UnhappyI �ve tried to upload my online exercises, but I can �t. I feel very upset because I lost a lot of time for nothing. What am I doing wrong? It always appears an error message.

Hi again, dear Marina!
I �ve  had a bit of trouble too, and I got frustrated because I kept on writing and rewriting the details about the exercise over and over, for no reason!
 
It finally worked when I chose only under the "contents" the word "songs" (just under "Others") - and nothing else.
And I wrote absolutely nothing under "other topics/contents" (tags).
Try and see if it works. It worked for me.
Best of luck,
Aimee

Hi!Once I got an error message because, as it turned out, I had missed to fill in a box in the submission form. So make sure you fill in all the boxes in the submission form.
Good luck!

Hi, Nereis
 
I now something about it when you lose a day long hard work.
 
However, there are some precautions to take in case the uploading process does not work and it does not quite often. These are the drawbacks of the cyber-world.
 
First, you have to use MS Iexplorer to make your OE. No mozilla, no Opera.
Then, when you are making your OE just do as if you are working with MS Word, save your work evey now and then. To do so, you have  "New" , "Open" and "Save" bottons in the tools bar. These are the 3 first one. "New" for starting a new doc from the beginning. "Open" to open an already started but not finished one. "Save" to save the one you are working on. It works like in any program. Like this if the uploading process does not work when you click "submit" you can always start a new design page and click "Open" to open your saved OE and submit it another time without re-designing it from start until it passes.
 
 
Hope this could help.

Don �t use the apostrophe in the title of your worksheet. It happened to me once and I couldn �t believe it. I spent a whole day trying to upload it , until I realized and made that small change. Try it and tell me if your problem is solved.

dear users,
 
at the beginning I had the same problems as you encounterd, by I checked another browser and nothing like this happened again.
 
As far as different titles are concerned I agree that apostrophe can cause errors.
 
bye for now
