Hey, I'm trying to upload my video to pufile, the only problem is I uploaded it there before the URL ended up having an underscore and dashes in it, so when I tried to submit the video it said I couldn't because there were invalid characters in the URL, or something simliar to that.
I tried re-naming the video and re-uploading it to putfile but the URL always comes out the same, I thought maybe I had to take the original file off of their server or something but don't see how I can do that.
And I can't use picafile because I've tried that many times before and it never works, it always gets stuck while it's uploading.
Can anyone help me?!

Grrr! This characters thing in the link section is bugging me!

PM me the link, and add in where the link spot is "Warren/Hobbes gave me a Golden Ticket!"

I'll add in the link after we pass it through the staging area then

LOL
And uhhh.... if I forget to, remind me

I was having that problem with submitting my contest vid. It wouldn't let me type the underscores.

What worked was copying the URL from the address bar (or a text file, whatever) and pasting it in the URL field on the submit page.

Hope this helps.

Had the same problem with my "haunted" vid--I'm assuming it was the dash in the address.

It stopped me when I hit "submit" and I couldn't reupload it to Putfile under a new name, just kept getting sent back to the same URL. Ended up uploading it to Picafile instead.

This probably wasn't helpful.

It didn't work the first time I hit submit but then I inputed all the info again and it worked.

At least I think it worked. My contest vid is in the submit area, isn't it, Hobbes?
