Is uploading new scripts to vim.org possible?

[Lifepillar]

I am not able to upload new scripts to www.vim.org. The "type" drop-down
is empty and there is no "upload/submit" button or similar. Is that
intentional?

Thanks,
Life.

of course not :) Sorry should be fixed now.

Thanks,
Christian

Thanks, the page now look fine, but after pressing "upload",
add_script.php send me to an empty page and the plugin is not uploaded.

Ah okay, I did not try to upload a new script. This also should work
now.

Thanks,

Now, after pressing "upload" I'm sent back to the form page, but the
script is still not uploaded.

I tried it yesterday and it worked. I now tried it again and it still
works.

Let's take this off-list. Can we connect around 14:00 EST so I can watch
the log files while you are trying to do it?

Sorry, I had to go. Anyway, I've found that the problem is the upload
size limit, which my file, weighing at >500KB, exceeds. Somehow,
yesterday I've missed the "Request Entity Too Large" error at the top of
the page.

Removing some assets from the plugin has made the upload go through.

I will consider a different way of distributing the assets: in fact,
I don't like such large plugins myself.

Thanks for your support!

I have a cron job that checks for new and changed scripts by
comparing certain sections of the scripts page to the previously
downloaded page. I was concerned that changes to the site might
break that cron job, but I am happy to report that it still works.

Regards,
Gary
