  Okay so both blogs have the Quentin theme and the captions are missing from the images found in the most recent posts on both blogs.

  I loaded the Quentin theme on my test blog and uploaded an image and inserted a caption. The caption is displaying – no problem. I suggest you contact Staff http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

  Still no answer back from wordpress overnight, meanwhile the blog looks like crap… if anyone does know anything about this I’d be grateful!

  What browser and browser version are you using?

  I’ve tried this in Firefox, Safari and Opera on Quentin and had no issues with Captions.

  I’ve tried it in all three now, good thinking!

  Still doesn’t work though!

  Here is the code that is generated when I put in the captioned photo;

  [caption id="attachment_141" align="aligncenter" width="470" caption=""gah""]<img src=”http://curiouscreatures.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/sarcastic_fringehead-22.jpg” alt=”” title=”SarcasticFringehead” width=”470″ height=”352″ class=”size-full wp-image-141″ />[/caption]

  I’ve stripped out all other code to see if that was having an effect….

  Nothing

  ?

  Sorted!
  It was the use of ” / speech marks / whatever you want to call them
  Thanks for your help lovelies!

  That’s both good news and bad news. It may mean the editor is up to it’s old trick again of changing quotation marks to “curly quotes” again. I sure hope that isn’t the case.
