4,564 PointsI found the problem. The workspace is using SSL (https) but when you try to use the workspace to upload files one of the requests it makes is not secure. All modern browsers are designed to prevent this from happening because it is a security issue. I've brought it up with customer service so hopefully they will fix it.
A temporary fix is to look in the url bar of the browser window where your workspace is loaded. There should be some kind of icon that notifies you that the browser is trying to make non-secure requests. To allow your workspace to upload in most browsers you can right click on it and say allow/load non-secure/unsafe content. Often this icon is a shield or something red in the url bar.
Obviously you don't want to do this on sites you don't trust. But it works for me here.

4,564 Pointsi doubt you need to upgrade to do so. i just started on treehouse today and am experiencing the same issue. i have contacted support about it. i think this is a livesite issue, due to the fact that i have reviewed all the forum topics related to this and have tried all the possible resolutions to this issue with zero results. chrome does seem to make a connection with their text editor but mine is stuck on uploading mode.
