"error registering upload"

I am working online today in my library since I am not on my regular computer. I am therefore uploading PDFs of articles I'm citing. A number of times I am getting an error message reading "error registering upload", which appears in a pink band across the top of the library window, after uploading. In each case, the article looks like it has attached to the citation and I am able to close the window and then come back to that same entry and successfully open the PDF. So I am thinking the error message is itself an error. But I would hate to lose the work I'm doing. Is there a problem I need to take care of here?
  • If it's showing up and you can download it afterwards you're fine (As a general rule, if the download link is active rather than just the metadata link, the file upload went through).

    There are still some kinks to work out with file uploads from the website, and it's erring on the side of thinking there was a problem rather than assuming it was succesful, but it should be more reliable in the near future.
  • Thank you so much! It's always good to know the errors are on the "safe side" -- I can live with that! :-)
