    The site I’m developing has 4 upload directories but only one is required. It sounds trivial but I just spent half the day troubleshooting why certain images were working in Safari but not chrome etc.

    **Some experts out there might find this interesting btw:
    we looked at everything from the javascript to the database and none of it made sense.

    Ultimately I was looking at the generated html and saw that it was http:/”...  just one slash.
    Safari doesnt mind that but everyone else does.

    So ultimately all the complexities and browser compatibility concerns were unnecessary- it was just a missing /  in one of the upload directories in the prefs file. 

    I would love to eliminate this issue in the future as it’s so hard to troubleshoot.
    “Put photos here” is also a better end-user experience to boot.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks
