Bulk Uploading:

The Upload Applet and Gallery Remote can be used for uploading many pictures at once, they are not covered in this guide, but you can find information on how to get Gallery Remote running here. You can alternatively zip up all your pictures and use the normal upload method to get them all published to your gallery at once.

Formats:

The gallery supports the following picture formats: gif, jpeg, png, tiff, tga, bmp, ps, pcd, psd, svg, pdf.
The following audio formats: wav, mp3, wma, aif, midi, au.
And the following video formats: flv, mp4, mpeg, mov, asf, avi, wmv.
There is a 8mb limit on how much you can upload at once, and a 7mb limit per file. The upload-at-once limit is ignored if you use the Upload Applet or Gallery Remote.

You will find the media AnonSA users have uploaded here.
