Users of the social networking website Facebook upload and share images posted to their profile pages or albums. No limit exists on the number of photo albums you can create in Facebook; however, anything from a violation of the website's terms and conditions to internal bugs on Facebook can affect your ability to create a new album.
Blocked from Uploading
Facebook blocks you from uploading photos -- either to add to an existing album or to create a new album -- if you have violated the site's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. This statement prohibits you from using potentially offensive or illegal material on your profile; this includes content from pictures, videos and words. The statement specifically restricts nudity, sexually explicit images, hate speech, excessive violence or self-harm and illegal drug use. If Facebook or another user flags previously uploaded pictures, you are blocked from uploading new pictures and are unable to create a new album until the situation is resolved and the block is lifted.
Site Maintenance
Occasionally, Facebook temporarily disables a database to execute improvements on the website. If your account is stored on one of the disabled databases, you are unable to create a new photo album or do anything else with your account. Site maintenance typically lasts only a few hours; afterwards, your account should be back up and running as before.
Clearing Old Cookies
To run Facebook optimally, you should periodically clear your browser's cache and delete old cookies. Web cookies are small files installed on your computer by certain websites you visit; these cookies help the website identify you upon return visits, making it easier to access your browsing preferences. Over time, old cookies or too many cookies can overwhelm your browser, causing it to run slowly and negatively affecting how you interact with certain websites. The steps to clear out your browser's cache and cookies vary depending on which browser you use.
Facebook Bugs
Some Facebook users have reported issues when selecting which photos to upload. Because the process of creating a new album is tied to the uploading process, problems with uploading ultimately affect your ability to create a new album. Facebook is aware of an issue where the "Select Photos" button on the uploading screen is grayed out, meaning you are unable to click on it to launch the upload. Facebook does not have a fix for this problem as of the time of publication and asks users experiencing this issue to contact the website directly.
