What have your tried, @spookybird ?

Below the dialog box are there 3 green buttons with "Post Reply" "Upload a File" "More Options..." ?

If you click "Upload a File" do you find your computer files?

Look for "Pictures" that you have saved.

I'm having trouble with "Upload a File". In the past I could upload quite a few photos at one time. Now I get a different upload, can't see how much upload is left, and can only do one at a time. This takes way to long to post more than one photo in a message.

I've actually had to start the upload and leave my computer it's taking so long to load a photo. What's up. Is it just me or has the site changed how photos are loaded?

All I've been doing is dragging and dropping from my desktop right in my message, it shows up below then choose either Thumbnail or Full Image and insert.

Safari 5.1.10 same as always. I think the change in how I am able to post started about 3 weeks ago. Until then I'd see the upload things below the post showing how far the upload was. Now I see nothing but lines in the top right-hand side of page and the posting screen goes grey until loaded.

Smart Red, you may want to think about trying Firefox.

You don't need to respond to that. I know nothing about Safari and the idea only comes from learning how others were frustrated and downloaded the Firefox browser to use.

One person seems fully committed to having both and reports comparisons.

@Smart Red thanks for all the details! A few more questions:

How are you loading the pics? Are you clicking the "upload a file" button or "dragging / dropping" or some other way?

Are you able to test another browser just to see if it's an issue with the browser vs. your computer, the files, or something else?
