upload failed

This is a mod_security problem with some servers and how they are setup. If you are using the flash uploader and getting a 403 error you will need to do the following in the .htaccess file

SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off

If someone can specify every file that the flash uploader is used with I believe you can specify that the security is only turned off for those files. My phocagallery is now happily uploading

This sounds promising and I plan on trying it. Thank you very much for your response. When you say "mod_security problem with some servers", do you mean my hosting company? If so, how would I instruct them to resolve the issue?

It is a setting on the apache server and would affect ALL sites that are on that server. If you are using shared hosting they will most likely not change the setting.
