That’s awesome information, thank you so much!

Ah! Yeah, sometimes I have trouble with that that as well. I think it’s just trouble on the back-end, because sometimes if I wait a few days and try again with the same file, it uploads just fine.

For most new communities, traffic will be low and manageable, and you can play it by ear. Start it and see what happens. Post it in the New Communities sub if you want to get some eyes on it, or just let it grow organically.

This is all terribly engaging!
