I'll be taking the forums offline later tonight for a couple of hours to do an upgrade of the forum software and some other maintenance on the site.

I know - withdrawal symptoms start kicking in pretty quickly!

That's why I'm giving everyone notice now ... they've got 2 hours to come up with something else to do for a while. I know it's going to be tough!

Sim,

Congrats on some great works late into the night!
And thanx again for the explanation of the workings of the new website.

Incidentally, did you know that I was at that particular glacier ... a few months earlier. I suppose you must have slipped quite a few photographs of the ice colourings, the glacier itself and the brake-off in the bay.

Did you also visit Torres del Paine?

Cheers,

Jelle

I took something like 500 photos that day - it was probably our most enjoyable day of the entire trip ... especially after seeing Condors quite close!

We did visit Torres del Paine - but only a day trip unfortunately ... we hiked up towards the towers and back. We would love to go back and spend more time there one day.

Great Update, Is there any way to upload more than one picture at a time?

You can zip your images to upload multiples at once - but make sure your zip file is no more than 20MB in size.

I've also set the upload page to show multiple file upload boxes - you can upload up to 5 photos at once.

I'm not sure how well these two options work (I haven't tested them) - I'd be interested in hearing some feedback from people who have used the zip upload or mulitple uploads.

I've just tested the way of uploading 5 photos at once, and that works fine, but it does take a while

It possibly timed out before the files uploaded completely. This is an issue when uploading large files - which is just made worse when uploading multiple files.

If 1 at a time works, try 2 at a time, then 3, etc, until you find what works for you.

Just on staying awake,
If you want to stay up a lot longer I suggest you eat coco beans, they have natural caffiene and plus since of the strong taste you probably wouldn't want to relax,
