New photo uploader

Today we are launching a brand new photo uploader for your Meetup photo albums! The original Java based photo uploader had issues with freezing, crashing, network timeouts, and was simply not reliable. The new uploader is based on a Flash application named SWFUpload and coupled with many other improvements, should make the entire process of uploading photos from your Meetups much less painful.

We also took this opportunity to increase the max you can upload at any one time from 50 to 500 photos (which is also the max number of photos per album).

Some things to remember:
1. Photo albums can have up to 500 photos
2. Photos are limited to 10MB and must be JPEG, GIF, or PNG format

Thanks!
