Hmmm. If all is upgraded to get around the issue, then I don't understand why I'm having problems with FF... I'm now convinced it isn't WP or SWFUploader since Chrome seems to work great with it... I'll uninstall flash & and try putting 10 back in and see what happens.
Thanks for all your help. I'll let you know what happens. 2008/11/1 Austin Matzko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > On Sat, Nov 1, 2008 at 12:03 PM, Kirk M <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > True enough although I can't pinpoint the wp-testers message that states > it. > > But for what it's worth, the makers of the Flash based uploader are > supposed > > to come out with a new version of the SWF Uploader before 2.7 is > released. > > The current version is supposedly not compatible. > > The problem is that Flash 10 had security changes that invalidated the > way WordPress used to employ the Flash uploader.
