I've been getting that error for quite some time. I haven't been able to upload since uploads were disabled for the security incident.

Still waiting.

Are you guys ever going to figure out how to upload pictures to the photo gallery?
Or may be someone could give step by step instructions on how to do it?

Its broken. Blew an apex seal. We're waiting for our fearless admin to give it a rebuild and street-port.

Step by step

Step 1: (Files on your hard drive)

You can only upload gif or jpg files... No bmp's.
The file names must be unique when uploading, make sure they are, rename your files with todays date in them.

Example:
orig file name: dansrepu1011.jpg
new file name: 20030725dansrepu1011.jpg

It also helps to make sure the extension is lower not UPPER case, and the file doesn't have any special characters in it. letters and numbers only please!!

This is to ensure that a file like repu.jpg gets uploaded 1000 times, and wipes everyone else's file out.

It also helps if you have your image file about 1200 pixles wide or smaller.

Step 2: (Logging in)

Click on the "Upload a File" link. Use the same username and password to log in as you do on the forum. So if you login with johnny_rotary_666 on this forum, use that login with your password to upload a file.

Step 3: (Choose the options)

Select an album to enter the phot into. The default is now Misc, but you should try and keep your photos in your album.
When you make a new album, try not to use the ' character.

Next, find the file to upload with the Browse button, and select it. Again, make sure the file name is unique, has a lower case extension (upper case like July252003myREPU.jpg is OK, but "Johnny's Repu.JPEG" is bad.

And finally enter a short description if you want to.

Step 4: (upload the file)

Click the "Send File" button, and wait until the file is done uploading. and you should see it appear on the page.

Done.

I have a laundry list of things to make the process better, but I'll be out enjoying my RX-8 this weekend :)
