When my iPhoto uploader wasn't working, I turned to the standard browser uploader. I was surprised to find that the java uploader was also experiencing serious ongoing issues that appear be persistent for weeks. This leaves mac users pretty much in the toilet when it comes to uploading photos.
The issue is that many photos fail to be recognized as in the uploader as thumbnails. They render as blank boxes. They actually take the normal time to upload, but still remain blank boxes once uploaded!
I tried moving the photos, renaming the photos. The java uploader was able to consistently recognize the photos as blanks. They are all standard jpgs shot by a canon elph or an iphone.

Subject: PHOTOS: fotos appear blank in uploader and on FB
User id: xxx
Description of problem: Using the java uploader (the iphoto uploader causes erros every time), when I select a folder of jpgs all shot on the same day by the same camera, a seemingly random assortment of those fotos have no thumbnails in the uploader. They take a while to upload, still, so I figured they's be ok after upload. Turns out they stay blank even after upload, but the site seems to treat them as fotos in the album. What's going on? How can this be remedied?
