let me delete it and then maybe you can try again. Actually, you had the torrent up there twice. You may want to make a new torrent file after modifying the text file slightly and then it will get a different hash.

Oh, edit to add: Did you have a huge text file? Sometimes that will do what you are talking about - take you back to that screen with no error message. If you think it may be a large text file, just put a little bit of text in the text and/or fingerprints box and hit submit and then go back and edit the post after it submits.

weird...it isn't a large text file...i had the character '+' in the file names and torrent name and thought that might be a problem but renamed and rebuilt the torrent and having the same problem...just in case the text was too long i shortened it to almost nothing...same issue...

well, maybe fresh eyes and a fresh try will work. i'll have another go tomorrow...if you think of anything else I could try, please let me know...i'll start with an entirely new show tomorrow and see if I have luck.
