I am no longer able to upload more than one file at a time.
When I enter more than one file and press the process button at the bottom, it starts processing, but never ends. If I close the session and restart Armorama the files are not loaded.
If I upload only one file at a time everything works fine.
Any Help would be appreciated.

No new camera.
I am aware of the file size limitation.
I reduce them to around 600 and even with only 2 files not over 1.2M total I still get the never ending process.
I have tried both the browsers Firefox and MS Edge. I get the same result from both.

Hai Tom,

Unfortunately, I can't help you.

The kitmaker gallery is totally outdated qua size and functionality. In fact, it appears as it has never been deccently integrated in the site. Even as a subscriber you only get 500MB what comes down to 250 pictures these days (unless when you manually adapt the size of the picture to screen dimensions).

Many users years ago escaped to photobucket until recently, photobucket had enough of storing and publishing (and paying for the servers and bandwidth) the picture content of other sites and closed this option.

I asked Staff-Jim if he was planning a solution for a new gallery system inside Kitmaker, linked to the forum, but I have not received a clear answer. Possibly, the massive storage capacity needed for a picture gallery is also too expensive for Kitmaker.

Some of us are now using Imgur or google photo but these services may also shut down one day due to cost considerations of the owners which leads to all your contributions on kitmaker being lost.

For that reason, I don't want to apply that solution.

The annoying consequence is that I am not able to present my work anymore on the forum.

Hi Tom

Staff_Jim is in the middle of a rework of Kitmaker's photo uploading system for Content material (i.e. Reviews and Features etc.), so this may also be impacting on the Gallery (sorry, I don't know for sure if that's the case).

Keep an eye open for updates from Jim.

All the best

Staff_Jim would do the site, the users, and in the long run himself a favour by communicating what can be expected instead of keeping everybody guessing

I'm sure this same issue has come up before, but I couldn't find the thread. Have you tried with Internet Explorer as well?

Tried internet explorer.
Same result, but a different problem.
After press the process button, the system does appear to upload them, but when the page appears that says you will be transferred to your page, or press here if you are tired of waiting. the system responds with an MS error of no file found. This happens either way.
After I restart the kitmaker site and go to my photos, the multiple uploads do not appear in my gallery.

Hm. The thread before on this issue may be in one of the staff forums I no longer have access to. Usual thing here is to question if there is anything else that changed since you were last able to do multiple uploads?
