Try checking "Basic attachment features" in settings and see if that works.
"Advanced attachment features" requires working flash plugin, "basic features" uses basic technologies built into your browser. |

Ludwik Trammer had the right idea, thanks. Works now. In a sense it is silly that a feature of this miniscule weight should depend on presence of some third-party component at run time (if at all, it ought to detect Flash, and adapt to its absence when reply window created). |

That's what I did, disabled Flash, but the uploader didn't respond. After changing in the Settings to "Basic attachment features – Attach one file at a time and don't show progress bars," it stared to work again. |
