Having Trouble Posting Pictures
When I try to upload pictures the upload freezes at the 90% mark and then will not continue. What has changed?

How many pictures are you attempting to upload? What size, file size wise, are they? Have you attempted to upload less content in one session? Speed will be determined by your ISP's upload rate as well as factors beyond and between you and CorvetteForum's servers. What browser are you using and what extensions and security software are you using?

After having trouble uploading multiple large files I first tried a single picture, then I tried taking screen shots of the pictures and then editing them down to file sizes between 250 and 600 KB. I am still having trouble with those size pictures even one at a time. Sometimes they will upload but most of the time they stop at 90%. Sometimes it takes multiple attempts before they upload. All pictures above 1 MB stop at 90%. Didn't used to have this problem until a few days ago. When I say stop I mean I can go do something else for 15 minutes and when I come back they are still sitting at 90%. I have previously posted pictures that are over 1 MB and sometimes 2 MB with no issues.
Several months ago I posted two pictures showing pages from the factory service manual that provided the description of how something operated. The other day the same question arose and I couldn't find the previous thread to use as a reference so I tried to upload those same two files again. Never got there, 90% on the first file and that was it.

I see your album has 10 pictures uploaded from this morning. All pictures that you attach to a message are stored in the album, which is normal and has been the case since the new uploader was released over a year ago. What might help us, in addition to knowing what browser you're using, is if the pictures that stop uploaded at 90% are in fact in your album. The uploader does several tasks in the background to make things work, so knowing the failure point will help. For example, does it failure before the pictures are actually uploaded to the album or does it fail getting the URL from the album into the message field.
I do see you have a few pictures uploaded over the past few days that appear corrupt, as far as thumbnail wise:

Notice some thumbnail images are cut-off. That's probably not your issue but instead on CorvetteForum's side. So will investigate but the above information will also help.
Thanks.

I am using the Google Chrome Browser and both of my computers have Win 10 installed with all of the latest updates. I am confused I don't see the album you are talking about. I see where I have made pdf attachments but no album with pictures I have previously attached to a message.

My Post Pictures Album is the album where all your uploaded pictures go to when you attach them to a Post. Each member will have their own where their uploaded pictures are stored. When a picture is uploaded to a post, they are stored in the user's album and then "hot-linked" in the post. This has been the case for some time. Because there are different processes occurring when someone uploads, it's important to know where the failure point is so that the issue can be more quickly and accurately addressed.

Some of the recent Post Pictures made it into the post but not all of the ones that are shown as being uploaded. Looking at the table of pictures of the first 13 starting at top left only 2 actually made it into a post. The others were where the system indicated it had stopped at 90% and I finally quit trying. Interesting the system is indicating in this album section that they inserted into posts. Check post number 7 in this thread and you can see the two pictures that made it into the post while the album shows how many I tried uploading.
Check post number 5 in this thread and you will see where I comment at the bottom that I can't post pictures of the harness setup I have. The 14th picture shown in the album as uploaded 16 hours ago is the one that wouldn't upload to the post. Got to 90% and quit. I tried a bunch of times and then gave up. Pictures 12 and 13 didn't make it into the post I wanted to put them in either.
Something is amiss with the forum software.
