[wp-hackers] File Upload problems with Safari on Mac OS X?

[Mike Schinkel]

Hi Christopher,

Thanks but I'm not using the Flash uploader, just a simple <input type="file">.   

And yes, it's not a WordPress problem "per se" but I thought maybe there was something WordPress could potentially be doing that gets in the way that I could correct.  At least I was hoping so and hoping for an easy answer.

I don't think it's related specifically to wordpress (ha! auto correct that) however as the flash plugin has been crashing off and on for a white now.
