Trouble loading gedcom file into ancestry.com

I have exported a small portion of my tree to gedcom, but cannot get Ancestry.com to accept it as an upload.

When exporting from iFamilyForTiger, all checkbox options have been un-selected.

Any suggestions? I'm not sure how to proceed, or what to try next.

Thanks

Please describe what happens in more detail.

1. Is it a problem getting Ancestry to accept the file itself?

If this is the case then try using FireFox for the upload rather than Safari.

or

2. Does Ancestry complain about the data that is in the file?

If this is the case then what error message do you get from Ancestry?
