PC World Forums: Unable to upload multiple images to PCW in Firefox 3 - PC World Forums

Last night while posting in another thread, I was unable to post more than one image in Firefox 3. I had to save the post, and then post additional images in IE7.
The upload screen is different in FF3 than in Firefox2 or IE7 which is virtually identical to FF2.

Here is the upload screen from FF3:



Note the new buttons and slightly different layout from it's predecessor FF2:



When the first image is selected there is a slightly different appearance, note the lack of the colored ring around the selection in FF3 that is present in the following image of FF2:



FF2:



Now at this point, there is not that much difference in that with only one image, there is no problem. But when you add the second and more images, there is not way to indicated which image to upload.



The problem is that there is no way to select an image. Clicking with the mouse has no effect, and attempting to use the tab to toggle between them has no effect. In short, at the current time one can apparently only upload one image in FF3. Below is Firefox 2 and the second image selected:



I do not know if this is a Firefox3 problem or a PCW problem, but I'll probably revert back to FF2 in the meantime. It's not as nice as FF3, but works better on PCW than does IE7 which is my other alternative.

This was done on two different machines, one running FF3 under Vista Home Premium and the second running FF2 under Vista Home Premium.

Hi RGreen. Yes this is definitely an issue. Aurora has already contacted Bill and Kellie. I am sure they will start working on this issue immediately.

Ya there is a problem . Though i dont use fired fox but i tried the same using it. There is infact one more problem - you cant upload more than one image to the image picker also at same time using multi-select in the browse window. It only works one by one .
I dont know the reason but there is a workaround .You can use drag and drop to insert the images, it is working but it will only give thumbnails and not full images.
Another workaround for getting full size images - first get the thumbnails in and then switch to plain text , then remove the starting address from the image and leave only the image name with (!) marks on two sides. It will enlarge. These were suggested by {user:username=AuroraDizon} in another thread which was related to Opera browser.

I submitted a bug ticket to Bill for this.

This is a bug with tinyMCE and FF3/Vista combo. It can be tracked here:
