  When I try inserting an image into the blog using the little button above the text editor in the new post/edit post part of the dashboard…
  It brings up a new window (not a windows xp window but a wordpress one). I can upload images but when I select one and click insert into post the page loads and I think it works but the basic wordpress “upload an image” window won’t go away. I have to reload the page to get back to the editor and of course the image has not been inserted.

  Help.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Which browser are you using @forgewrite? Have you tried clearing your cache?

  I have cleared the cashe. I saw that on a different forum.

  I tried IE and Firefox.

  I even downloaded Google Chrome to see if that would help.

  None of the side bar stuff works either. I know you shold be able to click on the things that say “posts”, “media”, “links”, “dashboard”, “upgrades” etc. and they should drop down more options. I click, nothing happens. If I reload the page then the side bar stuff will be open (wont close until page reload) but for the life of me I can’t get the “add an image” thing to close.

  I had to go in and write the HTML myself which I guess is ok but still… I would like to make things easy on myself.

  Any thoughts?

  How odd, what’s the URL of the blog on which you’re having this problem?

  I posted it above.

  Browser Issues

  I think it has to do with my security. I have CA internet security bla bla bla. It sucks. Blocks all kinds of things and is NOT USER FRIENDLY. It’s mind blowing how well my computer worked after I replaced it with another suite.

  Anyway, thanks!

  What version of Flash are you using? Try updating, closing and reopening your browser.

  (If you are using FF, there’s a neat page that checks your browser plug-in versions to make sure they are the latest http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ )

  It does sound like you need to update Flash. And remember, you can try the Flash uploader OR the Browser uploader.
