Something wrong with the Lycos Upload Sites. I tried uploading 2 different GIFs that were 212k & 341k.

http://members.lycos.co.uk/hhahscreens (screenshots for this site only)
After I browse, select, & click submit, all I get is 'You didn't upload a file'. WTF?

http://members.lycos.co.uk/hhahscreens2 (screenshots for this site only - option 2, use it every so often, should reduce bandwidth if you alternate)
Same as above^.

Says no longer available.

your files too big, how can you have a screenshot that's so big????

there is a restriction on the filesize to prevent people posting junk. I suggest just registering your own ftp space @ lycos and then ftping in :)

Too big? the page says files need to be under 500k, which they were. Anyways, I'll look into getting my own space.

I'm not lazy. I'm already signed up on Lycos, but I can't figure out from their screwed up web page, how to set-up/upload files.

And why does Lycos UK require a Java Pop-Up window to register? It's taking forever to register. Must be cause I'm from 'The States'.

Webpage design is such a crappy field now. It's as F'ed up as advertising in general.
