Can't upload photos from Mac usin Firefox or Safari

[Ian G.]

I've been unable to upload photos from My Mac using either Firefox or Safari. It displays a red [!] when using the advanced upload button, and the basic one has no buttons at all to do the upload... I've only been able to do it by running a Windows VM and then doing it in IE. I didn't have this truble before the current upgraded look/feel on the forum. I see some other threads where folks say they are using Firefox successfully. Is his a known issue with a solution, or does the site just not work using a Mac?

Image upload testlogo_ITCAP.png using Safari on my Mac mini....

I've pressed the Upload icon, then selected the From Computer tab, pressed the Basic Uploader link in the right lower corner. Then pressed the Select File button and then after selecting the file clicked on the text Upload File(s) and that inserted the image in this posting just fine. I agree the link Upload File(s) doesn't stand out very well but once you find it it did work on my Mac...

Thanks for responding Rob,

For whatever reason I don't get an OK button on the basic uploader, only the "from URL" loader... and the advanced uploader throws the error. It worked one time with the basic uploader when I was clicking around and hitting return in frustration. I'm using Safari 5.1, Firefox 10 and on Lion (OSX 107). I'm guessing the java version on Lion is incompatible with the website. Are you on OSX 10.6 (or maybe even 10.5)?

Ian,

There is no OK button on the Basic Uploaded screen, only a clickable link Upload File(s)

I agree with you this is not very obvious but it does do the job...

Note: I tested with the OSX 10.6 version. I've upgrade yesterday evening to Lion so I? can try again later today if it works under this OS version as well...

OK, I see the link is the "button". that is kinda bizarre frankly. If this is NCRS webmaster design, you guys should change that to a button. It didn't even look like a link for me, no blue color, underline or anything, just a label... Thanks for your help!

Not our design otherwise we would have made it more obvious!
