    You aren't replicating a problem, you are creating the problem, that's the point! SmugMug has said "here are the things that we support and that work with our system" and you are saying "but these things I choose to use you don't support and they don't work". Well no kidding genius.

    Stop complaining. Stop making up nonsense. If you did things according to their requirements, you wouldn't have issues. You wouldn't call up Chrysler and get mad at them because a Chevy engine doesn't link up right in their cars so why are you constantly going on and on when Smugmug (Chrysler) doesn't make an exception for you (Chevy)?
    At this point, you're the problem. Obviously, you don't know much about diagnosing things, or about being cordial.

    Since you don't have the balls to call me up and have this discussion one-on-one, you're just a standard dime-a-dozen troll. Since you will not stop your personal attacks that are irrelevant to this topic, I have reported your post. Good day.

    Please see Onethumb's post here

    And then try Chrome, to eliminate FF as the possible problem - thanks.
    I saw that. Good to know how the process works. thumb.gif Definitely brings the browser's implementation of HTML5 into the picture. FF can be a real memory hog as jfriend discovered, and I'm sure it's the same case here.

    I've downloaded a portable version of Chrome, but haven't had time to try it. I'll report back my findings.

    There is - but not in Firefox - if you try Chrome or Safari, you will see the progress bar. It's a Firefox limitation, I'm told. I wish I had a better answer :(

    Ahh...thanks Andy. Maybe that's why I was confused with the progress bar. I remember seeing it and then not but around the same time. I use XP at work and use a Mac at home.

    Anyway, I didn't want to let this thread get out of hand and wanted to just figure out the problem, but if the HTML5 has limitations, it would just be good to make it known. I'm just still not sure why no one else is able to duplicate it in a normal way. I can each time at work. Maybe I'll download FF on my Mac and give it a whirl but my home connection is slow. That's why I do it at work on the windows machine.

    anyway, since the thread isn't really going anywhere, feel free to lock it. Not a fan of threads turning into arguments.

    Have you tried Chrome on the work system? And if you can't install software, try a portable version on a flash drive:

    I'd be curious to see if this solves the problem.

    Actually, we're now adding the progress bar so it appears in FF4+, stay tuned.

    Here's another data point... I can't upload my 400MB .mpg with HTML5 uploader either
    getting "Upload in Progress" forever, no status bar

    Windows XP, FF 5.0, two different computers, I let it run overnight, same message in morning ("Upload in Progress")

    appears to be uploading successfully now with Java uploader, status bar working, 2.44Mb/s, about half way done now...

    I'd try Chrome as Andy suggested. I think FF's implementation of memory use causes the problem.

    Recently updated? Looks like from Chrome, the progress bar is 'back' or I see it now, and uploads actually finish!!! I'm hoping there was an update to show for the change rather than me going crazy.
