Now I can upload (I switched apache server, so some unknown PHP setting was aparently blocking posts of all kinds) but now I get a Error 413, Request entity too large! The post limit is 8M, and I have increased the file_upload limit to 5M, the file is only 1.7M ... Thanks very much for any help you can give, Dan.
