I used to add attachments in Gmail by dragging and dropping files directly from Explorer. It doesn't work any more. Was this feature dropped with the new design?

It looks like internet explorer is not a supported browser for the drag and drop now. I tried it on Chrome and it worked, where as it did not on Internet Explorer (see pic)
I would suggest switching to a new browser otherwise you will not be able to use this feature.

Oh weird, it's working, now... I wonder if it's related to the "Chrome has stopped responding. Do you want to restart?" messages I have been getting. I restarted Chrome like that since the last time I tried.– LeftiumMay 8, 2012 at 4:48

@Leftium I just assumed you were using Internet Explorer as your browser since I knew that, that browser wasn't supported for drag and drop. My Chrome acts up a lot, and it's usually due to not clearing my history. I had 200mb worth of history. I had to manually delete my history it was so bad, that I couldn't even clear it. For some reason, at least for me it seems Chrome can not handle having a HUGE history. Glad to see it's working now. May 8, 2012 at 16:35
