Can't attach samples during interview process
I am new and am excited about working through odesk. I have already had two requests for interviews. When replying to them both, however, I was not able to attach my sample using the attachment process. I ended up cutting and pasting my samples in the body of the email. I don't think this looks as professional as sending attachments, though.
I am able to successfully send attachments using my email account so it's not like I don't know how to do it. When I use the odesk tool to send attachments, it just states that it is uploading endlessly. After 10 or 15 minutes, I cancel the process.
Have anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have any suggesitons?
Thank you!

I'm glad to see that it isn't just me. Maybe it is just a glitch that odesk is having today.
I haven't had any interviews before today so I haven't had the opportunity to try to attach files before.
Maybe it will be fixed by tomorrow.

I contacted engineering and a bug has been filed. Thanks for the report!

I still can't attach files through the Message System here at Odesk. Also, I've been 'losing' messages, two of my buyers' sent me messages that I haven't been receiving. It started 2 days ago.

How do I tell if the file I attached went thru with my cover letter? It doesn't show in my candidacies as attached to the cover letter. How do I let the buyer know this feature isn't working?
