I find that if II try to upload multiple photographs, they will fail
so just load singularly and all's well. No idea why this should happen
but may be your problem.

photos are 9mb
I thinks its a certain mod blocking my photos as they are photos of the D5 boot
Sorted now - it was the large size that was the issue

Photos are way too big, you are asking the site to receive and process 9MB of data for every photo, which takes a lot of time and consumes vast amounts of server memory and processing power.
Just resize before uploading so the uploader doesn't time out waiting for your browser to upload data.
I can recommend this tool for Windows and I am sure there are quick tools about for MacOS and Linux too.
This tool makes a resized copy which you should then upload. As an example a "Medium" photo is around 0.15MB. Even a large is only 0.3MB. So 1/60th (or 1/30th) of the file size 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!
