    I'm currently unable to upload more than one image at a time. I've tried on both Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Flash is enabled on both browsers and I have ensured that using the flash uploader is in my preferences. Is anyone else having this issue?

    I had the identical issue yesterday when I uploaded 6 new photos of Vancouver Aquarium.

    I had this issue the other day, tried both Firefox and Windows Edge (or whatever it's called), both with the same upload issue

    So does it now work normally for you both?

    I've not actually tried since, if I get chance tomorrow I'll try the uploader again

    Will look into it ... is a little tricky for me to test, since I no longer have Flash installed on my computer - but I think I have an old computer running Flash which I can use to test with.

    Either way, it is supposed to support multiple file uploads, so sounds like a bug somewhere.

    I managed to upload multiple images today after enabling flash (on Firefox), although there was a limit of 5 files at once.

    Okay - turns out I was a few updates behind with the forum software and the gallery software and some of the recent fixes were addressing issues in browsers where Flash was disabled.

    I've updated to the latest versions and multiple file uploading is working for me again - and I do not use Flash (it's a HTML5 multi-file upload thing).

    Please try again and let me know if you still have difficulty uploading multiple files at once.

    As a moderator, you should not have any restrictions on uploads (but you did), I've fixed that now.

    Regular users are permitted to upload 5 images at a time. Premium members have no restrictions.
