We've been looking into ways to enhance ourverification processand noticed that some members of ourGrouphave been unable to upload case-sensitive filenames to their webservers. To help them, we now
check for a lowercase verification filename if we don't find the case-sensitive one. So now you
can upload a verification file with the lowercase filename. (If you have already verified, you
don't need to do anything new.)
Thanks to our Groups members for their input—and keep that feedback coming!
