Just an update. Even though I completely deleted the folders wp-admin and wp-includes from my server and then redownloaded the 2.5 version and uploaded those new folders again that didn’t seem to work for me. So I then decided to try this with the root directory files. I deleted all the root directory files from the server and then re-uploaded them from my newest 2.5 download and now the admin panel Manage->Media Library page doesn’t give me that error message that it was giving me. I can actually see the image that the user uploaded.
I haven’t tried uploading my own image yet to see if that got fixed as well. If it is fixed I’ll post back.
Another update.
I just tried uploading an image and the image uploaded just fine. But there is a new problem for me now. I was writing a test post when I tried to upload an image. I was able to select the image and everything and it did the “crunching…” thing just fine. However when I pressed the button to insert the image into my post, the window that the image upload is in went completely blank and then just sat there. The only thing I could do was to click on the “x” in the upper right hand corner to close the window but once I did that, the image of course was not inserted into my test post.
To make sure that the image uploaded I went to the Manage->Media Library and there it was. So the uploading works just fine however the user cannot insert the image into their post. This is still a problem but at least it’s a step in the right direction! 🙂
I have the same problem — image is uploaded, but insert fails. No error message, just a blank image-posting screen.
but, what is the solution???:-)
when i upload the image, i get the message “Crunching…”
Then after my browser is redirected to some another site. Ultimately the image is not uploaded.
Thanks.
I have exaclty the same problem!! Cant place the photo on a post, exactly like you described. Did someone found out what to do? Thanks!!!
Ah forgot this: tried in Firefox and IE on windows and FF in the mac
i mean, this problem:

I too am having the same problem to be honest. I get the blank, white window when I’m uploading and image which is quite frustrating.
I’ve tried FF, Safari (I’m on a Mac) and Opera without any success.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
I wonder if I can downgrade the wordpress…
Even after following this I continued to have issues. It simply wouldn’t recognise the full path of the upload directroy. My WordPress 2.6 installation is in /blog and not the root, and my images folder is not under WordPress, but at the root level. I had to leave “Store uploads in this folder” blank because it only accepts paths relative to the WP installation folder, and even though I put the full path into the next field “Full URL path to files”, it refused to actually upload files there, instead putting them in wp-content/uploads, no matter what I did.
So, I deleted wp-content/uploads and then used the C-Panel Cron Jobs option to create a one-time cron job which creates a sym link pointing from wp-content/uploads to the proper location. And now the uploads work flawlessly and I get to instantly see an image in my Visual editor whilst posting, and no longer have to manually move the images across.
Something like:
45 03 * * * ln -s /where/your/images/are/really/stored /where/your/wp/thinks/they/should/go/wp-content/uploads
Then delete the cron job once it completes successfully.
Hope this helps someone else.
