    Quick question about Image Uploader

    Hi all, I have a very quick question that I could use some help with.
    On my vBulletin 4 site, when a user clicks on the "Insert Image" button, they are presented with the window shown in my attached image. The "Upload File(s)" button just shows as text, though it IS a button and works as such, it appears as just text. That makes it less visible as a button that can be clicked.

    Also, users can seemingly upload only one image at a time.

    I came across this YouTube video (not mine) that shows what appears to be a vBulletin 4 site demonstrating the process of uploading images. The upload window in that video is different than mine, and I would MUCH prefer the way it looks in the window.

    My question is - is my forum uploader the way it should be, or is the uploader depicted in the video correct, or is it a modification?

    I would most appreciate any help here, since this would make uploading images easier for my members.

    Thank you!

    The video uses the Flash uploader.

    AdminCP > Settings > Options > Message Attachment Options > Asset Manager - Enable
    Set this to "Yes, Flash Upload by Default".

      On a side note...Recently I noticed that Flash is disabled by default in Chrome. You have to allow Flash manually when it encounters Flash on a page. I think this is the start of slowly phasing out Flash in the future. Soon Flash will be the new IE.

        Thank you so much guys, that answers everything perfectly. I really appreciate it. I suppose using the Flash uploader now would be foolish. Wish the AJAX uploader would function as the Flash one does but no big deal.
        On another note, I especially like the system in vBulletin 5. Great work on that!

        Thank you,
        Greg
