    Hello all.


    When I try to upload the results of our latest league race to www.simresults.net, I'm getting an error: '400. Please select at least one file.'

    Somehow, qualifying results are working normally. Does anyone know how to solve this?

    The same error is occuring in our 'Paddock' system which we're using as well, so it must be something about the file and not simresults.net

    Thanks in advance.

    Sometimes the xml file would contain special characters that need to be stripped out. Open the file with notepad++ and look for strange characters and remove them. Save and try again.

    I assume the file is too big. Simresults has no issues with special chars.

    My site doesn't give any warning about file sizes. Please mail to me and I'll see if I should higher it. Thanks!

    Will make a proper warning soon.

    Thanks for your responses guys. It seems like the files were too big indeed. For some reason there were 2000 lines of incident reports! (And no, that's not because there are so much crates in our league :D). I believe the files were about 9000 kb. big.

    I managed to fix it by deleting those lines in the files. Problem solved!

    Thanks for the help.
