Thank you for your response hatman12
it  got back to normal for me too but anyhow I noticed my uploaded files were double,I mean  there were two of each file,so  I tried to remove only copy files but when tick the delete tab for  double both files were removed so  I removed it all and I am going to try some other time.
I don't know if it was my fault or not.
btw I used fireftp ,which works fine with other sites.

i've been on 123 for a while and was never able to use ftp. I've always used their http uploader.  FTP connects but can't access the default directory. Access is denied

Sales there has been very good lately

I simply can't upload anything this week.  I've checked out the forum and 3 pages of complaints, but they haven't bothered to respond. 

Has anyone here been successful uploading to 123 this week?

Nope, second day of troubles. Isn't it strange that they do not respond on their forum when such significant hiccup occurs... no e-mail, no announcement, no ETA for a fix...

Just tried uploading again and got this message this time around

"Upload Stopped
Sorry to inform that uploads will be temporarily stopped for 2 hours to facilitate an urgent upgrade of our storage system."

Sounds to me like 123RF have run out of disk space and are in the process of adding another hard drive atm :)

I uploaded some images yesterday without any problems  and they are online. Icould't say sales are amazing but the site works well for me now.

Uploaded yesterday via browser yesterday. Today, it hangs up at the end and never finishes. And with theirs it's all or nothing.

Just tried again, worked well. Hope it's fixed and not just a fluke

They finally have a message in their forum.  If still having upload problems, send them a note with your location.  I haven't tried again yet.
