Message error when I try to submit :
exception! Please copy and paste the text from this page into a mail message to Zwaxy, telling him what you were doing when this happened. And what drugs/medication you were on:

And if try to re-submit, I'm told that file already exists, but it doesn't appear nor in "up" neither in "loads".
Am I the only one with this problem ?

Mmmmm...
Wonder what ASCII code was wrong in desc box ;
or maybe trouble became of that :
there was still an hidden uopoko input which hadn't been moved to uopokoj :
http://marp.retrogames.com/inp/c/7/5/ph ... mame70.zip

So trouble may be from trying to upload a lower score ?
even if message error seems different there

Probably an accented letter or something. 0xE9 is, according to Windows Character Map "e with acute" (é).

Don't remember, but it's probable (I had put something in French for Snoopy).
Simply I was surprised desc box didn't take that, and would refuse upload just because of that

Well, it is 0xe9 on the usual Western code page also, so exactly why it throws a Unicode exception, I don't know. It certainly doesn't mind accepting Japanese... that being said, not many Japanese applications use Unicode anyway. I guess straight Shift-JIS is ok.

I hit the same problem trying to submit my Galturbo recording when I put in my original comments "so close to ¼ a million" and it objected to the extended Ascii ¼ character.

I did send an e-mail to Zwax at the time.
