Hi,

anyone else have a problem with MG-RAST at the moment? They say they have fixed their upload problem but I cannot get it accept a metadata file.. Always get the error below. Anyone else have a similar problem? They don't seem to reply to their support email address (too busy with perplexed users I suppose!).

Thanks,
Theo
