Common concerns
I can’t find the file I uploaded
After you upload a file it must be confirmed by a site administrator before it is made public. Please wait a few days and search for your file again to confirm the upload. If you are still having problems please contact Brad.
The file you uploaded may not be available because it exceeds the file capacity of 8MB.
