It appears that Vphot has stopped processing images from the upload queue.

VPhot restarted

VPhot has been rebooted. Still some 500 images in the queue, but progress is being made.

Problem was a memory issue, applying pinpoint to a 70meg image.

If you are submitting large images, please plate solve before sending to VPhot. Thx.

That's very good advice for

That's very good advice for us, George.

So good that a specific prompt or requirement (e.g., "Please plate-solve images larger than 20 MB before uploading.") might merit prominent inclusion right on the VPhot Upload pages. Just a thought.
