[Forum] Insert Images box is broken after a clean v4.2 update...

[m1thr0s]

We just moved to a new host and decided it would be a good time to update from vB4.03 to vB4.2
The upgrade appeared to have gone smoothly with no errors etc.
Everything seems to work but the Insert Images popup attached to the post editing box seems to be broken.
In frustration I finally tried a complete re-install with no luck.
The two most apparent problems are:
1. The Insert Images box itself is not assuming the skin design as it always used to.
2. The upload from From Computer function will let you choose an image but does not register your selection passing off to select and post.
3. A peculiar milky film appears with the popup that never used to happen...not a problem I guess but strange & unnecessary.

I am attaching two screenshots below. Note that uploads from urls still work but uploads From Computer do not. In both cases the Insert Images box does not assume resident skin properties as it used to do...when it always worked!

One of my members is still running windows xp and she reports her Insert Images function looks bad but works ok.
I am running windows 7 and it definitely does not work on the From Computer side, so maybe this will help a little in identifying the issue.

There were major changes to the editor and styles between 4.0.3 and 4.2.0- Any old style edits made to the old upload box wouldn't work anymore.

The screenshots look exactly correct. What happens when you click o "Select Files" on the left side picture? Can you attach images from your computer in this thread? The upload box will look the same.

Please try it with the default style and see if you have the same problems.

To get the default style go to Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Add New Style and create a new style with no parent style. This will be the default style.

Then go to Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> Style & Language Settings and give permission for users to change styles (if it was disabled) so you can change to the default style to test it.

Try it in this thread and see how it goes. Then point out which steps work in here and do not work on your site.

As for the "milky film", it looks ok on white skin. Kinda looks bad on black skin I guess. Try adding this to additional.css template:
.cke_dialog_background_cover {
background-color: black !important;
}

thanks to both of you for your quick replies!!!
for the benefit of others out there I finally determined it was THE MOVE - not vBulletin...
once I cleared out my old site cookie and logged in fresh the problem vanished.
love your additional tips though...will try those.
