It seems that BizHawk runs arent counted for as valid movie files for the submission queue. I havent been able to submit my new TASes, which makes me wonder how adelikat submitted his Zanac TAS.

I'm pretty sure the site has coding that says 
if run.username=="adelikat" then
     publish(run)
else
     submission_queue[#submission_queue+1]=run
end
Naturally, since I don't know HTML, I believe the site is programmed entirely in Lua... Edit: Debugged my code.

Apparently, the site has a slightly different implementation of BizHawk input file reading which requires a | at the end of each line. BizHawk itself doesn't even require this for playback, but adelikat's movie had it and Sonikkustar's didn't. Adelikat fixed Sonikkustar's file for him so he could submit it and intends to fix the site so it doesn't require that.

Implying HTML has anything to do with the site's programming, much less its file processing...
All the best, Brandon Evans

Thanks for pointing that out. Feel better now?
