Hamish, I don't know if this will help you, but I am trying to learn how to use the new gallery and post what I am learning here.

I have not had any problem uploading pictures from photobucket, but all my pictures were under 500K which seems to be some kind of maximum limmit.

I only see my own album when I click on the album option. I don't know if anyone else has made an album yet.

I'm going to keep fooling with it. This is the only practical way for me to upload pictures, so I will keep working with it. I only have three kilt pictures though.
