I don’t get an error message. I get one of two things: a time bar that states the my loading is 0% finished and the other is the gog that just spins and spins. I’ve loaded images every week (lately 2x a week) and have never had a problem before. I even tried uploading an image I’d already posted and it didn’t work.

Okay, I’ve tried nearly all these things. Even tried going to a different computer. I STILL cannot upload photographs. The loading bar shows 0% complete and doesn’t change. I’ve left it for over an hour to see if it was just slow. I’m getting more frustrated all the time! I was considering moving my website to WordPress, not I wonder if that’s a bad idea. Tobie
