Hello there
Having the same problem
Images are cruncnhing, but after that they appear blank (on firefox) or with the symbol of missing image (on safari)
On a other wordpress site, using the same browser and the same pictures, it works well.
I checked on the FTP, the folder with the number of the month (08) is created on …/wp-content/upload/2012/08 and the pictures are well upload in it, but they don’t appear on WP…
thank you for your help

I have somewhat of a follow-up: I had problems loading images on another wordpress site I just started, and my web server helped by setting permissions for the database WordPress uses. This solved the problem of image upload on that site. I asked what he did and here’s his reply:
“The specific permissions change I’m making is a bit technical, but what it amounts to is giving the anonymous user account, under which the web server runs, read/write permission to all of the files in the WordPress install. Since WordPress runs as this anonymous user when it’s doing various operations on your site (file uploads, etc.), this usually takes care of providing the needed privileges so things work right.”
Anyway, this is only a partial answer, because he re-set permissions on my original WordPress site as well, and I still have trouble with that. On that site, the images files do not upload (do not appear in /Uploads), but a box of the correct size does appear, it’s just blanked out with the “no image” symbol. When I FTP an image directly into the Uploads folder, it does upload and appear in the folder now, but still appears blank in WordPress.
Does anyone else experience this problem? Kapokberlin, are you still having the issue?
try changin your browsers!
Aha! A little digging furnished me with some answers. (Tried several browsers, by the way). Here’s what’s going on: WordPress shows the URL of my pictures as /wp-content/uploads. however there is no “/uploads” folder in “wp-content”. Instead the photos are located right in /wp-content. They upload to there, even if I create an “uploads” folder inside /wp-content for it to go.
I noticed that all the rest of my media is in a folder called /wp-content/images. I don’t remember if I created that folder or an older version of Worpress created it. At any rate, WordPress is for some reason putting the uploads in the wrong place.
So I’ve located the problem but have no idea how to fix it. Can preferences be set for location of uploaded media files in WordPress?
Onward and upward.
What is the setting in dashboard, settings, media?
Hey, thanks!!! it was set to do just what it did, store media in /wp-content, then evidently tried to display them from wp-content/uploads. When I changed it, it now all works. No better feeling in the world, Thanks, kmessinger, you were a great help.
