I just thought I'd post this here as it might help others.
I've spent several days trying to get the admin section and the post images page of PhotoQ to work. The problem was that the AJAX/Javascript wouldn't load for PhotoQ and the Robots Meta plugin. Everything else was working.
I just couldn't figure out what made it out of whack. Upgraded everything, reinstalled everything, did the plugin dance, hunted through the database, basically flipped every switch there is in wordpress.
The problem turned out to be with Gears which I had installed a long time ago. Google said my version was working and up to date but I reinstalled anyway and ta-da: PhotoQ was back to normal.
