Can't Upload A Project!

I'd say I'm an advanced Scratcher, who has made a lot of hugely scripted games. I've been uploading games like normal for a while, and they were about 33 MB each, but now all of a sudden, it won't let me upload a game that's 10 MB! Did the site have a change which now only lets it upload up to 10 MB? If this is true, I would be very sad since I will not be able to upload my games. Please help, guys. It makes no sense since just about yesterday I uploaded a game to the the site which was 33 MB, and today I cannot. Please Reply, Guys!

Re: Can't Upload A Project!

That doesn't make any sense.  The limit is, and has always been, 10 MB.   hmm   Are you sure it wasn't 3 MB?

Could you link to the 33 MB project?

Oh Wait a Second, it says it is 33MB on my PC, but it is 6.6 MB on the website. This makes no sense!

Re: Can't Upload A Project!

Maybe it was compressed during the upload?  The site limit has always been 10 MB. 

You can ask for more compression under the Edit-Compress Sounds and Edit-Compress Images options, but I believe that some compression is always applied.

See Paddle2See's post.  The stuff got compressed (made smaller).
