Did something get changed, because I can't figure out where to adjust the user role permissions. I want contributors to be able to upload files, mainly for the article header pic. Please help!!

Hi senorwakko,
According to the Codex, Contributors do not have the capability to upload files:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Contributor
I did notice that Authors have the capability to upload files. If you need to customize your roles and capabilities, you could look into using a plugin like one of these (just to name a few):
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/role-scoper/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-access-manager/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/
You can also customize the roles and capabilities in your theme's functions.php file:

Hope this helps!
Advanced Access Manager is really good.
