OpenStreetMap
Hello all :)
I try to upload GPX trace on my profil (i'm not a new member), but ... i have the green sticky that i can wait 1/2h before i can see the file BUT i don't view the thumbnail of the GPX preview with the "WAIT" (red) indicator.
no mail to indicate a fail or successful upload job.
i have try to disconnect the profil and reconnect (no cache in my firefox = 0Mb).
any news ? (i wait and upload on monday...)

Had the same problem yesterday and today.
I use firefox too and i am even not a new user. Something may have changed, as for other users it seem to work well.
Hope it will be fixed soon.

Same problem here, with Safari, so it's probably not related to the browser. Maybe the server is just busy.

Sunday evening (in western europe, UTC+ 1) and the same prob for me too. Firefox on SuSE Linux. Well, if it don't work today, it might tomorrow... Sad that it doesn't show the file was received at least, that would be easier on my mind.

i prefer don't show the file (wrongly) uploaded...if the server have problem.

[SOLVED]
1) I use a Holux GR-245
2) I use BT747.org to retrieve my traces
3) It transform in GPX track (standard, not the OSM specific format)
4) I use GPX Editor, a freeware to cut no-logical traces (poor signal)
the think is that the specific "head" of GPX is too long (title #00001# 010407-13:34 for example...BEFORE the NMEA tracks).
perhaps a BT747.org feature but OSM server reject this with no indicator...to debug the GPX track.
i have uploaded 4 GPX track and it's ok, now...

Well, mine still don't show up, and they were created with some homebrew scripting that has always performed flawlessly. Would anything have changed on the receiving side?
I am in doubt now to try and upload them a second time, we don't want to overload those precious servers without need. Still after 24 hours waiting I think I may suppose my first upload went wrong - for whatever reason. Definitely there's room for improvement here!

Yes, they changed something.
Just tried to upload the same file via JOSM w/ DirectUpload plugin. It fails at the very end, too. Wireshark revealed the exact message:

It's a shame that such an advanced technique is required to quote the exact message. The error text is in a static widget. There is no debugging log. And nobody will type such a long text from screen, ever. In the Dilbert universe, that would be a typical strategy to make support calls impossible :)
Will somebody report the error to developers? I have no idea who is responsible for this part of OSM. Can't deduce anything useful from http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Platform_status .

Managed to report it myself, http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/3479
If somebody has a better idea, you're welcome :)

Wow, they actually fixed it!
