URL help and Storage Concerns

I think that the Group's storage situation is currently under 
control, since we have used only about 30% of our maximum allocation. 
It looks like the Dayton pictures are nicely compressed, so I 
wouldn't worry that they are taking up excessive storage.  

If we ever approach the maximum storage allotment of 20Mb we can (and 
should) clean up our files and/or start another e-group expressly for 
pictures. People have already started a couple of additional 
"sibling" e-groups for storing things like chat transcripts that tend 
to take up a lot of storage.  (One of the early transcripts took up 
4.5Mb all by itself, but most are much smaller.)

I don't know why people are having problems uploading files.  I just 
click on "upload file", use the "browse" button to find the file on 
my PC, highlight the file name, click on the "open" button, fill in 
the Description box (optional), then click on the "Upload File" 
button.  That's all there is to it.  The only time that I have 
problems is when I *type* the file name and make a typo, but that 
shouldn't happen if you browse to find the file as described above.  
Where in the process does the problem occur, and what is the error 
message?
