I’ve got a similar problem on my 3.51 WP site, but only if I use Internet Explorer (ver 9). If I use the Chrome or Firefox browser(both latest versions) on my Win7 PC, I can click the “Select Files” button and properly select & upload to my heart’s content.

But I’ve apparently got something in my IE configuration that isn’t happy with WP’s file upload method. I’ve updated my FLASH to the current version, even upgraded to their beta version, but no changes.

I can do it fine with same version of IE 9 on my laptop computer (also running Win7), just not on my desktop.

FYI, this “quirk” happens on all 11-12 of my WP sites, from this one computer, so it’s not WP per se, and not this one site per se. The only thing in common is this IE 9 browser on this particular computer.

I’m looking forward to seeing if the moderator or other users come up with a solution for resolving this quirk. ??

After I upgraded to 2.8, I noticed a problem when I uploaded more than about 2 dozen photos intended to be used in a Gallary. I had a post with 57 photos, and during the phase when it opens up, inventories and builds the list, I get a message saying something about a script running that is stalling out IE8 and if I kept running it, it would eventually freeze IE 8. So I click cancel and it lets me move on. But everytime I open that list to change a caption, or to select an individual photo to insert, there is about a 10 second pause while this unknown script runs, then I get the error message. Once I click to end the script, I can click on ‘show all’ so that I can go down the list adding captions. But if I hit the ‘update’ button to save my changes, it pauses that same 10 seconds.

Other related items… I can be working on a list of photos, and accidently click outside the working window, and poof! it disappears and I see the dashboard window inside the small images working window and now way to get back.

Looking foward to the patched version. Love WordPress however, but now I understand why some sites are stil at 2.71.
