@Dave and @ RVR, thanks for your comments. Facebook is planning to pay Hollywood $3 millions per episode or show in order to attract or retain Facebook audiences aged 12 years to 35 years old.

The writing is on the wall. The good old days of Facebook are coming to an end. Companies start spending millions when their financial advisers sense that their competitors are chipping away their customers or users.

Some will argue that there is no evil or nothing wrong in making money! However, open source applications like Elgg will continue to serve online users better than profit geared applications that have been designed solely for making money for shareholders while forgetting that the best way to give back to community is to design applications that are open to the public that will spark young or new minds to greater imagination, innovation, and revolutionary ideas.

Fun cheerleading, but don't live in fantasy. Look at these active user trends. It's literally a Supreme Court protected utility in the U.S.

I don't know what the temporary files repertory - repository(?) - is supposed to be. I never came across such an error message and don't think such an error message even exists in Elgg core. Can you post the exact and complete text of this error message or a screenshot of it? Does only the uploading of files fail or does the same problem occur for example when uploading an image to be used as profile image?

First of all, have some patience. Not cool posting here, sending me two private messages and an email.

I don't know what the problem is offhand, but my guess would be a container mismatch. Make sure the page owner is correctly passed to the embed lightbox. Maybe there is a plugin that does something weird, messes with javascript or else. Make sure everything works in a vanilla install with non-bundled plugins disabled, if you can identify the culprit, I can look into it further, otherwise it's just treading water.
