Yeah, get the same problem. Once or twice i have been able to upload direct, but 99% time it's a PB Job..
Yeah, I was thinking maybe it's a Members Privilege thing and i slipped through the net on a couple if occasions.Could it be an issue at your end? I've just gone through the process and it allowed me to select from my device.
Unless it's changed recently uploading pics direct from your device is a subscribing* member benefit; so I'm more surprised that you've had some success than a 99% failure rate.
