Comment:

 Thanks for the quick response!

 OK this is weird, I just logged into my site and I was going to deactivate
 all my plugins one at a time to see what was causing this. Before doing
 that, I thought I would go ahead and try the image uploader one more time
 and this time it worked???

 I know this sounds like a neewb issue, but I assure you I have experience
 with wordpress. I did some troubleshooting yesterday ...deactivated a few
 plugins I thought may be likely suspects but nothing changed. It was not a
 disk space issue, I could upload fine via FTP. I do not use the default
 theme, but it was not a theme issue either. I checked the "upload"
 directory's file permissions and changed them from 755 to 777 and back
 again and that didn't seem to do anything.

 Since everything worked OK on my other wordpress sites, I assumed there
 was a plugin in this one that caused this. But it only started after the
 4.0 update.

 The only thing I can think of is the server cache may have not been
 completely cleared after deactivating and reactivating some plugins, and
 this morning it was cleared and all worked.

 Anyway, everything seems to be back to normal now.
