The policy also states not to put the test user account in the admin group. Since admin is the only group that has access to the batchadd feature and the batchadd feature is what I'm having trouble with having access to a test user account wouldn't assist supporters in diagnosing this problem. I will list a test user account in the next post.
That's not what we're asking for. We're asking for a non-admin test user account to look into http uploads first. What exactly we do with the account is none of your business - we don't have to explain what we do to provide support. If you would know or understand what we did, you wouldn't be asking for support. The upload troubleshooting says that you need to follow the steps to a T even if the issues you have are related to another upload method:
Asking for support on upload issues
When asking for support on the coppermine forum, post a link to your site and a test user account (the test user mustn't be in the admin group!) with upload privileges, with the above mentioned settings in place - this way, supporters can see the error messages as well. Do not post debug_output unless requested. If you want fast results, you should disable admin approval for the group the test user is in, so supporters can tell instantly what is wrong without needing to double-check.
When people have issues with uploading and decide to post their question on the Coppermine support board, they usually are told to read this upload troubleshooting section. Many of them fail to do so properly, which results in frustration both for users as well as supporters. To make this absolutely clear: the above mentioned steps are absolutely mandatory, no matter what skill level you have, no matter what upload method you have troubles with. Failing to do exactly as suggested will result in your request for help being ignored. Yes, this applies to you. We mean it!

However, you ignored the most important part of my reply:
Attempting to hijack someone else's thread is not a bright idea, start a thread of your own, doing exactly as suggested in the docs, section "asking for support on upload issues".
Why do you continue to clutter this thread, which is not yours, instead of doing as suggested. Your behaviour is rude and selfish - you're drawing attention from the issue of the thread starter to your issues, which is just rude. Stop it: do not reply to this thread any more. This thread belongs to ib2loud! After typing this reply I figured out that you already have
a thread of your own. You just have wasted a lot of time and energy, which is just lame.
