I dunno about yours, but my hosting at gasbanditry lets me set space quota on a folder by folder basis.
Eh, you probably don't need me backseat-driving your troubleshooting.

I couldn't NOT do it! You saw the setup! It demanded to be done! WHY AM I CURSED SO
I'm guessing that's what broke the uploader. The server saw what you were capable of and decided it wasn't going to take the chance you did try to use it.
I'll be honest. Even though I live just north of the border, I don't know all the states, either. I know some, but not very many. Canadian education and all that.

But I bet you know which one is Texas, don't you?
But even I mix up Vermont and New Hampshire ALL the time.
Vermont looks like a V

Actually the "Mid-West" is mostly east of the Mississippi River, figure that one out.

Oh, it's easy to figure out. The east coast (particularly New York and New England) thinks itself the center of the universe. So everything else is "west," but Ohio and Indiana are only "mid" west.[DOUBLEPOST=1383346896,1383346597][/DOUBLEPOST]Not "funny" just illustrative of the current topic:

At the time the United States became a nation, it was actually part of the northwestern section of the country; in fact, the area that eventually made up five (and a half) states was called the Northwest Territories. After the Louisiana Purchase and the War of 1812, it was called the "Midwest" because it was closer to the original 13 colonies than the large purchase of land. Thus, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are usually called the Midwestern States. (Iowa is sometimes thrown in to the mix because of the Big Ten and because we feel sorry for them.)
This is sometimes the reason why people refer to Washington/Oregon/Idaho as the Pacific Northwest.

Congratulations! You ARE the ETERNAL VIRGIN!
Darmok on the ocean.
I may or may not be writhing around on the floor in blissful ecstasy at the moment.
