 * Thanks but this does not solve the problem completely. The problem seems to be
   with organizing the uploads into month and year based folders. Although I had
   correctly CHMODed my perrmissions on the wp-content/uploads folder to 777, the
   year and month folders had not been created yet. I assume that normally these
   are created on the fly based on the current time. However, on Media Temples’s
   shared servers php is set to “Safe Mode” so the new year/month folders were could
   not be created. If I manually created them through ftp then I could upload the
   images just fine.
 * Now one solution seems to be just manually creating dozens of empty month and
   year folders for the future and setting them to 777. However, I think this Safe
   Mode issue is actually causing lots of other problems on my site. For example,
   when I create a new user, make them an author, and then login as that new user
   all I see is the Dashboard and Profile tabs! No other options are available to
   the user despite being an author.
 * So, it looks like I am going to try having Media Temple turn off “Safe Mode” 
   which will force all php scripts to run as cgi scripts. Form what I understand
   this will make things run slower but I’m not sure what other options I have. 
   Any suggestions?
 * I’ve seen some other forum posts dicussing using .htaccess files to get around
   the Safe Mode issues but from what I understand from Media Temple’s support staff
   this does the same thing as turning off Safe Mode in that it forces php to run
   as cgi.

 * I am having the same problem described above. I am using wordpress 2.0.4, Firefox
   1.5, and Win xp.
 * There are no plus signs next to the blue boxes for Categories, etc. If I very
   slowly move my mouse from right to left across the right edge of the blue box
   I can sometimes get a “finger” icon for the mouse and click and open the field.
   Otherwise it is the “move” icon.
 * I have checked the location of the toggle.gif and dbx.js and both are on my server
   in the correct locations. I have not changed the admin.css at all so I assume
   it is fine.
 * Please help. Thanks.
