So here goes.
CREATING A NEW GALLERY
---Important: Make sure you're allowing JavaScript on ImageFap.---
Start with the "Upload" link (framed in red in the picture linked below):
You should be able to see it at the top of most pages that aren't in the Forums or Chat. Your Profile page is a good place to look.
At the first pull-down menu, the one with the prompt "I want to," select "add a new gallery".
Name your gallery -- you can edit this later.
Click the checkbox for "Public" if you want other folks surfing ImageFap to see it. This also ensures your gallery is included in the site's main Gallery list.
In the scrolling box for Categories, pick the three that are most appropriate for the (better number of) pictures you will be uploading. This also ensures that people surfing the site's main Gallery list will be able to find it when they refine their browsing or searching to certain categories.
There will be two links further down: "Continue to web upload" and "Continue to mobile upload." There are brief explanations above each link. (If you're uploading by way of your Web browser, use the "web upload.")
The next page shows 2 yellow rectangles. The first (and larger) one states the gallery posting rules ImageFap does in fact enforce. The second (and smaller) describes what can be uploaded, and what the maximum file length for .zip, .jpg or .png is.
Below that should be a slim, light-grey rectangle and a button labeled Browse to the right of it. Click on Browse, and navigate to either the first picture or first .zip file of pictures you want to make into a gallery. Clicking the "Open" button in your operating system's standard Open dialog will print the path to the JPEG, PNG or ZIP, with the file included, in that slim grey rectangle. At this point, another pair (box and button) should show up below it. Repeat the above until you have finished Browse-ing the files.
If you should make a mistake and choose the wrong file in a folder, or the wrong ZIP archive, the Reset button below will reload the page you're seeing and remove every printed entry in the box-and-button pairs. (Reset is kind of a "Do-Over.")
And of course, next to Reset is Upload. This should bring up a progress bar below which will be the customary lines showing how much of the file or files is/are uploading to ImageFap, at what rate (in kilobytes per second), the elapsed time and the estimated time before completion of the upload. The upload rate will depend on the level of your Internet service -- 2 TB up/down will of course be faster than ordinary 512K DSL -- and the amount of "traffic" -- how many other members are uploading -- that the ImageFap upload server is handling at a particular time of day.
When the progress bar is full, there may be a pause of up to a minute before the next page loads. This will have "Processing Uploads" both in the title-bar of your browser and somewhere towards the upper-left corner of the browser window, in bold. Each line that appears below the latter should have an icon in black and green (I still can't puzzle out what it's supposed to be), the reference number ImageFap's servers assign to every image (the "ImageFap name"), the name as it appeared in the previous window with the Browse buttons etc., its filesize -- ImageFap's uploader does a quick open-and-re-save of all JPEGs, PNGs and animated GIFs, so the size in this list will very likely be different from the size that appears in your Explorer (or Finder, Nautilus, Dolphin or Konqueror) window -- the date and time (by the IF clock), and the words "Successfully uploaded". When Processing Uploads is finished, you should see a link below the list of files labeled "Continue to your gallery". Click on it.
The first page of thumbnails will then load. If you uploaded more than 24 pictures, you will see a (2) link at the bottom center, by which you can navigate to the second page of thumbs. From here it's the same as surfing any gallery you may have seen already here on ImageFap.
Hope some of this was helpful.
