So when is the bug for uploading photos going to be fixed. Currently when you try and upload, for a millisecond it shows the browse menu then goes straight Media files.
Also considering all the bugs on here perhaps a cut and copy feature for the text you write into the body of the story should be added, because there are times I press publish only to have everything disappear never to be found again. This was you can paste your comments into word and paste it in later if this happens again, resulting in the frustration of having to type everything again into the message body.
Merry Christmas everyone.

I’ve always had that problem. I now do everything in MS Works then copy and paste, then I go to any letter on the story or comment, hit the backspace to delete the letter, then re-type the letter and it always works. If I don’t do this it always disappears.

If you click on the button that says 'Media files' does nothing happen?
Is it tagging your're having the issue with Barry, or Adobe Flash?

No, the problem is when I go to add a photo, the Now Public Browse menu shows up for a millisecond and then goes straight to upload media files. No matter what I do it will not stay in browse long enough for my mouse pointer to hit it.

Hit the button that says 'upload media files' and the browse menu should appear - I think I know what you are talking about...

I am having the SAME PROBLEM. On some computers, like the library, the BROWSE FILE boxes and buttons to BROWSE come up and STAY.
On other computers, such as my laptop, NO WAY. the screen clears, then lags, then the six file upload boxes appear, then ZAP they disappear and the MEDIA button comes up, which when pressed does NOTHING.
I am really pissed, because BEFORE A MONTH OR SO AGO, this was NOT A PROBLEM on any of my computers or browsers, FireFox worked, so did OPERA and so did I Explorer on every computer I have used in the past year.
NOW, without my having changed any settings on my system and browsers, it's all messed up and has cost me about FORTY HOURS of wasted time, trying to skip from one computer to another to get back the functionality we all had just about 30 or 40 days ago.
NOWPUBLIC changed their CODE some how and screwed us all up !!
REVERT back to the previous code NowPublc, until you fix the problems your new code is hitting us all with.
It seems like the FLASH code may be new and require a version or start up some autoload thing that DOES NOT WORK on every system and browser combination.
A MANUAL ALTERNATIVE UPLOAD PHOTO METHOD WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED UNTIL YOU FIX THIS ANNOYING LOSS OF USE FOR US ALL.

That's most likely because the Flash has been updated on the library machines, but not on the laptop.
