(Shameless plug time: I work at Acquia, surrounded by the developers of Drupal Gardens.) If you want a Drupal 7 site with working image uploads (and galleries) out of the box, Drupal Gardens can probably help you: Go to drupalgardens.com and sign up. Create a site and make sure you have "image galleries" checked on the template page. And now you have a Drupal 7 site with image uploads working. Here, I took a few minutes and built you an example: http://mechfishflickr.drupalgardens.com http://mechfishflickr.drupalgardens.com Now for the kicker: If at any point you don't want to keep your site running on drupalgardens.com -- perhaps because you feel the need to hack directly on the code, or because you really, truly need one of the 6,794 other Drupal modules that aren't yet supported on Gardens -- there is an "Export" option on the "My sites" page which you can use at any time to download the code, files, and database in a big tarball. Then you can install it on your local LAMP stack or upload it somewhere else.
