Ok, I don't know what the hell is going on, but whenever I'm uploading my files, decent size (5 to 10MB) this is what the Flickr upload does:

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2761/4060338324_41cc1b879a_o.jpg

It just sits there at 99%... for a long time. I've tried uploading with Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari. All do the same thing. Now, when I upload this screen shot (only around 70kb) it went through no problem. It never used to be like that before.

Sometimes I just switch to the "old" way of uploading files, but that means I can only do 5 or 6 at a time (I think). What if I have a ton of photos to upload?

Have any of you guys experienced this? My comp. is fairly new and it's got enough juice to process/upload these photos...

Any ideas?

Thanks

I use a flickr uploading application on my mac and I've never had hicups. I can upload 100+ photos at a time but usually my file sizes are under 200kb.

Might be server side. Send a msg to Flickr.

I'm gonna try to upload again, and I'm doing this with just one photo, and see how long it sits there for. The weird thing is when I got to cancel it, it tells me I still have unsaved changes, do I want to continue. I continue anyway, and the photo is already uploaded and saved. Very weird...

Maybe I will send them a message. It's been like that for a while tho.

This is pretty retarded... after 5, 6 minutes it still sits there at 99%...

use flickr's uploading program instead. http://www.flickr.com/tools/uploadr/ works fine for me windows xp or mac.
