I do not think that this is a memory problem. All tests we made have always been with only one photo. Not several ones in the upload window.

All photos have been between 29KB and 129KB, so a memory issue with GD2 is very unlikely. On the same server in a different PP 5.3 install, I can upload files with 8MB and I do not have a memory issue.

No I do think that Photopost is treating an image differently, depending on whether the file exceeds the KB restrictions or not. This is the only difference when uploading the image whether it makes problems or not.

If the image is below the KB threshhold, you can go one step further in the upload process. And this one step IMHO is guilty for errors later on.

As I said before: If the image is too big in KB size, the user can not upload it, BUT he can upload another one immediately.

BUT if the same user is uploading an image that is small in KB enough, but Pixel size is not in the allowed range, Only then he will see the next screen of the upload process. And only after getting rejected on this next sreen, he will get problems later on.

It is very easy to replicate this error. You can go to my gallery and try it. I will send you the URL by mail.

File restrictions are:

Max. 130KB
Minimum 400x400 pixel
Maximum 1000x1000 pixel

1 upload with 24 hours.

So only try it with an image i.e. 350x400 pixel and 50KB and you will see what I mean.

You will first get the message that the graphic is too small and when you AFTER this try to upload another one (since your first one was too small and therefore was not accepted), you get the alert that you uploaded already within the last 24 hours an image and have no right to upload now another one.

(i changed the text of all alerts from daily upload limit to 24h)
