I have never had a problems uploading pictures before until I tried to create an album to add pictures. I would be thankful if someone could furnish me detail instructions how to upload more that one picture to an album. Thanks.

As we've said before, there are several problems with hosting images.

A few of these that I can think of right now as I sit here sucking on the nebulizer and hacking my guts up are:

1. Reposting of stolen BME Images.

2. BME getting ticked over such images.

3. Bandwidth bills - it costs to serve that much data. (probably the biggest issue)

4. Other members bitching about pictures that offend them or are "off topic"

5. Some idiot posting images of minors that could be visible when the Admin is not immediately around to screen them.

6. Moderation, to prevent #5, which would take even more time, and then the inevitable "When are my pictures going to show up?"

So the answer to images other than avatars is still a resounding "NO".

We do not enable personal albums - though they appear in the profile functions, I have them so minimized they won't work. They will stay that way.
