Can't upload to the Swap Shop

[hazelnut]

I noticed yesterday that some of my uploaded Sims aren't actually there - the description and pictures are on the Swap Shop but not the attached files.  It's possible that I forgot to upload them  but I think I did and they've disappeared.  When I tried editing the posts to add the files, I got the message: The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved.  I've tried several times now with the same result.

Is this just a temporary effect of the server being overloaded with all the Sims 4 launch excitement?

Have you been successful in uploading files in the past or is this your first attempt?

I've uploaded quite a few houses and Sims with no problem at all.

Edit: As a test, I tried an upload in another thread.  Same message.

That's a problem with the server.

You need to poke Carl. He'll need to FTP in and run CHMOD on the appropriate folders.

Test'

Edit: seems to be fixed... for now, because I have no idea how it got changed.
