What to do if you get the "Unknown Reason" problem when sharing
Hello,
have you ever got the "Unknown reason" error at sharing? The share dialog says "Data sent. Waiting for response" for like one minute and then you get "Failed: Unknown Reason".
What to do:
It always fixes itself when you wait. Try waiting 10 minutes and then sharing again. If the error still occurs, wait one hour.
Why?
I don't know the reason, neither does the program ("Unknown Reason".) If someone knows the reason, feel free and post it here, then I'll add it.

I wonder if this method really works, because I've never met this error before.

I've heard it's usually just a burp somewhere in the connection, which would explain why waiting to let whatever kinks there are work themselves out would work.

I've never had to deal with this before, so I have no idea if it works, but I hope it does in case I do have to deal with it.

I get this error sometimes, when I do I just go to somewhere where the wireless connection is better*...(I use a laptop most of the time)and it works...I don't wait at all.
*From 2 bars say, to 5 bars...

I've had the problem a few times... I use wifi so maybe thats part of the problem? An inconsistent connection? Anyways, it always works out when I try it again.
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello!

It ALWAYS happens to me when I try to share something... and I don't use wireless.

I've seen this a lot recently, and have found that "unchecking" the "compress images and sounds" box will let the project upload. No idea why tho.
If I get the error, unchecking that box doesn't solve it...
