Project will not upload over old version. Can only upload new project
If I try to upload over an old version of my project with the same name, it acts like it is working, but the newer version does not get uploaded. If I upload the project with a different name that does not exist yet, it works fine. It used to work fine, but I am recently having this problem. I know it is not because I did not clear my cache, because the new version does not show up even if I clear my cache or look at the project with a completely different computer. Anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas?
Thanks!

Be sure your browser's cache memory is being cleared...it may be storing the old version in cache which explains why you are seeing it instead of the updated version. I always exit my broswer and then restart it when I update a project. For my broswer, that clears the cache and I then see the new version.

This used to be the case that I needed to clear my cache. But now when I reopen the browser, the new version is still not there. I even checked it with a completley different computer and it is still showing the old version. So I know the new version is not uploading for some reason. Any suggestions??

I don't know what browser you are using...but I have heard that some browsers can be set to keep the cache even though you shut it down and restart it. So it could still be a cache problem. You may have to explore your setting on your browser and look for one that "clears internet files" or something along those lines.
The fact that you are seeing the problem on two separate computers is disturbing though...unless they are running the same browser with the same settings ???

Thank you for the ideas, it helped me brainstorm. I actaully figured out that just the one project was corrupt and was not uploading properly. I believe it was corrupt because I imported a Sprite from my old project that had the same name of a Sprite I already had in my new project. I had to change the name of the Sprites that had the same name and then export all my Sprites and Backgrounds. Then I loaded them into a completley new project. This seemed to shake the corruption and now the project will upload properley. Thanks!
