A gigabyte per minute of bird pictures uploading eventually takes a toll on the servers
The forum is very slow, mostly in the evening and night hours here, but it has nothing to do with your pc or internet speed to do. It has to do with some of them flaming Google ads that shows up. It's going on at several forums and other sites. Sometimes it's impossible to write in a tread and upload.
Pat, did you ever try Nick's suggestion from this thread? Every once in a while I clear my cookies which takes me back to the basic uploader. Following what Nick wrote, it resets the uploader so I can upload multiple images at once.I noticed the slowness this morning... I can only upload one photo at a time but that has been an issue for a long time now.

I've only seen the basic uploader for quite awhile now. I haven't had time to look into why. I just tried something and it worked. On Chrome, click on the lock icon at the left end of the address bar. Look for flash in the list that comes up. Set it to 'allow'. Mine was set to 'ask', but it never asked. Looks like its working now. On Firefox there was a plugins icon next to the lock on the address bar and I had to click and enable Flash. The icon went away after I enabled it, so I guess it was just a message. Firefox is now working too.
