I'm getting repeated 'this page isn't working' message when attempting to upload a file of CCD observations in WebObs.  Might someone take a look please?

Thanks

Webobs

Seems an odd problem.

Please attach a screen shot and the file you were trying to upload via webobs

Webobs fault

I found that one of your data lines had a leading space: " M31N 2008-12a,2457998.597,<18.3,na,CV,NO,ABS,183,18.3,na,na,na,na,AAVSO X166841S,COAST"

Delete that leading space and the file will be accepted.

I'll make a note to get this fixed; crashing is an unacceptable response to so small an error!

Re: Web Obs

Thank you very much George.

In the past when I have made an error WEbObs has always informed me which line the error occurs.  I hadn't seen that 'not working' error in the past at all!
