iPhoto won't upload to My Photo Stream

Question

iPhoto won't upload to My Photo Stream

iPhoto 9.4.2
My Photo Stream enabled
- Automatic Import enabled
- Automatic Upload disabled
Shared Photo Streams enabled

Photosteam download works.

Since I don't want to stream all my photos all the time, I have Automatic Upload disabled. But occasionally I want to put something on the stream, and I follow any of the recommended ways to share (e.g. Share, Photo Stream, My Photo Stream). No messages of any sort, assume it worked? Try it again, "already shared in Photo Stream". Great, but the picture never shows up in My Photo Stream on any of my other devices.

Just for fun, created a shared photo stream -- and I can share my pictures just fine with that.

Clearly a bug - anyone else?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.6)

ANd does it show up in the Photo Stream on your Mac? Have you tried just dragging a photo to the PS in iPhoto?

It does not show in in Photo Stream on my Mac or anywhere else. Dragging a photo has the same effect: nothing the first time, "already shared" the second time, and the photo never shows up anywhere.

When I said,

I meant, "I'm an idiot". It shows up, in time sequence, not at the end of the photostream. I just didn't look back far enough in the stream to see them.
