I have also been having this or a similar problem. One of my registered users is granted access to upload pictures for our photo gallery, but it is really hit or miss as to if it will work for him. My own investigation shows similar results. At times the system seems very responsive and the files stage and upload fine. Then for no apparent reason the ability to select a file and add it to the upload list just goes away. After adding a file, only the last file displays in the list, but when I click upload not even that file gets uploaded. I have tried stopping and restarting the application from the host settings page (right at the bottom) but that has no affect. The size of the files and format does not seem to affect this problem; the exact same files will work sometimes, but not at other times (I have done rather extensive testing).
Maybe the log viewer errors could help? The log viewer sometimes shows errors that reference the gallery module, such as:
