I updated an existing profile for the movie Junior to reflect the one I own (new EAN/UPC: 8714025512272) and put new cover scans. After uploading I thought everything was fine, but it turns out the images never uploaded.
I just tried again twice, and both times DVD Profiler seems to package them, but when the web page shows up, nothing shows. Am I doing something wrong? It worked for the updated covers of Daylight (EAN/UPC 8714025512029) that I did right before or after the Junior profile.

These are the images I'm trying to upload:



Edit: it seems nothing got uploaded at all for this title, not even the changes I made to the features, etc.

Make sure to have both pics in your profile and that your upload confirmation looks like this:
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

it does look like that, and it uploads 384KB of data, but nothing shows up at all on the web page, none of the changes I made. My contribution status for this title is "Incomplete Submission" for good reason, as there's nothing there.

I'm at a loss here as I want to try and contribute and it worked the previous times...

Backing up my database and restoring it didn't help, but I'll give restarting my computer a go, just in case.

After the confirmation screen your browser is supposed to open.
It will open on a page where you can compare your changes to the existing profile.
Does it do that?

It opens the page, but none of the title's information is shown. Just the default text it shows for every contribution. Rebooting the computer didn't help either, unfortunately.

I can see that a new contribution "thread" has been created by the system -

http://www.invelos.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=447821&PageNum=LAST

As it's a new contribution, there won't be a comparison screen.

But the contribution apparently didn't contain any data, so anything I try to submit should be shown as new or changed, right?

It's been a while but as far as I can recall new contributions don't show the info on the contribution screen.

If you go to My Contributions does it say anything against the submission for that profile?

On http://invelos.com/MyProfiler.aspx?display=contributions it doesn't show the contribution for Junior anymore. It did earlier and said it was an incomplete submission.

No, the "New Contribution"- screen is empty except for the notes editor.
In the editor you are supposed to enter something like:
Quote:
New DVD
All data taken from [enter source(s) here]

Click on "Submit" afterwards and everything will be fine.

it's supposed to show the new scans though, isn't it? It was before when I submitted the other contributions. Am I really that mistaken?

Unfortunately not. It only shows any info/scans if it's an existing profile. Not for a new one.

Probably "Yes"
Since a new profile has by definition nothing to compare to, the comparison screen wouldn't make too much sense, wouldn't it?

Wow I must be thick then... I just tried again, and it does indeed now say everything's been received. Still, I wonder why it didn't show anything as received the previous try.

Thanks for your help though guys I really appreciate it.

True, but it would be nice to be able to see what you uploaded to make sure everything's correct... At least that's how I would've made the page
