Trip image upload problems

FYI

If you were having problems with the order in which photos were uploaded to a trip report, it wasn't just you.

I recently updated the 3rd-party file upload software and several people have told me about sequencing problems when uploading. After some digging, I found the new version was no longer uploading files in sequence so I had to change it to force the images to be uploaded sequentially. Should be fixed now.

Bil - I just did a little TR on Aetna and had a lot of trouble getting the vids to stick. I'm 99% sure I was putting them in correctly and I did a save before I exited but a couple were gone when I went back to preview it. Then, when I added them back in, another one would disappear. Took me several tries but I got them all there (by configuring one, then saving the TR, then adding the next and saving, etc. I don't think I was fat fingering anything so maybe you can duplicate it on your end? Continuing thanks for all you do for this site! --Jay

Jay, I'll look into the video inserts. Thanks!

Bill - one more thing - I was trying to size them @ 1100 (like I did the pics). In the process of reloading them, I downsized them to 1000 so maybe that had something to do with it?
