Questions about features and about error in first uploaded panorama

[Kugelpano]

I uploaded a panorama of 22 AEB series, each with 3 images, in RAW format.
Panomonkey tells me by email

We’re sorry - Panomonkey was not able to create your panorama.
More information about the error can be found here:
http://www.panomonkey.com/images

Well, the information in that email is somewhat sparse,
and the claim of the second line is confusing as I can't find any bit of additional information under that link.

I uploaded individual files and not a zip-file.
I did not watch my screen all the time during the hours of upload.
Do I need to do that to learn more about potential upload problems?
Panomonkey sent an email that the upload completed successfully.
Should I distrust that message?
Should I assume, that some images were broken during upload anyway?
For now I don't.

Possibly I did things while shooting which I should not do?
Some respective points seem not to be covered by the FAQ or instructions of Panomonkey:

• Is it okay to upload AEB series to Panomonkey?
• Is it okay to use automatic exposure mode for such AEB series?
  
• Is it okay to upload a mix of portrait and landscape images?
  While a take most pictures in portrait orientation,
  the Nadir shot may come out in landscape orientation.
• Does it matter if I accidentally changed the zoom between shots
  as long as all images still have sufficient overlap?

Can you clarify these points?

What seems also strange to me: I can not find any ID or URL regarding my uploaded panorama.
It would seem useful if I could tell you which panorama I am talking about.
All that I can find is a link "X" on http://www.panomonkey.com/images
whose target is http://www.panomonkey.com/images/delete/33936 but I hesitate to click on it.
From this link I guess that my uploaded panorama might have the ID 33936 at Panomonkey.
Can you tell me how to correctly reference a failed panorama?
Can you tell me what went wrong with this panorama?

I am trying out Panomonkey to possibly recommend it to visitors of another website.
When I do that, than I will also include a review of the features provided by Panomonkey.
I prefer to restrict respective tests to features which Panomonkey claims to support.

we currently don't support this in the panomonkey GUI, sorry.

no, they should be a single orientation. 

• While a take most pictures in portrait orientation,
  the Nadir shot may come out in landscape orientation.

they should be the same focal length.

also, while panomonkey supports raw files, there isn't much payoff, it's better to upload jpegs.
