multiple account upload support

Hi,
i have multiple accounts and 2 screens. i usually play on 1-2 acc's and could use the others to take samples for your db. however i can only upload one file at a day cause a new upload at the same day will overwrite the other.
so i'd like to be able to queue multiple uploads from several accounts on 1 day. i can imagine to prevent multiple uploads from 1 account there would be a restriction for 1 upload per day per account ...
when this would be active i could sample a lot of other realms while i'm playing on my main account ...

Where are you seeing something that is preventing you from uploading more than once a day? I only have one account, but I have uploaded multiple times a day, sometimes within an hour or two.
From what I understand, if you upload another file "too soon" after a previous file, it assumes it's a duplicate & discards one. I don't know what the threshold for "too soon" is, but it seems that an hour is anough time, anyway.

It's 15 minutes between uploads, which isn't too bad - I certainly have no trouble uploading from both my accounts.

i used to have it even a few hours later. just restarted using census and read the fixes/additions list and couldn't find anything about it so i assumed nothing changed ...
later i realised i could ofc test it again to see if it has changed ... have not used it for months to be honest ... but when i realised this i already made this post.
i will test it and see if i can upload every 20 min's or something.
unless the programmer is willing to spend a few words about it ...

okay, i tested it:
Nov 17, 08 17:42:26 0 0 N
Nov 17, 08 17:22:17 0 0 N
(17.42 = 0.42 local time)
now i have to wait and see.

Yeah that question comes up every now and then. Always takes me about 20 min to find the source.

You can contribute data once every 15 minutes. Submissions made within 15 minutes will overwrite the previous upload. This is done to prevent the re-processing of same file that would not net any new characters or character updates.</p>
good enough?

also because the subject line of the post you have to look 20 min's for is not very descriptive
