   Hi Kevin,

   try to contact your hosting provider and ask if they can increase your upload max size for you

   this is a know issue in WP for media content, not really a theme issue;

   We were constantly having this issue on 1&1 Servers. Tried every trick and macgyver out there to tweak WordPress and nothing worked. The problem ended up being the images. From what I can tell, when we tried to upload multiple higher res images it caused the server to kick out a memory error because it was trying to resize the images and didn't allocate enough memory to do it. It's not like host is about to fork out more memory allocation for your site. The fix was resizing all images to 640 x 480 before posting. Hasn't happened since and we can now load up to 15 images simultaneously with each listing.

   Hope this helps save somebody else from a lot of aggravation.
