Ola Guys

Have been absent for a bit due to various reasons. With my return I wanted to upload some of my more recent work into my gallery folder but somehow it won't do it. Everything works till I hit submit. It loads for a little while and then goes to a page telling me that page cannot be reached.
I've tried it with Chrome and IE and the message is the same.

I read on various places that the site was offline due to a server switch or something and was wondering if this might be an effect of that. Are more people experiencing problems similar like this?

Robert,

I had the same issues. I found that following this after selecting the album to upload to and then the photos (with the multiple upload option) follow the two steps outlined in the picture below:



Hopefully that helps. The gallery was offline most of yesterday, however, but I was able to upload last night.

I should also say that I use Firefox exclusively, so not sure on Chrome or Internet Explorer.

I went back to the gallery upload to see how and what... I already used that submit button in my tries before and that box is always unchecked. Still no success in uploading.

I get this:

The category you chose for this photo can't contain photos.

I'm uploading the way I normally do.

Cheers Rob.

I had to resize photos with the Microsoft paint software to reduce the file size on some of mine after I got the same error message. Somehow the website could not swallow my 6 Gb files! lol! Good luck
