Can't upload files

    Every file I try to upload gets this error message:

    File upload failed. Reason:
    (FILENAME.pdf) Failed to write file to disk

    I've tried multiple browsers and multiple file types. I've tried my phone and my laptop. Is this a problem for anyone else?

    I believe files can't be uploaded if the filename contains spaces. Try renaming your files to exclude them...

    There was another problem on the server with file uploads tonight, but I have just made an adjustment to work around it.

    I've had this problem several times recently, and I've made sure that the filenames do NOT contain spaces. This has typically been with .mp3 files with file size less than 5 Mb. As a consequence, I've either abandoned the attempts to post them or, in a few cases, have posted Dropbox links to the files in question. This has NOT been just a problem with file uploads from last night.
