Using the "Add File" option when defining a classifier, if the file is in Unix format (CR/LF) instead of DOS format, the file upload fails silently. This is a bug.

sorry about that, but thanks for the heads-up - I'll look into it

Actually I had it backwards: Unix files end lines with LF, while DOS uses CR/LF.. I was on a Unix machine and had to convert my file to DOS format to get it to load.

Another "Add fille" bug: if you're using multiple choice values instead of raw numbers, and one of the values is misspelled in the file, that example is loaded but the value is blank, and there is no error message given. If a file contains mulitple examples it would be easy for the user to miss the fact that one of the values was not loaded correctly.
