There is a known issue with Flash10.

Flash 9 will work.

Ok i worked out a work-around which only took me an hour to work out!

First uninstall the flash player from your system and then go to the flash player site and download version 9. Install that and you will have no problem uploading avatars etc.

 

However as a fellow web developer i would have expected Stardock to have updated their software to accomodate the newer version 10 player. Hopefully this will not be long coming as having to use an older version just to get this one site to work is a bit deplorable.

I'd also wish/hope that Adobe wouldn't update their shit to break what was once working.  This isn't an issolated SD site problem.  I've seen it around the 'net elsewhere.

I would have to agree with you on that point as from what i have seen there is little difference from v9 to v10 other than the base change in the upload code that seems to be causing issues around the web here and there. Had to go back to the drawing board for part of my site as it just would not work with the latest version .In the end i scrapped it and went for a java upload instead.

Best of luck with trying to get it fixed though.

No offense taken.  It sucks for us too (as coders and users).

flash 10 fixed some longstanding sound related issues

the issue was that on video sites with some of the videos(not all of them) (like youtube for example) the sound would not play at all on some systems, then after a few seconds and because of that absence of sound, the video itself would get stopped and unable to go any further.

this is just to say, that flash 10 isn't 100% bad ...
