Andy, is there any chance of being able to uplaod more than one photo at a time? It gets a bit tedious if you want to upload quite a few when you can only do it one at a time.

To upload more than one image at a time just click the + as many times as you want to add more boxes. Browse for each photo then click upload when done.

The more you upload at once the longer you will have to wait for them to upload.

There seems to be a limit of about 15 photo's that you can upload at a time.

Also, don't stay logged in - when you've finished log out. I found when I didn't, that I was unable to upload any photo's the next time I tried. But on Andy's advice, I logged out, logged in again and everything was fine.

The maximum file size is 1Mb. 1.3Mb is far too big to post in a forum anyway. You should consider resizing it to something like 640 x 480 pixels before posting. If you use a picture hosting site such as http://tinypic.com/ it will resize ('Resize:' option on upload page) the picture for you. After uploading it there simply copy the 'IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards' and paste it directly into your forum post.
