So, I'm new and when I joined I go the "Your gallery folder is missing. Click the link below to fix it. Gallery folders are being added in the first few minutes of every hour."
message. I clicked the link and I've searched the forums for help but I haven't found anything useful.

According to the uploads on your FA page you were able to figure the problem out.
Due to an awkward way this part of FA was coded everyone who creates a new account on FA is greeted with this message. Clicking the link below the message does the first part of creating the gallery folder (e.g requests the creation), and the script that runs on the server at the beginning of every hour does the rest (actually creates it).
Meaning that if you created an account at 2:15PM and clicked the link to "fix" your missing gallery folder, it will be created and you'll be able to upload only after 3:05PM

I am having this issue and it has not been sorted. I've waiting for the last several hours for the problem to fix after clicking the link once every hour just in case it did not register but still unable to post images or icons.

Just a point here Aerobot, your link says your name but actually points to dormi's account. You'd probably better update that post with the correct link.

Have you also tried clearing cache to remove any older version of that page saved in your computer?

Ah, thanks for pointing that out, jayhusky. c: I've fixed it.

And yeah, my cache is actually set to clear every time I close my browser, but I tried doing it once manually just in case and still nothing. It also doesn't seem to matter what browser I'm using. I don't know how long it usually takes mods to respond to tickets, but I haven't heard anything back on that yet either.

No problem.

Hmm, well at the moment I can't think of any other ways to fix this, other than to hope an admin will respond this this or your ticket soon. Best of luck in getting it fixed.

Yep, same here. Registered about 12 hours ago and the problem was there from the start

STEPS YOU TOOK: clicked a lot, cleared cache etc., tried different browsers

UPDATE:

Yay! Problem is fixed! Perhaps it takes roughly 24 hours for some new accounts? Or maybe is was an admin intervention. Either way, thank you! :D
