I'm having difficulty adding a link to a new document. I get this message:

'The web page at https://e-voice.org.uk/friendsofloxleycemetery/content-centre/item-picker#file_form might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.'

What do I do?

I've not been able to reproduce this problem - maybe there was a temporary problem with your network connection?

Does the problem still occur for you?

Thanks

I'm still getting the same problem but now I get a different error message:

Error 503 Service Unavailable

Interesting, and strange!

How big is the document that you're trying to upload (in MB)?

Thanks

Just over 60mb. It's a Powerpoint file.

Sorry, that should be just over 69mb

Currently the server running Voice has a limit of 50mb for individual file uploads, so I imagine this is the problem!

You could try shrinking the file size down before uploading it. Your users may prefer it too if the file is smaller as it'll be faster to download and be less effort for computers to display.

There are some suggestions here on shrinking powerpoint files. I haven't specifically tried any but it could be worth investigating!

Thanks

That looks like the answer - pity the error message didn't suggest that file size was the problem. The file is all images so I think I will have to remove some of them, though I might try compressing them just in case.

many thanks
