Some students have reported seeing error messages when trying to upload files to a Blackboard assignment using Firefox version 3.5.x. Information Services is working with Blackboard to obtain a fix for this problem and that fix should be available sometime Monday, September 21. The problem also seems to affect some sub-versions of Internet Explorer 7 and 8. For the short term, Blackboard users are asked to try a different web browser among Firefox, Safari (Mac), and Internet Explorer (Chrome, Opera, and Safari for Windows are not supported on Blackboard).
Update: a patch was installed Friday at 7:30pm that should eliminate this problem for supported browsers.
