Why Doesn't the Add Photos Button Work in Safari?

When Neo first came out I could add photos in my group albums no problem. Last month, it changed. Now I hit the purple Add Photos button and get the pop up window that again says Add Photos. However, clicking this Add Photos does nothing. It just outlines The button in blue and doesn't bring up the photos from my computer harddrive to choose from, like it used to. In Firefox, this works perfectly and I can indeed choose and upload photos no problem. This error in Safari happens in all my groups (I have permission to upload photos). My main group I moderate is Nutshell_Cubbyhole. Please fix this, as I use Safari and don't want to switch to Firefox just to upload photos.

Update:

Like Sue said, dragging and dropping the photo onto the Add Photo arrow works! I can now upload a photo using Safari again. Sue is the best!!

    Try loading another browser like Chrome and use that browser to upload photos. This has been used by members in group who use iPads and were having difficulties uploading photos and seeing them. You can have more than one browser and move between them when having issues.

    The only way I have found to do it is to actually put the photo on desktop then drag it across onto the add photo arrow. Like you I can't pick them up from hard drive any more. Sometimes it is fairly quick but sometimes it takes forever for the upload to complete.

    go to your home page which shows your friends and your current profile picture now if you are in classic view then to the right of your current picture it says add/edit photo click on that then there is a row of buttons click the first one on the left that will take you to the upload screen but if you ar in the new home page style right under your picture it says photos: edit / upload click upload then it will take you right to the upload screen after you have done that then you click browse then click on the pictures you want to upload and you are done hope i helped
