Sometimes uploading assets is evil

There’s like a 1/10 chance of it happening, as I have experienced it quite a few times as I upload many many things regularly.

When uploading a decal or audio, there is a chance that when it has finished sending the data to the servers, the upload and browse button turns into the top bar and I have no idea why and how to repro it exactly 100% of the time. When it has finished loading the data, it doesn’t actually upload it or take your robux.

browser?

I recall seeing this issue before in Chrome with iframes which the uploader uses. Here’s a thread What just happened? - #2 by MrgamesNwatch and another thread specific to your issue http://devforum.roblox.com/t/so-i-uploaded-a-decal/15051

Similar bug as I mentioned here:

I get this very often.

Yeah, I get this too.

Didn’t think about reporting it though.

Just so I understand, is the asset actually uploaded and the form is messed up, or does the upload fail and you have to retry?

It doesn’t complete the upload, so you have to refresh the page and retry.

How long does it usually take before failing?

In chrome you can see the “Uploading X%…” in the bottom left, and then it says “Waiting for ROBLOX” or something then the upload area is replaced with that after that notification dissapears.
