File uploader: issues with Internet Explorer..

Hi all,

I've noticed a few other threads on here with similar problems.

In Internet Explorer, when I select "Add Files", nothing happens. This was brought to my attention by another forum user, as I'm generally a Chrome man (it works fine in Chrome).

I believe this has only started occurring since I last updated the file uploader plugin.

The other posts I've read suggest that I disable all plugins etc. to diagnose. Unfortunately this is a no-go for me as it's a live site and I'm not convinced by the stability/reliability of some of my installed (self-coded ;) plugins.

In Chrome/FF I would debug the problem using the JS console but IE's is throwing up no errors. Not that that really means anything as in my experience it's dire anyway.

The URL to the thread can be found here. Feel free to try yourself using Internet Explorer.

Cheers,
Duncan

guests dont have access to your site... even if they did, they wouldnt be able to upload...

It will still come down to a js conflict usually...  generally speaking its working fine on IE for 99% of the users...

interestingly, you are loading a small number of plugins - just view the page source... and oddly, bbpress css...

you are also serving cached pages... from the footer:

<!-- Performance optimized by W3 Total Cache. Learn more: http://www.w3-edge.com/wordpre.....s-plugins/

Page Caching using apc (Requested URI is rejected)
Database Caching 23/31 queries in 0.022 seconds using apc
Object Caching 750/753 objects using apc

Served from: http://www.seriouslyfish.com @ 2012-10-10 14:04:40 -->

you cannot cache the forum...  so you must disable caching for all types of w3 caching in use on the forum page... see all forum content is displayed on a single wp page.. so caching plugins get it wrong for the forum...

once those are resolved, if still having issue, try a temp switch to the default wp theme...  just trying to locate the conflict...

indeed but it's free to register... :)

/forums/ is on my page-caching rejection list, hence the "requested URI is rejected" (compare to homepage). the forum didn't work at all when caching was enabled on it.

if it's a js conflict, why doesn't the same problem occur in ff/chrome?

removing the js files one by one to determine where the problem is will require plugins to be de-activated which as I stated in OP is going to be basically impossible for us

each browser includes their own proprietary js engine...  so you can get different results in different browsers... just like each browser chooses how to interpret css and IE runs into so many problems for not following standards...

but the caching engine is still serving other forms of caching, ie db... did you tell it to ignore on each type of caching in use...

in one of other couple threads on IE js issues, you will find a plugin that allows you to selectively disable loading of stuff individually on each page... of course, this assumes you know whether the theme/plugin is just foolishly loading its stuff everywhere instead of just where its needed...

hard to help if we cant narrow down the problem...

I have the same issue with the Ad file button, in firefox and IE, chrome works well. I have disabled all plugins, in simple press and in WP. issue persists. I installed the plugin optimizer to control the autoloads, just wondering there had been any progress on your end?

as of now, no progress to be made...  only a few instances of this... granted, would like zero, but IE is notoriously famous for not following standards...

can you provide any more info, such as a link?  does it occur with default wp theme?

I am using the default theme, site is still in production and not published yet.

interesting also, when I first log in to the forum (first session with IE ) the first try the button works. but once I post, it no longer works.
