Yet ANOTHER New Problem - Can No Longer Upload an Image with 64 Bit IE9

I've been uploading images as part of forum posts successfully for weeks using IE9 64 bit, set for Compatibility View.

Suddenly, starting yesterday, using the little camera icon with IE9 64 bit, when I hit the [Browse] button, the entire IE window just disappears, losing the response in progress!

Doing the exact same thing in IE9 32 bit works, and brings up the dialog with which to select a file.  So now the workaround is that I must use the 32 bit IE to access this site.

Nothing is changing on this end.  No new Add-ons, no config changes.  Cache has been cleared to no avail.  Nothing appears in the Windows event logs.

Can you folks please try a little harder to settle this forum software down?  It's getting rather frustrating to have features just keep dropping out like this.

-Noel

    On a bit more investigation, it appears a change was made to set the default location for the File - Open dialog now to "Desktop".  I say this because the 32 bit version now opens to that location every time - opposed to defaulting to the last place files were attached from, which makes MUCH more sense.

    So even with the 32 bit IE, when it does work, I have to do more navigating to get to the same place from which I insert images every time.

    Why was such a change made?

    Please change it back.

    -Noel

    That is a browser preference, not a preference set by some site through

    HTML. If you are unable to get this configured properly you need to ask

    in a Microsoft IE forum.
