...then it is because your Description field has more text than it can handle.

The solution is to use a small amount of placeholder text in the description field, submit it, then edit your entry and put your full description in. At that point it doesn't complain about the size of the text.

Hopefully this will be fixed in version 2.0 of the gallery software (supposed to be available any day now).

Just as a note:

I just tried this, putting in a small placeholder, and then editing. It did post the pic, but when I edited to put in the rest of the description I'd meant to, it gave me the ZERO_SIZED error again.  I re-edited and took out a couple of lines, and then it was fine. 

Is there anything that actually specifies the current word or character limit on descriptions?

No, there isn't. I think I'm going to go talk to the gallery creators, see if they can help me on this one.

If editing the description won't work; I put the rest of the info that I wanted to go with the drawing in the first reply on the picture.
