  Try as I might I can’t get a contact form onto my page. What could the trouble be?

  Are you using Internet Explorer? It doesn’t quite work properly with contact forms. Try Google Chrome.

  Actually, I suspect it has more to do with the windows 7 update. People who haven’t updated are reporting all kinds of problems, which disappear when they upgrade.

  OK. I had the latest update for Windows 7 and Internet Explorer, yet it wouldn’t work, I had to switch to another browser. This was a while ago that I had my problem, perhaps this update you are talking about has fixed the issue…

  Yes, it’s only a few days old.

  I’ve just updated to the latest version of Windows and Internet Explorer, and even that gives me a problem with the form. I should note that a form that has already been inserted into a WordPress.com site displays fine in Internet Explorer, however when inserting a new one, then clicking publish, the form’s shortcode disappears. This problem does not occur in the other browsers I have tried.

  Are you posting it in the HTML editor or the Visual editor?

  Visual editor. It does work in HTML on Internet Explorer, however it works fine in both editors in other browsers.
