I have a problem using one of the features of photopost. The software is finally working great. So, I tried to use the "Additional Fields" to add some "Extra Text Fields". But, when I do that, I can no longer upload to any category, that has these "Extra Text Fields"

I get this error, if a category has additional fields. This ONLY happens on categories that have these "Additional Fields". I have removed them and the upload problem goes away. I have added them to different categories, and the problem follows the category that has these additional fields.

Any clues why using "Additional Fields" causes the "Upload Photos" function to fail?

Update: I am specifically referring to the "Extra Text Field #1*:" items and NOT "Add new field types".

When I enter "Extra Field Names", I can no longer upload photos to those categories, until I remove those "Extra Text Field" labels.

Update #2 (further debugging)

Ok, two situations.

1) When I upload, without any "Extra Text Field" info, the sequence is this, on the location bar.

"upload.php" file is executed followed by
an intermediate screen that says "Processing Image List", followed by
"Showphoto.php" file being executed and the image displayed.

But when I have any "Extra Text Fields" I get

The same "Uploadphoto.php" executed, followed by
"Preparing to Process Image List" followed by
The error shown above, with
"Bulkupload.php" in the location bar. Never gets to "Showphoto.php"

Apparently, adding these extra fields, requires an intermediate screen (or a different operation) that isn't needed, with a single photo, and no extra fields. Is this any help in figuring out why these "Extra Text Fields" prevent my ability to upload photos?

Another update (clue)

There is another situation that causes exactly the same symptom. If I try to upload 2 photos, using the multiple upload capability, I get the exact same error when the "bulkupload.php" can't complete. I believe it's supposed to put up an intermediate screen, that shows each of the photos, with filelds that are to be filled in, before actually completing the upload. That doesn't work and I get the error shown above.

The exactly same thing as what happens when I use 1 file, with "Extra Text Fields". That "bulkupload.php" apparently can't put up the screen that has these "Extra Fields".

There is a folder /uploads/userID/ that holds these photos prior to putting in the category. I have verified that the files actually make it to this folder. But the bulkupload.php program fails at sending back the form, with the "Extra Text Fields".

Any ideas now, as to what could be the problem?
