I just made a scratch animation (my first one =]), on my laptop, and its connection is very good. Yet still whenever i try to post a animation it says "failed: unknown reason". WHY?!?!?! My brother posted a TON of animation, and he never got this problem. I asked him and he doesnt know whats up.
... could someone give me a little help?

Congratulations on your first animation! If you just tried to upload and it didn't work it is possible that is caused by our move to a new server.
There are two options to get this fixed.
1. Wait. You can wait a few days until the move the new server gets finalized and the two domains names get unified.
2. Set the server name temporarily. For this you need to create a text file in the same folder where Scratch lives and call it servers.txt. The content of the file should be the following three elements using tab in between them:
*share* scratch.media.mit.edu /services/upload
Close and open Scratch and it will work now. In a few days, once the server is working you will need to remove the servers.txt file.
As you can see option 2 is a bit complicated. So I'd rather wait a few days.
Sorry for the problems. It's for a good reason, to have a better server :-)

I'm having problems uploading too.
I created an account, created my project, and clicked "upload". It goes through the "preparing project" phase, and when the progress bar is almost finished, it hangs on the "Data sent. Waiting for response" phase, before displaying an error.
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

Sorry for the problems. Our server was rejecting projects over 2 MB. It now accepts projects as large as 10 MB... but try to keep your projects smaller than that. One way to make smaller projects is to compress the images and/or sounds using the commands in the Extras menu.
Scratch on!

I have this problem, too.
I can't speak good english.
I'm from luxembourg.
I can speak:(lux;germany;franc.)
What can I still make apart to compress the images and sounds?

Ok, so I understand I had to "wait for response" forever when it was 12 MB, but then I made it 7 Mb, and it still kept me waiting, now it's 6 MB and still no luck. How long does it ussually take? Is there something else that makes me wait forever?
Any thing else I might try?
I'll keep messing around with it in the mean time.
BTW I'm Dutch so I learned to speak a little bit french and a little bit German in school. I could try to help you out, but I can't give you any guarantees. (didn't know Luxembourg had it's own language).
Edit: nevermind, it works now, strange it didn't work earlier.
