Firefox user here.
For the past few weeks now I haven't been able to upload anything. I'll put all of the neccesary information in when making a torrent and wouldn't you know I hit "Add to index" and I'm right at the settings screen and nothing's been added. Now normally that's nothing out of the ordinary as it does take 30 min to appear, or in the case of VIP and trusted, only a few minutes, but after waiting for over an hour I'm still not able to get anything up.
I'm not using Tor as previous users have said will cause problems, and as far as I know my account is in good standing. I've asked for assistance in the Account thread for a solution and haven't heard anything. Either the mods didn't care or they don't have a remedy for the problem, which is fine, they run the forums and not TPB, but I would have appreciated some sort of acknowledgement. So I've made this thread in an effort to get the word out and to hopefully get the attention of either the mods or administrators to see if they know what's wrong.
I will try to uninstall my web browser and update if anything changes!
UPDATE 1:
It looks like creating a new account doesn't fix any of the issues.
UPDATE 2:
I just tried using asterastrip's method and I was able to get an upload out. Now I didn't add a description or pictures or really even a title so that may have been the reason why I was able to upload so I'll go ahead and try uploading something normally and see what happens. But it seems clearing your cache and using the "Upload Torrent" link on the front page of ThePirateBay seems to fix the issue entirely, as I was able to use the upload link on the Browser page without any issues! I will be updating with the results!
UPDATE 3: asterastrip's's method definetely works! Other than the error message you get when uploading your uploads should come out fine, just make sure that if you're not VIP or trusted to wait at least 30 min before trying to upload again if you don't see it, as there is a wait time.
Thanks so much to everyone who answered!
