i was quite a few drinks deep last night when i read this post and i had to read it 3 times...and it still didnt make sense......i was amazed rod decoded it.

I got your PM.....this might help:
go to the gallery section.
Click "Create / order my albums"
Click "New"
Give your album a name then click "Apply Modifications"
Now heres the part I hate and I still need to fix it.....
Roll over the "@" in the tool bar (its between "Album List" and "Last Uploads")
A sub menu drops down and click "Upload File"
Put a number in the box to the right of "File upload boxes" .....5 is a good number
Browse to the images you want to add and lick "Continue"
It should say the file(s) were uploaded successfully....click "Continue"
In the drop down menu box, select the album you want to put the image in, then click "Continue" ....you will have to do this for each image you upload.
I really dont like how uploading a file to the gallery is so complicated....One day when I get some downtime, I will look into a way to make it a little more easier.
Let me know if this helps.
