I see someone changed VPhot again.:-(  I'm unable to download fits files in it. Where you now have the box to "Click or drop images here" it seems to work the first time but when I have to finally upload the final image, the second time, I'm given a message (in yellow) it can't find the path. VPhot uploading was always easy, never had problems before. Please help, it wasn't broken before why fix it?

VPhot uploading issues

Alas, VPhot was broke as the uploader mechanism was dependent on Flash technology which no longer runs on browsers as of the start of year. In order to accept more than one file at a time the uploader mechanism had to be rebuilt with simpler code.

If you hit this problem again please:
- note the exact time
- grab a screen image
- send both to me ( VPhot@gasilvis.net ) along with a commentary of what lead up to the fault.
With this information I can track down and fix the problem.

Thx,
George
