Folks, here's the scoop (vanilla, goes nice with those cupcakes)

Ok, wiki stats are up and running again, but may take a while to load the first time you bring up the page, and may actually time-out the first time. Sorry, it's lame but I'm working on improving that.

Details: The stats system runs on separate hardware from our main servers. This is done to prevent the huge volume of disk, memory, and cpu load from interfering with general usage on the remainder of the PBwiki service. We installed some otherwise routine security upgrades on several non-core machines including the stats server and ran into some compatibility problems during the process. I've addressed those issues and things are back online. We're sorry for the confusion and brokenness, thanks for you patience!

Hi Clif,
My video finally showed up too (took two days, though) Just thought I'd let you know. I love using my wiki- so glad I can have the videos too. (I appreciate your earlier responses)

Hi Cliff,

Thanks for the quick reply. My video did start working a couple of hours later--what a great feature! If I have problems again, I'll try your other suggestions.

Hi Carolyn, yes ... it's too big. It's not that you don't have room for it. I'm sure you do.

The upload is probably failing because of time-out issues between your computer and our video host. You'd probably have the same problem trying to upload it into your Files page.

Some people seem to have no problems uploading enormous files and others seem to top out around 40mb or less. It mostly depends on who your internet service provider is.

You may be able to find a file host online who can reliably grab your upload. One place you might try is YouTube. You can easily display any videos you upload there by using the HTML plugin or the YouTube plugin.

Another approach may be to see if you can somehow reduce the size of your video or cut it up into smaller chapters.

I have been viewing traffic statistics successfully every couple of days. It has shown hits that don't appear in my ClustrMap, and I really like the feature. Suddenly today I'm getting the fatal error! I'm presenting staff development on pbwiki Feb. 6, so it at all possible, it would be nice to have the feature back before then.

I have had the same problem with a .mov file. I tried to convert it to .flv on zamzar.com, but the file is too big. Is 127MB too big for my gold pbwiki?
