At the top of this page is a link for 'personal lockers.' Click on that and find your handle (user name) on the page you are taken to. That is your personal locker. Click on your name to open it. There will be a link that says 'click here to add files.' Simply click on that and, when prompted, point it to the first file you want to add. You will be given the option to add a caption.

That should be it. Repeat for as many pictures you want to add.

First, have you set up your personal locker? If not, go to the top of the page and click the purple button that says "user cp" (stands for "User Control Panel.") Then, go to the top of that page, and click "Personal Locker" -- if you haven't set one up, it will allow you to.

Once you're set up, go to your personal locker and look for the words "here" in the lines "click here to add new files in this folder." It'll actually take you to a dialogue that will give you the option of adding a new folder, or adding files to the existing one.

The rest is self explanitory. Just make sure you check the little button that will allow you to "add" files, once you've set them in the window for upload.

If you get as far as paragraph two, above, and become confused, post again, and me or someone else will help you from there.

Mix our two posts together and you have complete instructions. I saw that she had a folder in the folder page, so I figured she had one set up...

It shouldnt, Kelli. Make sure you give them enough time to "upload" to the locker. Sometimes, if you have a slow connection, this may take a while.

I get the same result. Are you sure you're allowing it to transfer the entire file? I noticed you are trying to upload a .bmp image file, and those can be really, really big. When you scan the photo, I would recommend telling the software to save the image as a .jpg. JPEGs are compressed, so they take up MUCH less space, allowing them to be transferred much faster.
