| | 1) Lack of valid progress bar. 2) Got error of 'Exceeded upload limits' It was only a 140meg tif file. Thanks for not setting this bar too high - a 3gig file was next!  The problem with this message is that it did so after churning through the upload sequence until the limit was hit (or some interminable setting since there was no way to see real progress). There should be some validation code in the transfer mechanism that checks against limits/permissions before the transfer gets underway. I would've been pissed if this happened over a slow wireless connection. 3) Tried to download a file and IE7 went to a 'no connection' state. No unable to even hit the TPP login screen. Closed out inactive tab and reconnected. Login still not validated 30 sec later. |

| | Hi Thoman, thanks for the quick feedback! 1) Lack of valid progress bar.
==KG> Yes, this varies by browser type. What browser/OS are you using? Sounds like IE7 on Windows XX? 2) Got error of 'Exceeded upload limits' It was only a 140meg tif file.

==KG> Will check into seeing how we can improve this. The max file size is settable by the Admin. In this case, it's 50MB. There's a message on the Upload page (sounds like it's not standing out enough). "Click "Browse" to select a file. You can attach files up to a total size of 50 MB." 3) Tried to download a file and IE7 went to a 'no connection' state. No unable to even hit the TPP login screen.

==KG> What user are you connected with?bye for now,

| | Ditto the others. take a look at what microsoft just released for a nicer skin. skydrive.live.com i can see why this is a good product for some users, i wouldn't want it in the base product.

| | Oh Joy. I know they're just following in the footsteps of others but their enviable (NOT!) track record of security leads me to say "No Thanks" Tom |

| | Hey, i'm not saying i'd put my tax return info there. but for a "skin" they are aesthetically better. remember, performance is a perception not based on facts.
