John,
I just uploaded photos with know issue, so I suspect the problem is not on the server end. Recommend you check the file size of your photos, and reduce the resolution or dimensions as necessary. If your photos are too big the server will not upload them. My experience has been that it will often appear the upload was successful, when in fact it was not if the files were too big.

Good luck!

It can often be as "simple" as renaming your photos.
You probably have them as JPEG and a lot of site only read jpg.
Same thing, but just missing a letter until you try upload them.
Go to your folder and click on view, show hidden file extensions, right click on the photo you have that you want to change, select rename and delete the e in "jpeg"
then upload again, hopefully that will work for you.

I found that they need to reduced to 800×600 pixels to go in.
