This article provides technical support and guidelines to help you troubleshoot issues when uploading content through EnTribe-hosted uploaders.

There are a handful of reasons that an upload may be cancelled. You may have exceeded the allowed number or size of files, attached an unsupported file format (see below for what is supported), a timeout occurred, or wires got crossed in transit.

If you are getting a message like this, then the link you have visited is currently not accepting uploads. This may be because we are experiencing unusally high traffic to that link, the submission window has closed, or the associated organization is no longer working with EnTribe.
