   I want to allow other users to upload images into galleries. I have used Role editor to give the appropriate access.

   I have used chmod to give/check file access permissions. Even when set to 777 other users still get this message:

   Unable to write to directory . Is this directory writable by the server?

   I have read this may a file ownership issue. Any suggestions as to how I can let other non admin users upload to galleries.

   By reinstalling 1.8.4 I can get the functionality back, so looks like a bug introduced by 1.9.0 or 1.9.1

   I found the problem in function upload_images
   located in wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/admin/functions.php

   Problem is in $gallery->abspath property. The value is missed suddenly time of time...

   I solved the problem by adding the code
   $gallery->abspath = WINABSPATH . $gallery->path;
   before first occurance
   $dest_file = $gallery->abspath . '/' . $filename;
   in the function's code.

   May be helpful for you too! ))

   Thanks for this fix.

   I've also found that in updates since 1.8.4 that using the flash upload does not work for non-admin posters, though they have permission. It says "HTTP: Error".

   Any fix for this?

   Thank you.
