From that page
  • Click the "Browse..." button
  • Select file (jpg)
  • Click the "Upload/Submit" button
  • Get the "Preparing to Process image list" screen for a few sec (depending on connction speed)
  • You should see the "Add Photos - Select Photos / Configure Properties" screen
  • Here you can add a Title and/or Text
  • Click the "Process Files" button
  • You should see the "Processing Image List" screen
  • Lastly you should see the "No more images found" screen
  • Now click the "My Gallery" link on the upper left
Give that a try :D

Are you logged in?Are you typing in the file path? Or "browsing" to it?What browser are you using?Does the "status bar" or "busy icon" finish?

Just a few questions to help us figure this out.

I had nothing but problems uploading my pics, but on that screen that you say is blank, I would scroll down and there was an error message. Until I put my photos into a program or imagination station to resize them I couldn't upload them. Do your files have the right names, .jpeg, etc......

After that, click on "Process files"

Or is there a process files button for you?

What browser are you using? Firewall? DSL or 56k?

Bitmaps aren't supported (generally alot bigger file size for same size pic). Try converting to jpg/jpeg.

Nice car BTW :D

On the first screen with the "Browse" button, what does it say under the "Photo to Upload:" line? On mine it says no file size limit.
