Drag-and-drop upload interface updated for Firefox 4 and Chrome users

The drag-and-drop uploader interface has changed for Mac users on Firefox 4 and Google Chrome. The drag-and-drop upload box now opens in a separate window when you launch the uploader; there is a brief delay while Java creates the drag and drop box:

Launching the uploader

We have updated the uploader in response to a conflict between the browsers and Java, which creates the drag-and-drop applet. The update only affects Mac users on Firefox 4 or Google Chrome. Mac users on Firefox 3.6 or Safari and PC users on Firefox 3.6+ or Internet Explorer 7+ will continue to use the standard uploader.

If the drag-and-drop box fails to open or if you close it before adding files, click the Open drag & drop upload button after launching the uploader:
