Uploading picture problems

Okay, I've already been to the help section. Has anybody else had a problem uploading pictures to this website? The error that pops up is 503 backend fetch failed.

I don't have any problems uploading photos to this forum from my Photobucket account.

I've never needed a photo bucket account before. Looks like I might need to go that route.

No problem with a quick direct picture upload.

What type of file extension and what size?

Just pictures I've taken with my iPad and iPhone. The size of one picture is 375kb. It worked in the past.

I had the same problem. This is new. I was able to upload before, but not now.

Well, it could be our iPads, especially if you just upgraded to the latest iOS, like I just did.

I just uploaded the photo above using my iPad with the iOS8 and the IB forum app.

Worked fine.

If you aren't currently using the App, you could try it, else, try logging out and then back in again.

It's fixed. I had to power off my iPad then restart it for the latest fix. I think it's 8.0.2
But it works now. Check your devices for the update.

I just successfully uploaded a picture using the Web app with my iPad air running iOS 8.0. My problem is and has always been trying to upload multiple files it just doesn't work. Talon do you have any advice for that? I will give it one more shot on this post.
