    Hey I only submitted 2, give you guys a chance :p... I think I'll take August and October please :D :rolleyes:

    Good thing I didn't send the psd files eh? 2 34.5mb files :eek:

    Just to let you know - one was 4.9 and the other was 1.9 mb so your files shouldn't have a problem getting through.

    I did send them out on the 16th though...

    This was the reply, so all looks good.

    I have forwarded some entries this morning and it seems to be working fine. Perhaps you would be able to give it another go today.

    Still down – gmail is saying that the address “is over quota temporarily”
    So you do get confirmation once they receive your entry?
