Ah yes, I had the same problem, I know what to do...

Don't click "add picture" at the top, click the one at the bottom along the grey bar... Worked for me  :D

I've tried that, trying different buttons on the main gallery and mygallery. Checked mygallery settings and there doesn't seem anything there. Even checked out the help button  :o

It might be a permissions thing and as you are admin, things will work for you but not for us mere mortals ???

Off the Support Forum:

The ezGallery is a great feature for your Forums enabling you to upload your own pictures which this guide will explain.
Guide from www.CFcoding.createaforum.com


First off - go to Admin>Gallery>Gallery Configuration>Click Install and Enable ezGallery.
After doing so, go back to the Gallery Configuration.
You may edit all options in Features + Layout to your liking. Another extensive guide will be made in the future regarding Gallery Configuration.

Now you should make a Category *Or you may use the default Member's Gallery which you could edit*
Add a title (ex. Gallery), add a gallery icon *if you wish*, a description, etc.

Once you have added your Category, click on the "Gallery" button and Click on the gallery you have just made.

From here you will see two bars on the bottom:

Pages: [X]
Bulk Add Pictures  Add Sub Category  Add a picture  -   Return to Gallery

X - the number of pages the gallery has
Bulk Add Pictures - selecting this will allow you to add numerous pictures at the same time
Add Sub Category - allows to to add a sub category to your parent gallery
Add a picture - allows you to add A picture
Return to Gallery - returns you to the Gallery


From here you may add a picture by either clicking Bulk Add Pictures or Add a picture.
     - Title the picture
     - Choose which gallery to place it in
     - Give it a description if you wish
     - Give it keywords for others to find it easier
     - Upload the picture
     - If you wish to rotate the picture - input the amount of desired degrees to rotate it.
     - Choose if you want to be notified of any comments people leave on your picture

After the picture is uploaded you along with others should now be able to view it (based on permissions). You may view your picture, edit it, etc.

Odd, the picture I have tried to upload several times has suddenly appeared in myimages, including the ones I tried last night and this morning. Yes I did check this button several times but this is the first time images have appeared ???

But it states "Picture Not Approved" and if you go to edit the picture, you get a bit more "Your picture will not appear in the gallery to others until it is approved." - what's all this about?

This happens in mygallery and the main gallery, the pictures, to me, still not showing there, only if I press myimages.

I also note, you can not add a gallery name in the main gallery like CacheWalker Twinew 2011 :(

PS Because I tried this several times, there were at least five copies of the same photo, so have deleted them to leave two, one in mygallery and the other in the main gallery.

Did you approve it or does it take the system a while to auto approve?

It is still saying I need to approve it...

Will get tech support (Altra) to fix it tomorrow, for the moment I'll just approve them :)
