Image Uploader Broken

Hi shovenose, it sounds like you need to update the permissions for your wp-content. You can find more details on this here:

Hi shovenose, have you been able to make any progress on this issue?

Try changing the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still have problems, try 767, 775 or 777. Once your uploads are working, change the permissions on wp-content back to 755 again and check that everything still works OK.
