Failed: Unknown Reason HELPIEZ
I know that a lot of other people are having problems with this message, and today was my first encounter with it.
If so, how do you get your project uploaded to the site? Do you have to wait for it, or just do some fancy stuff in the Squeak System Memory?

Sometimes not compressing helps, but mostly I just repeatedly upload.

Re: Failed: Unknown Reason HELPIEZ
That error message only came up on a computer running Vista for me. It never happens on all other computers I've used with a different OS but I found away (for me anyway) to upload it. What I do is save the project, close Scratch, open Scratch and try upload it again. Most of the time it works.

My site Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

Re: Failed: Unknown Reason HELPIEZ
I usually get that message when there's a problem with my connection.
I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>Offline

Floating Magic Tree is encountering this problem while he uploads it, so he's gone through and filled out the application and everything is correct. But when he starts uploading it, it shows the "Failed: Unknown Reason" message.

Re: Failed: Unknown Reason HELPIEZ
Maybe they should test out uploading on the gamma site before they add changes to the actual site. 
@Fire: I would try on my PDA but I have so many things to check every day I wouldn't get through all of them.

Have you had trouble with this problem in the past? I see you have a lot of projects on your My Stuff area so it must have been working before. Can you isolate the problem to a particular project or a particular computer? Have you tried sharing from an account with Admin privs?

That's an interesting thing...do you think Windows 7 might be the cause of the problem? Do you have other computers on the same network with a different OS that are successful? Did you upgrade to 7 recently...and was it working well before you upgraded?

Re: Failed: Unknown Reason HELPIEZ
If your Operating Vista you might whant to try this (it worked for me)
1. Run in Admistrator Mode
2 Add Scratch to the D.E.P
(click control panel, hit system and maintanance, hit system, on the left you should see a place that says Advanced System Settings, Click it, Go to the advanced tab, hit the Preformance's settings, Hit the DEP tab, see the bottom and hit add, go to the scratch root folder and add the apllication)
Still Comfused, I will post a how to on youtube (just ask)

same thin with me! i have vista and it most of the time says failed: nknown reason. one project does it all the time. i close out and restart and it still does it. i tried uploading it 14 times! but when i do it on another computer,without vista, it works!
