Marc import not working

I've tried adding both .mrc and .marc files, and both times the page behaves as though nothing happened. When I click the "Browse" button and select my file, the file name displays on the page. But then when I click the "Upload" button, the file name disappears and I'm left with the webpage looking like I just got to it. What am I doing wrong?

Sincerely,
Franklin Bryan

I see two import uploads for you on 9/14 (ET time). Did you upload after 9/14 or are those two imports your last uploads?

Can you give me your web browser you're using, and can you perhaps email me your import file to info@librarything.com or kristi@librarything.com? I'll be happy to take a closer look.

Sorry, just now seeing this. I think I was using firefox. If not that, then chrome. I'll send you the files I was trying to upload.

Okay, although your files appeared valid when I ran them through the validator, they're not actually in binary format which is what we need. (They're in human-readable format.) Once you fix this, you should be able to upload your files!

I did have ccatalfo push a fix on the import page, so it will throw the error when this happens (as it should have).
