Every time I try to upload photos I get a Server is Busy message.
Is anyone else getting this problem?

It's been like that for 2-3 weeks. I may just migrate over to Photobucket.

My apologies guys. The photo gallery puts too much of a drain on our server especially while it does it's daily backup. It's either the backup or this temporary compromise with the gallery during our peak annual usage during the winter.

Also I do have a new user photo uploading system in the works which will hopefully make the current gallery obsolete anyways and at the same time offer a lot more space for user photos. Sadly I just suffered a bit of a setback as I just got word the 3rd party photo uploading site (PicNik.com) I had about 80% integrated into this new system is being shut down by it's parent company (Google). So now I have to re-write a lot of that code.

Best wishes,
Jim

Not a problem Jim, I figured you had something like that in the works. I've just been encouraging people to use alternative image hosting sights for the campaigns I've been running to help reduce the load until a solution can be worked out.
