You could install the Firebug plugin for firefox and see if it can tell you what the server responds to your upload request etc., it requires a little know how about web programming or rather about how http uploads are supposed to work.

lol, yeah right, last time i logged in was when you added me back then... that was how long ago? ;)
i was just pushing gaia because cokey was pushing facebook, and it's a well known fact that all /b/ tards are gaiafags; just half of them are in denial :D.

At my U., just about everyone who was technically inclined used Apple. I kept running across Linux users as well.

Not a lot of Windows love these days.
yeah, except for all the fields of study that involve producing tremendous amounts of text, because for those guys 'writing text on a computer' equals 'using microsoft word' and nothing but that.

same here in heidelberg, the japanese teachs use macs... well, anything is a better choice than windows, which unfortunately runs on all the other machines, because the edv guys say it's easier to maintain if everyone uses the same system.
*nod* yeah, it's a shame really... i'm still confident that if they just made all the clients run linux + openoffice, about 50% of the users wouldnt notice and at least another 30% wouldn't mind.

good idea. php's website has a nice introduction to how http file uploads work as well, so you could crosscheck with that to figure out whats going wrong.

My college really doesn't do programming languages.. If the need for it comes up, a small visual basic program is usually crafted together by SOMEBODY somewhere.
And we've used blackboard for a while, but this year we started switching over to moodle, which is open source so I'm assuming any difficulties for linux users aren't there, but i've neve really had any trouble with either of them
