Is anyone having problems with connections within the forums? Navigating between various areas is extremely slow for me today and uploading photos impossible. It could just me my pc which is why i'm asking.

Not me mate. Everything seems to be working as normal. Hope you get it sorted.

Thing is I havent a clue what to do about it. It took a couple of minutes just then waiting for the system to let me reply when its normally a few seconds. Frustrating cos I've been trying to upload some pics of Avril(very naughty ones,too) but it just wont do it.

Nothing wrong here except from what I've written before: Picture- heavy threads might need a reload to show all pix. But only sometimes.

Sounds to me like an internet connection problem.

Does it work okay on other websites?

Is the computer working okay when running other programs? If the PC is working at normal speed on other software such as PSP then it's most likely some issue with your internet service provider, IMO.

Myself also. Cannot upload any photos at all!

Later: Uploaded a compressed photo - might be the site cannot handle my new cameras 6Mb plus average.

Later still - Failed again. "Cannot load because a security token is missing????"

Kats - if you haven't got software to reduce the pics try shooting on a lower megapixel setting. The album software does reduce for you but there will be limitations and the bigger the pic the longer it will take to reduce the size.

Higher settings are great for pics on the computer but are pointless for forum use.

Hope this helps.

As revol said, I got that exact error message when i forgot to resize my 18megapixel images

I resize my picture before the upload.
I use the GIMP bit PhotoFiltre too when i want to use a lighter program.
