 * Hey all, I’ve been having some interesting issues with the media uploader…maybe
   someone can help out,
 * Here’s a screenshot of the uploader’s homescreen, with my selected file:

 * Here’s what the uploader does when I’ve clicked ‘upload’, it stays exactly like
   this permanently and does not change. However, it adds the image to the uploads
   folder that I have, however no thumbnails can be seen, and clicking “Show” on
   the right side of the image does nothing:

 * Here’s what the “gallery” section looks like. It shows the images there, I checked
   via FTP, the images are actually uploaded, however like I said above, the “show”
   button does nothing, and there’s no thumbnails for the images:

 * Any idea folks? I’ve been googling for about 2 – 3 hours so far, there’s been
   some close calls with other people’s issues and mine, but I’ve tried everything
   from .htaccess file changes, to a no-flash uploader plugin, nothing worked :(.
   The uploader even indicates in my admin section of my site “you are using the
   browser uploader”.
 * I’ve picked my head so much at this I think my brains are showing!
 * Thank you so much everyone,
    ~Brian

   GD, no luck.

 * Do you have any sort of firewalls or javascript blockers or privacy software 
   or anything like on your computer? Disable it if you do.
 * Also, if you know enough to run Firebug, then you should be able to figure it
   out. Why is that URI restricted on your computer?

 * No idea Otto, good question 🙂
 * For whatever reason, melting it to a bloody pulp and doing a fresh re-install
   did it for me…weird.
 * anywho, thanks for the reply Otto, sorry for the *very* belated response.

 * I’ve been having the same problem with the image uploader. It looks like images
   upload, but there are no thumbnails and “show” doesn’t show anything.
    I have
   tried all the steps in the troubleshooting sticky note.[http://wordpress.org/support/topic/164999?replies=1](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/164999?replies=1).
   I just updated to wordpress 2.8, and that made no difference. I’ve also asked
   my hosting service to increase the memory for PHP, but they said I need to create
   a php.ini file myself. I’m not sure if I’m tech savvy enough to do that on my
   own, so hopefully someone has a solution.
 * Otto – I don’t have any firewalls or javascript blockers turned on (or that I
   know of). I’m using Firefox and I’ve also had the same problem in Safari. I could
   run Firebug…but I don’t think I’d know how to find the problem 🙂
 * Any suggestions? I think my last resort is to re-install everything.
