Is anyone else having trouble uploading pictures tonight? Not sure if it is just me or if there is an issue with the site. I get some kind of runtime error. I really wanted to post yet again about my cat, but it absolutely needs a picture! 
Edit 2/18: Error seems to be fixed...at least for the moment...since I was able to upload this picture of my adorable kitty. :)

Hmm not sure why I can't. I even tried switching over to Internet Explorer, which I hate, but I can't get the site to work at all with it. Weird.

@fluffysue Maybe you can try clear the cache and try again.

I saw another discussion this evening where @kevin1877uk mentioned he's having trouble uploading images. It seems to be affecting a number of the users who responded there, too. There was some issue with images not showing up the other day, so this may be an extension of that.
@myLotBugs might be able to give us a bit more information on the matter.

Thanks, now that you mention it, I remember someone didn't see one of my pics the other day...then they did later...I guess something is going on with pictures on Mylot...

Thank you for the mention, maybe it's a glitch and it will be sorted out soon.

I also got a runtime error. Maybe it's the file size, I really didn't check that, but it hasn't been an issue before. I'll have to try a different one later.

It's the 14th today, and I am having this issue today too.
It won't let me add a picture to my post. I get a page of rubbishy looking garbage that says runtime error. My article still seems to have been posted, without the picture, though, and it seems that it was posted multiple times, because I also tried to resubmit my article from different browsers too.
The system must be experiencing problems. Let's hope someone fixes it soon.

@innertalks Yes, I was trying to upload JPEG but it didn't work. I thought maybe the one I had chosen was too large.

I think I have this worked out now. It is only pictures with the png extension, not those with a jpg one, that are causing the problem. I just added a jpg picture instead of the png one, and it loaded up just fine, just now. I deleted the other multiple copies of the article.
This is a jpg photo. I just tried to add it here. Nope, the jpg photo did not load here either, I got a run-time error, it loaded on my other article though, the problem must be selective or something. What a stuff up. What a headache for us writers.

@fluffysue Yes, that could sometimes be the reason, but I always resize my photos before loading them up, and I am still having this problem, but not all of the time, only sometimes. Maybe it depends on how heavily the site is being used at the time too. It might be getting overloaded at times.

It's good it's fixed, I hope it doesn't pop up ever again, it's annoying. I will try to add a photo here myself. It worked!
That is a lovely cat, and thanks for posting its photo.
