How is the manual upload process supposed to work?
Posted: Tue Oct 25, 2011 12:05 pm
The first manual I uploaded, it failed to upload so I sent holgar a link to the archive for the dpa pump manual and uploaded it somewhere else first, but I have two manuals for the massey harris pony tractors and a wiring diagram etc I want to upload for another member, and when I tried to upload them direct, I get the error "you are not allowed to do this" at the final step after waiting ages for the upload to go up.
Is this the correct process and they're awaiting moderation? if so could someone change the error message to reflect this, or have they genuinely not uploaded and there's something gone wrong. Is there a incoming manuals folder somewhere I should be putting them into instead?
Of course I can upload them elsewhere and send the link like last time, but maybe its a good time to either clear up my misunderstanding of how the process works or spots a hole in the process that might put others off from contributing.
I think a few words round what is the "official" process to get a manual on there might help the more hard of thinking amongst us (like me!.)
