If you are using the pimpandhost plug-in embedded in the VEF Forum software,(the blue Browse button), you are at risk of encountering problems with galleries of more than, say, 50 images. The images will upload quite quickly, but you will then enter a "processing" loop that never ends . . . and frequently indicates twice as many images in the queue.
I'm not sure what causes that problem, other than the fact that your upload is competing for server time with all the other "anonymous" unregistered users attempting to access P&H at the same time. Also, any images that upload successfully will not appear in a gallery, and you will never be able to find them again.
The solution is to register at pimpandhost (it is free . . . just like at VEF), and begin uploading galleries under your P&H User Name. Not only will you be able to find the images at some future date, but the upload speed is usually pretty good. Sometimes when P&H is experiencing high server loads the "processing" loop can slow considerably. When this happens, and I do not want to wait to to upload 150 images, I build the gallery by uploading several batches of 30 images over the course of 5 or 10 minutes.
Sorting the gallery, and generating the 180 pixel thumbnail BB Code is also very easy. Just copy and paste the thumbnail BB Code into your post at VEF.
