When I go to upload a new image either by uploading or importing, it says the upload was successful but no picture shows up in the album, only a white square. If I put in a description that's in the square but otherwise just a small white square.
if you right click on the picture, click properties, what does it say for the source filename? is the file there?
sounds like a thumbnail generation problem, or it's not linking correctly, try your gallery does it do the same thing? when you check the filename by right clicking -> properties in the gallery is the location right? file exits?
