Glad you were able to sort it out. Pretty soon the length with be 100 characters including spaces & by that point.. well what's the point. We've also noted that if you have multiple "additional details" that are "long" i.e. 160 + characters you can only have about 3 or 4 max before Google won't let you submit the listing. If you have smaller additonal details - i.e. 75 characters or less. you can upload roughly 5 of them. *shrugs* Go figure. Hey no worries. Glad you were able to sort it out.

So strange. Thanks again for the tip. Hi Joan,

It tells you it detected a URL ( based on the multiple dots text.text.text. ). What kind of failsafe is that? My teacher in C++ classes would kill me for such kind of exception handling. the description field also dies instantly when you forget about spacing and try to cramp as much characters in there as you can.

I just logged into the LBC's that I was unble to yesterday prior to the fix. I all the listings are disapproved. One reason we figured out - the attribute is not under 170 characters even though Google allows 200. It goes into cardiac arrest at about 175 characters totally passes out at 186 and does a wonderful death scene in Carmen if you even try the 200 max. it also it telling me that there is no such state/province in this country. So apparently OHIO has succeeded from the Republic of the United States of America. Go figure.. CNN missed that coverage.
