I can only upload via drag and drop through the quick reply, and not in a New Thread or More Options reply.

It is very quirky in Chrome 27.0.1453.110 for Mac OS X. It also doesn't work when creating or replying to a conversation.

This is with all caches cleared.

This also happens with Safari 6.0.5 for Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4.
When I try to drag and drop it inserts this instead:

Glad it's not just me who has experienced this! Thought I was starting to imagine it.

This is covered elsewhere, but expected: you don't have permission to attach files to conversations.

But either way, this looks like the drag handlers won't trigger if you drag directly over the editor iframe first, without hitting the outside document.

Yep, just tried it by hitting outside of the editor first, and it works.

Put the iframe behind an invisible element on document unfocus?

In Safari it stopped working completely.

This will be fixed here shortly.
